Kathy Bouchard lives in downtown Nashua and has a studio there. A retired librarian, she studied art in her early-20s and has continued to explore many artforms. Bouchard uses acrylics and sculpting paste along with architectural templates to create an under-paining that gives her work dimension. She can be reached at kbouchard2@gmail.com.

Rebecca Fredrickson has a BFA in painting and art education from the Massachusetts College of Art. She has shown locally, has had a solo show at Merrimack College, has volunteered with City Arts Nashua and recently served as executive director of an arts organization at the Jaffrey Civic Center. Fredrickson’s paintings of people are inspired by a diverse array of sources, including her own paintings and photographs, digital collages and AI-generated images, creating pieces that resonate with both beauty and complexity.

Carolyn Maul is a professional artist living in Hollis who specializes in Ecoprint artwork, a botanical contact print created on watercolor paper after having soaked overnight in an alum solution and binding the plant material securely enough to boil it for an hour. The boiling causes the dyes and tannins from the plants to permanently adhere to the paper fibers. Maul then often embellishes the Ecoprints with a variety of media. She is a juried member of the New Hampshire League of Craftsmen and the New Hampshire Art Association and a board member of the Hollis Arts Society. She can be reached at carolyn@carolynmaulstudioart.com.
