FRAN O’NEILL
My artistic vision focuses on the connection between healing and energy. We are all energetic beings, and the wood grain in my art symbolizes this universal energy. I incorporate dynamic shapes, composition, and color to represent this energetic exchange, which allows abstract forms to integrate seamlessly with the natural wood texture. My goal is to create an intersection where the energy in the artwork, the wood, and the viewer all converge. My work is modern and mid-century inspired with a kinetic feel that resonates with the viewer.

NIKA FELDMAN
As a side hustle to my regular textile art practice, I make small batches of patches and caps featuring slogans of embodied empowerment. The sentiment behind the phrases is what propels me forward as both a woman and an artist.

CELESTE HANLON
Originally from Greenwich Village, NYC-I grew up around a vibrant diverse, community where my mother owned a vintage clothing store for 40years. Being in that environment influenced my aesthetic. I make images often nostalgic, brightly colored, using vintage fabric and juvenile in style. I am very interested in how things look from being decayed, aged and worn. I taught art in kindergarten for 16 years and the looseness, naivety and freedom of the children's art made a big impression on my style of work. Now living in Cape Cod-I work in a variety of mediums: printmaking, sculpture, painting, sewing and drawing. I am constantly making images.
Little Paintings and collages
SIAN ROBERTSTON
Sian Robertson is drawn to all things paper, and she loves to cut, tear, glue, and combine disparate seeming items into quirky collages. In her Postage Portraits she uses postage stamps, magazines, maps, old books, and other paper ephemera to create new lives for people on the stamps (often something more fun than what they did to get on a stamp in the first place).
KAREN CAPPOTTO
My paintings and collage are often meditations on connecting. How memories + storytelling, color our palette and shape feelings about place.

KENNETH ABERT
I am a weaver and have lived in Provincetown for the past 14 years. My hand-woven items include scarfs, table runners, tea towels, napkins and placemats. I design my products using various templates as the base and then alternating the patterns to fit my color pallet. The items are made from cotton, linen, silk, wool and bamboo. I started in Dorchester Ma, which is where the business name originated.
