Patty B. Driscoll

During the month of June, artist Patty B. will be showing a collection of her paintings, based on objects found in a barn her family purchased in 2021. The following is from her website:

This still-life series preserves the quiet legacy of Esther Closson, a Brooklin, Maine, resident. When our family purchased the abandoned Closson farmhouse in 2021, we inherited the contents of its leaning barn, untouched for 20 years. Inside, we found Esther’s textile work, including 13 quilts, tatting, and crochet, along with 85 pieces of Rowantrees pottery, and hundreds of keepsakes—humble objects imbued with care and attention.

There will be a reception held on June 28th at 4PM at the library. For more information on her work, please visit Patty B.’s website. We hope you’ll come in and see her paintings soon!
