When people bring us food on the podcast or host us in their restaurants they get promoted, it’s just that simple. Lucky for us in Gloucester that we live in such a culinary rich community that we get to sample the best of the best.

Let me tell you Twin Lights Smokehouse mussels, salmon and “Hit the Deck” smoked mussel spread is OUTRAGEOUSLY good. This is the stuff you want to put on the table for the holiday and keep in the fridge. It is ELITE, no question about it. Check it out:

Hi Joey,
Hope you’re doing well amidst these crazy times. I’m currently house-sitting in Gloucester and have fallen in love with the land and community here. I am interested in living on a houseboat or house by the ocean on a month-to-month basis starting in January. Would you know of anyone I can speak to about such an inquiry?
Thank you,
Nayad

Early morning – Stage Cove….

Leslie considers herself a large scale colorist and her acrylic paintings and colored pencil drawings reflect her love for bold colors and shapes. She paints area favorites; a Good Harbor beach lifeguard chair, a Twin Lights soda bottle, Willow Rest, and, in particular, Pigeon Cove Harbor imagery. 

Since COVID slowed everything down, the artist has spent a good deal of time close to home in Pigeon Cove where she takes daily walks to the harbor in her neighborhood. There she observes the activity on both the wharf and water, takes photos, and uses the images to create paintings, drawings, and videos back in her studio. “Pigeon Cove Harbor is a magical place with beautiful light and color… truly a painter’s paradise,” said Ms. Heffron.  The Matz Gallery show includes several pieces which resulted from her observations of the cove, including a life-size portrait of one of the lobstermen.

The artist holds a diploma in studio art from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and both a teaching certificate and Master’s Degree in Art Education from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania.  Ms. Heffron is a member of the Rocky Neck Art Colony, the Rockport Art Association Experimental Group, and an associate member of the North Shore Art Association. She has exhibited her work at the White House, Allentown Art Museum, Kutztown University, Muhlenberg College, and galleries throughout the United States.
