Item Description

"Once Upon a Time in Marblehead" by Siobhan McDonald

Medium: Acrylic Paint

Size: 19" x 8"

Artist Statement:

This work is based on several photographs taken around the turn of the nineteenth century in Marblehead. I'm really interested in the history of this beautiful town and have learned a lot in my twenty or so years living here. But I'm also interested in memory and how people's recollections of things and their perceptions can shift over time. For that reason I have altered buildings, played with space, and made other changes that may make this seem both familiar and yet different.

Siobhan McDonald is an artist with a studio in downtown Marblehead, where she gives both private and group art lessons to adults.
