Emile Gruppe (1896-1978), Cape Ann master known for cultivating an impressionistic approach through direct and reflected light, states that “objects are affected by two sources of light…the sun and the sky.” Two transparent pigments capture this alchemist drama when glazed, washed or merged:
Alizarin Crimson, a cool, transparent reddish blue derived from the madder plant used for dye since 3000 BC, producing delicate, light pinks when diluted
Ultramarine Blue, a warm, transparent blue pigment named from Italian “ultra marino” (meaning beyond the sea), producing rich, moody violets when blended
CAPE ANN COLLECTORS main gallery celebrates color and the excitement of compositions showcasing expansive skies conveying feeling rather than view, narrative rather than object, poetry rather than text – above the horizon line!

The Magnolia Library and Community Center welcomes the public to stroll the beautiful neighborhood of Magnolia and discover some of the great music Cape Ann has to offer at our third annual Porchfest. The porches of Magnolia will be rockin’ from 4 to 6PM, Saturday May 23, ending in Knowlton Park near the beach for another 90 minutes of live music. In addition to the music, there will be popular food trucks scattered throughout the neighborhood and restaurants 525, Grillfriends and JD Myers Pub will be open.
PorchFests are events where a neighborhood connects porches with musicians for an afternoon of music. Audiences can stroll from block to block taking in local sounds. The PorchFest concept began in Ithaca, NY and has spread around the country and beyond with 234 known festivals – almost 40 of them in the New England area.
For more information including a map of the porches and a list of musicians participating in this year’s Porchfest, visit www.magnolialibrary.org/porchfest.

Thank you to all my partners, clients, friends and family who have trusted and used me for their mortgage needs over the years.
2025 was an extremely positive year built on superior customer service and navigating the difficult homebuying and refinance market. It takes a great team to maneuver in todays housing market, whether it’s in the Northeast or Southeast. Prices are changing fast, rates are moving all over the place and often times there are multiple offer situations.
I am extremely humbled to be part of the Top 1% of all Mortgage Originators in the country. Thank you again to all those who have been a part of it in 2025, and 2026 is going to be even better!
