Gallagher - Lynda Gallagher - Fiber Artist Fiber Artist Lynda has had a thirty year passion for working with fabrics, playing with color and design, and often repurposing fabric for new creations. Her adventures have included quilting, embroidery, sewing bags, crocheting, rug hooking, penny squares and wool mittens from sweaters. When she discovered needle felting a few years ago she instantly knew it was the perfect new medium for her to explore. The art of using natural wool fibers to create landscapes is an exciting challenge for her. She marvels at the beauty of nature and is inspired to recreate it in wool with wet felting and needle felting methods, a fascinating blend of ancient and modern techniques. We encourage you to visit our gallery and see Lynda’s work in person. Felted wall art is stunningly unique, and something that we believe our patrons will love as much as we do! Lynda’s other talents include photography, wood crafts, jewelry and stained glass. https://www.apleasantshoppe.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6a48ee8c06f20bec053bc3/fa721c65-a0fd-4dde-b5e9-6f29eb3c4594/A-Pleasant-Shoppe-Portsmouth.jpg CONTACT US https://www.apleasantshoppe.com/belo-the-sea-treasures daily 0.75 2022-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6a48ee8c06f20bec053bc3/8fe23e5d-af75-441d-84c5-2f947fccbbe4/BeLo-Designs.jpg BeLo The Sea Treasures - Bev & Loie Below the Sea Treasures BeLo the Sea Treasures are made by Bev and Loie. (The name "BeLo" is "Be" for Bev and "Lo" for Loie - get it?) Bev is the sea glass hunter and makes the gifts. Loie creates the jewelry and manages the business. Bev has been collecting sea glass for over 12 years. In that time, the amount and color variations have dramatically decreased, due to the popularity of sea glass and the fact that it's not a renewable resource. That means that sea glass is getting more valuable all the time. Loie has always made and sold products, including embroidered apparel, handbags, totes, pillows made from antique handkerchiefs and most recently, fabric face masks. As Bev's collection grew, Loie kept asking her what she was going to do with all of it. Turns out that Bev just likes to collect and sort. Loie, ever the creative entrepreneur, decided to teach herself how to make wire wrapped jewelry and BeLo The Sea Treasures was born. (Note that Loie used to call Bev a hoarder but now she calls her the supplier, haha!) After Loie honed her skill, we began to sell at juried craft shows, stores and galleries. We normally do about 12 shows a year from May-December.

This lovely and simplistic location helped to foster my creativity which I exercised and practiced from a very young age. My very talented father taught me much about art and media. Over the years, I have had much support and encouragement from mentors, friends, and family. I also experienced plenty of “dangers, toils, and snares” (words from ‘Amazing Grace’). This song and its truth describe my experiences and motivation well, thus becoming the name of my business: Amazing Grace Arts. I pray for each recipient, as I paint, and, I have been told this is a healing energy.

I so wanted to be an artist. I moved to NH in the early 80’s and began to look for activities to feed my soul. I searched for a creative outlet and found the Nashua Arts and Science Center. Took a pottery class, and wow, threw a set of bowls in my very first class. It was love at first turn! I have been spinning my wheel now, for nearly 40 years, creating finely crafted, functional pottery such as plates, mugs, bowls, vases, platters, pet bowls and unique home décor. All glazed in soothing earth tones, each piece is well designed, distinctive, and will last for years to come. https://www.apleasantshoppe.com/ben-reeder daily 0.75 2022-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6a48ee8c06f20bec053bc3/fe9187ef-7adb-46e2-8ad5-d1da7afb6e3d/Ben-Reeder-Photo-South+End+Sunset.jpg Ben Reeder - Ben Reeder Ben is a landscape photographer from Newmarket, NH and loves to capture the beauty of Portsmouth and the coast of New Hampshire and Maine.

After graduating in 1961, she transitioned from using natural mineral pigments and sumi ink to more Western style oil and acrylic paints. Despite this change in materials, she incorporated the same Nihonga techniques. Motoko actively participated in exhibitions in Tokyo before beginning a career as a middle school art teacher at age fifty-three. During those teaching years, she was popular among students with her unique method of cherishing individuality, and emphasizing detailed observations with her philosophy that there is no right or wrong in art. Her childhood memories along with her life surrounded by the sacred grounds of Shinto shrines, nature, and inquisitive creativity form a foundation for her paintings. While her classmates announced that upon reaching 80 years old, they would no longer have exhibits, Motoko moved to the United States to be close to her daughters, and granddaughters who grew up in Rye, NH. She continues to immerse herself in painting each day, and was the featured artist at her university alumni art exhibition in New York City in September 2021. Her love of painting is her source of energy and sustenance. https://www.apleasantshoppe.com/roxanne-cirelli daily 0.75 2025-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6a48ee8c06f20bec053bc3/06fe95db-b120-4ede-adef-cd436d443726/Roxanne-Cirelli-Artist.jpg Roxanne Cirelli - Roxanne R.

I always feel my best when I am creating something and sharing it with others. While I have worked in many mediums, I still find watercolor the most intriguing. I paint both plein air and in my studio. Both have their unique challenges and rewards. I mostly paint landscapes. Living in Maine, I am often rewarded with spectacular visions of nature, light and shadow. They became my watercolor challenges. But something was missing. I needed more. So I developed a process I call Reconstructed Watercolor. This new process is generating an endless flow of ideas for me.
