Crow Town Gallery
2018, Lubec, Maine
Shanna purchased long-established Crow Town Gallery in Lubec where she had been a resident artist three summers previous. Former owners Bonnie and Ukey laid the foundation with emphasis on community which Shanna wishes to continue. One year later, things are finally feeling settled. The 2018 season included live concerts produced by Cobscook Bay Music, a raku-firing event open to the public, and a holiday artisan market featuring local talent. There are lots of great things in the works for 2019!

To deny beauty in the midst of loss would be to deny nature its gifts and lessons.
