The Art Center proudly announces “We Are Water,” an evocative exhibition by painter Sharyn Paul. This exhibit embraces the essence of water and her love for it.
Running now through the end of February, “We Are Water” is a testament to Sharyn Paul’s deep-rooted connection to water. The artist’s profound affinity for her element, stemming from her upbringing in Maine – a region with lakes and ocean – permeates her work.
“I love to be in, on, and by the water,” shares Sharyn Paul. “It’s an integral part of who I am, a connection I’ve felt since as far back as I can remember. Painting people, animals, and memories of places within the context of water portrays my innate self and what resonates with me on a profound level.”
Visitors to The Art Center will have the opportunity to explore Paul’s profound artistic expression, depicting the interplay between humanity, nature, and the fluidity of water. The exhibit features enigmatic figures in an environment drawn from her vision of Maine.
As part of this exclusive showcase, meet the artist on Saturday, February 3, from 6-9 pm. and dive deeper into the creative process and inspirations behind “We Are Water.”
Gallery hours for the exhibition are from Monday to Friday, 10 am to 6 pm, and Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm. The Art Center is at 1 Washington Street, Suite 1177, Dover, NH.

The Art Center presents “Beyond the Surface,” an exhibition by printmaker and painter Brooke Lambert. Held in the esteemed Jim Reagan Gallery, Lambert’s showcase introduces a captivating fusion of low-relief sculptural collagraph plates and sculptural paintings.
Brooke, known for her innovative approach, challenges conventional norms by spotlighting collagraph plates as finished art pieces, with an innate perception of her collagraph plates as sculptures. ” Beyond the Surface” is curated to emphasize these plates alongside her sculptural paintings.
Her artistic narrative draws inspiration from the vast expanse of the ocean and its ever-changing beauty, embodying strength amidst chaos. Echoing a profound dedication to environmental preservation, Lambert’s creations encapsulate the duality between intimacy and distance, the urgency to protect nature, and the unexplored realms waiting to be discovered.
Through her transformative process, Lambert breathes life into discarded materials, weaving a tale of hopefulness with elements like string, netting, and fabric, salvaged from the brink of polluting our oceans.
“Beyond the Surface” will be displayed in the Jim Reagan Gallery from January 8 through the end of February. Join us for an Artist Reception on Saturday, February 3, from 6-9 pm—at the Art Center at 1 Washington Street, Suite 1177, Dover, New Hampshire.
