The Rocky Neck Gallery opens for the season on Thursday, June 7.
The public is invited to an Opening Reception on Saturday, June 16 from 6-8 p.m. to meet new and returning artists. Working in both traditional and contemporary genres, North Shore painters, photographers, sculptors, potters, jewelers, cabinet makers, multi media artists and print makers show their work at the cooperative gallery located on charming Smith Cove in the very heart of Gloucester’s newly designated Rocky Neck Cultural District.  This year the gallery welcomes seven new members: jewelers Katherine Bagley and Deborah Way, and painters Debbie Schraedieck, Phyllis Feld, Elizabeth Gauthier, Dina Gomery, and Kathleen Staab.
 A special feature of the gallery is the very successful Summer Artist Series that exhibits a solo artist or a group show for three weeks throughout the summer. Painter Elizabeth Gauthier’s show “Simplicity through Form and Color” is the first in the series this season.
Gauthier is an artist and teacher from Manchester-by-the-Sea. Elizabeth earned her BFA with a dual degree in Fine Art and Art Education at Mass College of Art and her MFA from Boston University. She has taught various art disciplines at the high school level and in different arenas for many years on Cape Ann and in Boston. She continues to paint and exhibit in the Greater Boston area.
The public is cordially invited to attend the opening reception for both the regular gallery artists and for Elizabeth Gauthier’s Summer Artists Series show on Saturday, June 16 from 6 – 8 p.m.
