Stop & Shop Volta EV Charging Stations going in #GloucesterMA

Gloucester, Ma. (July 26, 2024)—At each end of Stop & Shop’s lot on Thatcher Road, two ‘electric vehicle fueling station’ bays with two EV charging spots each are being constructed for public use. They’ll have kiosks running advertisements and should be up & running soon (ETA 2-4 weeks). This is the 8th Stop & Shop Massachusetts EV supermarket installation for the Volta crews.

We had a series of foggy days recently so I went down to my favorite beach to see how it looked in the summer morning fog. What do you remember about Half Moon Beach?

“Stringing Good Harbor” at Jane Deering Gallery

Hi, Friends and Family,

One of my drawings, Stringing Good Harbor, will be part of Jane Deering’s August show in downtown Gloucester. The show is called “Lines of Thought” (August 1-25).  https://www.janedeeringgallery.com/lines-of-thought-contemporary-women-artists-draw

When shown in its entirety, Stringing Good Harbor is a 30-foot-long drawing using a piece of string the length of Good Harbor Beach, one of my favorite spots in Gloucester. Depending on the tide, the beach is about 2000’ long. Six of the drawing’s nine panels will be at JDG, along with a nine-foot “thumbnail” to show the whole image. Technically the drawing is a print, made with string, Knox gelatin, and ink.  

In addition to her keen curatorial eye, Jane believes in building community. With roots in Gloucester, she also has a gallery presence in Santa Barbara, London, and Concord, MA. Previously I did two installations at JDG@The Shed – one showing Stringing Good Harbor in its full length, and a later installation for a different project, Beautiful Just the Way You Are

Happy Summer!
