Artist Bios:

Tom Glover studied at the University of New Hampshire and continued artistic mentorship with John Laurent. Encouraged to see the Great Masters firsthand, he traveled widely across Europe and
beyond, attending retreats and painting in places like the Isles of Shoals, Block Island, and Italy. Glover has taught at UNH and now teaches in Maine. He’s also an artist-in-residence, a certified diver, and works as a painting restorer and framer in New Hampshire.

Don Gorvett, a Boston-born artist, moved to Ogunquit after high school and before attending the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. With over fifty years of experience, he specializes in large reduction woodcuts depicting New England harbors and waterfronts, particularly inspired by Ogunquit’s Marginal Way. His studio overlooks Gloucester Harbor, and his gallery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is celebrating its nineteenth year.

Originally from Long Island, Christopher Volpe is an artist, writer, and teacher working and living in New Hampshire. His paintings in tar and gold leaf reference mortality, mysticism, and concern for the fate of a world buying and spending its way toward uninhabitability. His work is collected internationally and held in the permanent collections of the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the Whistler House Museum, Smith College, Ege University (Turkey) and the University of New Hampshire. He is newly represented by Georges-Berges Gallery in New York City.
