Her work has been exhibited throughout the US and China. \nShe has taught painting and drawing in various colleges including the University of New Hampshire. \nIn 2007 Shiao-Ping won a Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. In 2008 she won the Spotlight Award for Best Painter in the Seacoast. \n\nSee an Ogunquit Art Association interview with Shiao-Ping Wang: CLICK HERE! \nLEARN MORE: shiao-ping.com \nAbout Shaune McCarthy – Painter\n\n\nMy paintings and sculptures are a consequence of experimentation\, spontaneity\, imagination\, play\, and of course hard work.  \nI think being an artist means trusting your instincts and allowing your imagination to show you the path into the unknown. That’s where I want to be with my art. I want to make something no one\, not even me\, has seen before. \nWhen I begin a painting I usually have very little idea where I’ll be going with it. I find that if I attempt to plan a painting or even sketch an idea beforehand I get bored and it never appears like the plan anyway. I endeavor to stay alert to any story which unfolds before my eyes and especially open to those happy accidents which happen if you’re experimenting and staying free. \n\n\nSee an Ogunquit Art Association interview with Shaune McCarthy: CLICK HERE! \nLEARN MORE: shaunemccarthy.com \n\nBarn Gallery 2026: Exhibitions\, Gallery Talks\, Workshops\, Demos\, Auction\, More…Learn more about the Barn Gallery 2026 Schedule: barngallery.org/2026-season \nLEARN MOREConnect With #BarnGallery  on Instagram\n\n	\n	\n		\n	\n		\n			You're invited to the Opening Reception at Barn Ga\n									\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit\, Maine on Thur\n									\n		\n	\n	\n\n	\n\n	\n			\n			\n				\n                    \n                				Follow on Instagram

I like to work in the crack between 2-D and 3-D\, using paint or encaustic and disparate materials on various substrates. Mixed media gives me the opportunity to bring a sense of history and of unearthing a mystery into the current works. My visual vocabulary is rich in pattern and texture and a sense of something beneath the surface\, and I am interested in topography–interior and exterior. \nArtist Bio \nPat Gerkin’s abstract paintings and encaustics have been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows throughout the Washington\, DC area and the Greater Boston and New England area. Her work is in public and private and museum collections in the U.S.\, South America\, and Europe. Memberships include New Hampshire Artists’ Association\, Robert Levy Gallery\, Portsmouth\, NH; Associate Artist\, Torpedo Factory Art Center\, Alexandria\, VA; New England Wax (former); Ogunquit Artists’ Association\, Barn Gallery\, Ogunquit\, ME. Galleries include Art3Gallery\, Manchester\, NH; L’Attitude Art\, Allston\, MA. \nLEARN MORE: gerkinstudios.com \nAbout Merrill Black Aharonian – Painter\nMerrill Black’s essays have appeared in the New York Times\, New York Press\, UnderWired Magazine and in the anthologies Autobiographical Writing Across the Disciplines\, published by Duke University Press and Becoming Portsmouth: Voices from a Half Century of Change\, The History Press. In 2018\, she gave a TEDx talk in Portsmouth\, NH\, titled “Embarrassed to death: The cost of shame’s silence.” \nA 2003 New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow in Creative Non-fiction\, she taught Nonfiction Writing at Southern New Hampshire University and now helps students develop their college admissions essays through the Arthur Ashe Institute of Urban Health in Brooklyn\, NY. \nMerrill Aharonian circled back to visual art in her sixties. She uses collage\, acrylics\, charcoal and mixed media to explore landscape and figurative form. She is continually inspired by her husband Russell L. Aharonian\, and artists everywhere. \nShe lives in Portsmouth\, NH with her husband\, seacoast artist Russell Aharonian. Merrill is currently working on a memoir about generational alcoholism intertwining the stories of a mother’s recovery and her son’s death from the disease\, bearing witness to the powerful community\, enduring sense of connection and surprising moments of joy that can emerge from addiction\, recovery and loss. \nLEARN MORE: merrillblack.com \n\nBarn Gallery 2026: Exhibitions\, Gallery Talks\, Workshops\, Demos\, Auction\, More…Learn more about the Barn Gallery 2026 Schedule: barngallery.org/2026-season \nLEARN MOREConnect With #BarnGallery  on Instagram\n\n	\n	\n		\n	\n		\n			You're invited to the Opening Reception at Barn Ga\n									\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit\, Maine on Thur\n									\n		\n	\n	\n\n	\n\n	\n			\n			\n				\n                    \n                				Follow on Instagram
