March Artist-Virginia March

Virginia A. March 2014 “I just turned nine on February 4th. I love to draw. From the age of four I would use every scrap of paper I could find to draw on. I have done a little art in acrylic, oil pastels, and collage but I prefer colored pencil drawings. My best style of drawings are animated characters. Although I love drawing my other love is fashion. My dream is to do fashion or interior design. I like drawing scenes inside a house. I love clothes and creating outfits. Drawing gives me the chance to create fashions, design and have fun. I hope you like my art”.

Nov.5th, 2013,First Tuesday Book Club

Local author Eleanor Morse will be attending the discussion of her book “Botswana, 1976. Isaac Muthethe thinks that he is dead. Smuggled across the border from South Africa in a hearse, he awakens covered in dust, staring at blue sky and the face of White Dog. Far from dead, he is, for the first time, in a country without apartheid. A medical student in South Africa, he was forced to flee after witnessing a friend murdered by white members of the South African Defense Force.   Walking along the road into Gaborone, Botswana’s capital, White Dog following close behind, a chance encounter with an old school acquaintance changes the course of his life”

FIRST FRIDAY- MAY 1,2009-RON ROBERTS

A native of New Hampshire, Ron Roberts recently retired from a life of working with his hands. From his early days on a family farm to a career as an industrial welder boilermaker, he has always felt a kinship to the land. Comfortable working with timber, granite and soil, Ron, with his wife Mary Ann of 32 years, raised their family in a home he designed and built in Stratham. Only recently has he turned his artistic talents from timber frames and barn raising to poetry and photography as displayed here, from his self-published book “LABOR and LOVE.”

Bio from the NEW HAMPSHIRE TROUBADOUR,Were he is a monthly contributer.
