About Sue Wheeler:
Sue has a lifetime of making art through various mediums from delectable pastries to abstracts in pastels, watercolor, and acrylics. She enjoys using her creative flair in quilting and interior design as well.
Sue 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.
Sue 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!

Rockport Music Presents: A Far Cry and Anthony McGill, clarinet
2026-06-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Shalin Liu Performance Center, 37 Main Street, Rockport, MA, 01966, United States
A Far Cry joins Anthony McGill, Principal Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, for a performance of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, pairing McGill’s trademark brilliance with the ensemble’s adventurous, collaborative spirit in a program of elegance, vitality, and shared musical purpose.
“McGill has a silken tone, but he possesses the admirable ability to vary it, moving into the foreground or receding into the ensemble as in the swirling textures of the first movement.” San Diego Union-Tribune
A FAR CRY
A Far Cry is a Boston-based, Grammy-nominated chamber orchestra acclaimed for its democratic structure, adventurous programming, and deeply engaged performances. WBUR has called the ensemble “a refreshing corrective to classical music’s rigid hierarchies,” while Boston Arts Diary praises its “top-notch, finely crafted, precisely delivered performances” and “robust communal expressiveness.” Guided by the belief that music can help create “a world that listens,” A Far Cry has become a model for artist-driven collaboration in classical music.
Now in its nineteenth season, A Far Cry presents nine distinctive programs shaped by themes such as memory, migration, love, and the passage of time. The orchestra’s subscription series includes full-ensemble concerts at Jordan Hall at New England Conservatory and chamber music performances at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Jamaica Plain, alongside appearances throughout the Boston area. The ensemble is known for collaborations that cross genres and cultures, working with artists such as tenor Karim Sulayman, cellist and singer-songwriter Yeemz, and piri virtuoso Gamin.
Founded without a single artistic director, A Far Cry operates as a collective of musicians—known as “Criers”—who collaboratively curate programming inspired by individual curiosity, shared values, and current events. This approach fosters a wide-ranging repertoire, strong audience engagement through initiatives like Listening Labs and family concerts, and performances that feel both rigorously crafted and vividly alive. As The Boston Globe has observed, even as A Far Cry has become a mainstay of the city’s musical life, “something about it feels perpetually fresh with every performance.”
ANTHONY MCGILL, clarinet
Anthony McGill is one of classical music’s most distinctive and influential artists, hailed by The New York Times for his “trademark brilliance, penetrating sound, and rich character.” He is Principal Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, making history as the first African-American principal player in the orchestra’s legacy, and maintains a dynamic international career as a soloist, chamber musician, educator, and cultural leader.
McGill appears regularly as a soloist with leading orchestras including the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, and the Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, and Detroit Symphony Orchestras. Highlights of recent seasons include premieres of works by Billy Childs and Gabriel Kahane, performances with The Knights at Carnegie Hall, and appearances with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. An esteemed chamber musician, he collaborates frequently with ensembles such as the Brentano, Pacifica, Takács, Miró, and Tokyo Quartets, and with artists including Mitsuko Uchida, Yefim Bronfman, Gil Shaham, and Midori. He is a regular presence at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and major festivals worldwide.
A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, McGill serves on the faculties of The Juilliard School and Curtis, where he holds the William R. and Hyunah Yu Brody Distinguished Chair. Deeply committed to equity and access, he is Artistic Director of Juilliard’s Music Advancement Program and an active advocate for social justice initiatives within and beyond the concert hall.

Newburyport Art continues to support the interest of this cultural icon and will be dedicating their first-of-the-summer Art Market to those who share this passion. Last summer during the 100th celebration of The Pink House, Governor Healey officially declared June 14th as Pink House Day! The NAA will be offering these artists a chance to sell their own original Pink House artwork of all medium, in the Sculpture Garden, on tables, under tents on Sunday, June 14th, 11am-5pm
