Art Reception, Friday, April 10

From 5–7pm, the public is invited to attend a reception for an exhibition featuring paintings by Walden Whitham and weavings by Sarah Warren.

Walden Whitham of Richmond, NH, is an educator, musician, storyteller, writer, and visual artist. He has always explored art in various forms, but it was during a graduate program in arts and education at Leslie College in 1996 that he started taking creating art more seriously. He finds most of his inspiration in the natural world, often capturing images with photography, traveling with watercolors for convenience, exploring painting first with monochromatic acrylics, and then with oils. Walden has exhibited his art locally at Sunflowers Cafe, the Peterborough Hospital, the Jaffrey Civic center, and in private homes in a half dozen states. 

Sarah Warren has lived in NYC, Cambridge, MA, Northern New Mexico, and currently calls both the White Mountains and Dublin, NH home. Her goal as a weaver is to communicate the peace, inspiration and renewal that can be found in the natural world, constantly analyzing colors, patterns of light, and the angles of natural land and sky scapes, imagining how to turn what she sees into tapestry. All of her tapestries are woven with weft that she has dyed, using wool spun by Harrisville Designs. With a background in watercolor painting, knitting, and needlepoint, she quickly became enthralled with tapestry weaving. Sarah has studied with master weavers who taught her design techniques based on sacred geometry, how to dye wool, and Navajo weaving techniques. Juried into the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 2007, she has exhibited in many of their galleries throughout the state and at their Annual Craftsmen Fair in Sunapee. She has won awards and exhibited throughout the United States, Great Britain, and Europe.

Exhibition runs Wed, April 8  - Wed, April 29, available for viewing and purchase during Dubhub open hours and by appointment.
