Spring Finale…



Hi Joey,
A Press Release:
I created a Poster to celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Gloucester, MA. It would be great if this is appears in time for Fiesta in color. I thought it would be fun to create a colorful image to celebrate Gloucester. Initially, I created a Linoleum Block Print. which I had Cape Ann Giclee make into a Poster. The image includes the iconic Gloucester Town Hall, the Seagulls, Our Lady of Good Voyage, St. Peter, A Schooner, representing The Schooner Festival , the local Schooners and the fishing vessels in general, the fish and the Ocean. You can find these Posters at the local
Businesses: Pop Gallery, Art & Antiques and Alexandras Bakery on Main Street. Also, you can find the Poster at Gloucester Stage and The Building Center Gift Shop. In one of the images that I am sending
I am wearing a dress from Pop Gallery.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Harty
Cape Ann Artist

Thanks to a tip from FOB Susan LaRosa, I was able to hustle down to the Fort in enough time to catch this spectacular show. Four of our schooners were together out on the water maneuvering around each other as if on the playground at recess: Adventure, Ardelle, Isabella and Thomas E. Lannon. What a wonderful sight! Looking forward to a great season ahead as well as the Rendezvous event at Maritime July 6-9!!
