She enjoys using her creative flair in quilting and interior design as well. \nSue graduated from the University of Denver with a Bachelor’s in business with a focus on hospitality management and earned an associate’s degree from the Culinary Institute of America. Following her tenure as a pastry chef in New Hampshire\, Sue returned to school for a certificate in graphic design and put her talents to use as a designer in the book publishing and art publishing industries in Vermont. In early 2019\, Sue opened her own gallery and studio\, Arts Abound in Magnolia Village\, MA\, as an artistic haven for local artists. Through the gallery\, over 30 artists featured their creative works\, ranging from paintings\, hand-painted silk scarves\, silver jewelry\, and more. Sue also ran many workshops and classes featuring many of the artists. Often\, Sue would work late into the night\, painting in her Arts Abound studio. After closing the gallery in 2022\, Sue continued to offer the often sold-out painting classes\, taught by some of the Arts Abound artists. \nSue has studied under numerous artists to learn watercolor\, acrylic painting\, cold wax & oil\, and collage. Her goals for the Hammond Castle Museum sketch classes are to engage those who are new to the world of art and reinvigorate those who haven’t picked up a blank canvas or sketch pad in a long time. Sue’s philosophy on the creative process encourages you to be less concerned about the final product and instead to enjoy the journey of creativity and get lost in the moment. Once you find yourself in your work\, you may just be surprised!

SUMMARY:The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings
DESCRIPTION:1776 was more than a turning point; it marked the birth of a new world order. A bold line was drawn as ordinary people made extraordinary decisions\, declaring independence from the most powerful empire on earth. Driven by youthful fire\, they believed in the promise of liberty more than they feared the cost of pursuing it.\nHistoric Beverly proudly presents The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings\, a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition of artworks commissioned to illustrate Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Sr.’s landmark book.\nThese paintings are featured in Ken Burns’ upcoming documentary The American Revolution. The exhibit will be on display at the Cabot House from September 6\, 2025 to July 4\, 2026. Tickets are free and open to the public

SUMMARY:Strawberry Thanksgiving at Plimoth Patuxet Museums (Plymouth)
DESCRIPTION:Plimoth Patuxet Museums invites guests of all ages to celebrate Strawberry Thanksgiving on Saturday\, June 20\, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Historic Patuxet Homesite. \nWuttáhimneash\, the Wampanoag word for “strawberry”\, is recognized as the first berry of the season. For Indigenous communities throughout the Northeast\, the ripening of strawberries has long marked the approach of the summer solstice and a season of gathering with family and community. Strawberry Thanksgiving remains part of these longstanding traditions\, offering a time to gather\, give thanks\, and honor the resilience\, continuity\, and living identity of Native People. \n“Strawberry Thanksgiving is an opportunity for guests to learn about the significance of seasonal cycles in Wampanoag culture and to engage with traditions that continue to thrive today\,” said Malissa Costa (Mashpee Wampanoag)\, Associate Director of Indigenous Outreach and Guest Experience. “We are honored to share this celebration with the community and visitors from across the region.” \nThroughout the day\, guests will experience special educational programming\, live demonstrations\, and cultural presentations centered on Wampanoag seasonal traditions and community practices. \nVisitors to this annual event can explore Indigenous foodways during “Foodways of the First People\,” a traditional cooking demonstration highlighting Native ingredients\, seasonal harvesting\, and historical lifeways. Guests will also experience traditional music\, storytelling\, and artistic traditions. \nAdditional activities include archery\, corn husk doll making\, and the burning of a mishoon\, a traditional dugout canoe (weather permitting). These experiences offer opportunities for hands-on learning while fostering a deeper understanding of the enduring traditions and cultural heritage of the Wampanoag People. \n“We welcome everyone to join us each year at Strawberry Thanksgiving to deepen their understanding of Wampanoag history and the traditions that have shaped this place for generations\,” said Executive Director Tom Begley. \nAccess to all Strawberry Thanksgiving activities is included with general admission to Plimoth Patuxet.
