She enjoys using her creative flair in quilting and interior design as well. \nSue graduated from the University of Denver with a Bachelor’s in business with a focus on hospitality management and earned an associate’s degree from the Culinary Institute of America. Following her tenure as a pastry chef in New Hampshire\, Sue returned to school for a certificate in graphic design and put her talents to use as a designer in the book publishing and art publishing industries in Vermont. In early 2019\, Sue opened her own gallery and studio\, Arts Abound in Magnolia Village\, MA\, as an artistic haven for local artists. Through the gallery\, over 30 artists featured their creative works\, ranging from paintings\, hand-painted silk scarves\, silver jewelry\, and more. Sue also ran many workshops and classes featuring many of the artists. Often\, Sue would work late into the night\, painting in her Arts Abound studio. After closing the gallery in 2022\, Sue continued to offer the often sold-out painting classes\, taught by some of the Arts Abound artists. \nSue has studied under numerous artists to learn watercolor\, acrylic painting\, cold wax & oil\, and collage. Her goals for the Hammond Castle Museum sketch classes are to engage those who are new to the world of art and reinvigorate those who haven’t picked up a blank canvas or sketch pad in a long time. Sue’s philosophy on the creative process encourages you to be less concerned about the final product and instead to enjoy the journey of creativity and get lost in the moment. Once you find yourself in your work\, you may just be surprised!

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Fiona Sinéad Brehony
DESCRIPTION:Join Manchester-based artist\, Fiona Sinéad Brehony at her Artist Talk to learn about her process and technique in her residency in collaboration with Ocean Alliance\, made possible through the Goetemann Artist Residency program. \nThe residency offers Brehony an opportunity to explore Gloucester Harbor through Richard White’s concept of the organic machine\, simultaneously a natural system and human infrastructure\, yet also something so vast and distributed it exceeds our ability to fully grasp it. \nShe will engage in acts of listening\, watching and writing to see what emerges\, inviting participants in for gatherings where ideas can transform collectively. Working with Ocean Alliance’s whale song archives\, she hopes to develop poetic work that explores ocean presence\, waters shared with whales\, where freshwater meets salt and interaction shifts from intimate to incomprehensible.
