  • November’s Art Exhibit at the Barrington Public Library - Sally Mitchel 
    Sally returned to the Seacoast in 2016, after about 5 years in Colorado Springs. She was happy to return here and is now settled in Barrington.
    For a watercolor painter, it was rather startling to see the difference made by the Western light. She feels more at home with the subtle colors of the New England scenes. 
    Sally can be reached at 603-905-9859.
    Her work can be seen at the Seacoast Artist's Association Gallery on Water St. in Exeter.
