Meet the Creators

Linda Shields Swicker

As a mostly self-taught art and music hobbyist, I have drawn inspiration from family, friends, workshops, and museums. Dad’s leftover sheetrock from carpentry jobs made perfect substrate for his young daughter’s painting lessons. Those experiences sparked the awareness of repurposing. Fabric arts soon followed and I transformed discarded wool and cotton into vibrant, useful quilts and rugs. This spirit of reuse further evolved into paper collage, combining unfinished watercolors, vintage photos, and thrifted ephemera. “Weaving narratives” around these antique images breathes new life into a forgotten cast-away.  

Eliza Jane Seastone

Eliza Jane Seastone likes to dabble in all kinds of creative endeavors. Watercolor and acrylic paint, mask making, decoupage, cake decoration, costume design, wood and paper, collage, and window painting -to name a few. (Go visit her window works at the Ipswich Family YMCA!) She loves living and working in Ipswich with her hilarious son, delightful husband and wonderpup. She is inspired by our community, creatures, nature, the silly and absurd.
