Will Putnam, Photographer
Will Putnam is an Andover, MA, based photographer who focuses on creating images that he hopes will inspire the viewer — to appreciate beauty, to wonder, to think, perhaps to be moved emotionally.
Photography has provided Will with the opportunity to capture photographs of life and nature not only close to home, but in far corners of the world. In his travels, he has found that we all are very similar in our hopes and fears and dreams. Art has the capacity to bring us together in appreciation of the interconnected world around us.
Most recently, Will has been creating images in various locations in the Eastern U.S., from Acadia and Mid-Coast Maine, to the North Shore of Massachusetts, to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and to the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Deanna O’Neill, Brick Piggy Pottery
Deanna O’Neill is an artist living in Andover, MA and working out of The Clay School in Lynn, MA. She has been practicing ceramics on and off for nearly 20 years. Deanna studied painting in undergrad but as part of a well-rounded curriculum took a few ceramics classes. It was during these classes that her love for pottery began. Pottery has allowed Deanna to explore form and function while incorporating stylistic motifs in each piece. She finds inspiration in the world around her but is especially inspired by nature. Her forms are soft and often curvaceous, feminine, and colorful. When not at the studio Deanna enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, dog, and cat. She is especially fond of lazy afternoons snuggled under a blanket drinking a cup of tea or coffee and reading a good book.
