As a part of the Artists' Cooperative Gallery of Westerly's 25th anniversary, the gallery will be holding a special event on September 9th in collaboration with Rhode Island poets, musicians, and storytellers. Local poet Pat LaRose wrote two poems for this event that were inspired by two of my works. Her poems "Touchstones to the Past" and "Under the Sea" are shown below. Touchstones to the Past To open the treasure box of memories first, heft the key opening your heart. Gent

From June 2 until June 25, my artwork will be featured at the Artists' Cooperative Gallery of Westerly. #featured #westerly #event #show #kathleen #hemenway #painting
