Rose Bryant | Original Paintings
​
"I love to paint. I love to explore color. I love to watch the brush as it does its work. I am always amazed at what the slightest variation in color or technique can do to a painting.
Saturated color, bold movement, & painting from the heart enhances my organic process.
Most of my work is large ... sometimes in the form of diptychs or triptychs. The process of painting is rewarding for me ...it provides space for meditation and exploration."
Anne Marie Kenny | Industrial Quilts
​
" My Industrial Quilts ™ are influenced by the Industrial Revolution, the Mill Girls, and technology. They are conceptual art quilts made with layers of wire cloth and hand stitching with wire. The contrast of machine-made versus hand-made is part of the aesthetic. I incorporate salvaged computer parts and patinated copper as well as other industrial objects in a standardized, repetitive format alluding to factory made products while at the same time maintaining the intimate, personal, and innovative aspects of quilt making. My art quilts combine traditional and non-traditional quilt making"
Ashley Hichborn - Artist & Graphic Designer
Hi there! I’m Ashley (she/her), and I’ve been creating art professionally across New Hampshire for over ten years. I work in various mediums, including digital art, pen and ink, colored pencil, painting, multimedia design, and print making. Come check out my public art studio space with Art Up Front Street in Exeter, NH.
In addition to my art, I serve as the Graphic Design and Marketing Coordinator for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England. I believe art has the power to change minds. As both a professional graphic designer and a freelance artist, I use my creative skills to advocate for the causes I deeply care about.​
“I hope you enjoy my art just as much as I enjoyed creating it!”
Gaby Grossman
Gaby was one of our very first artists at Art Up Front Street Studios and Gallery in January 2017. After a couple of years, she left on a brief hiatus (still making art and still committed to her community and state as a New Hampshire State Representative).
We are thrilled she has returned because we love her passion for color, art, and all things creative.

Hi there—thanks for stopping by!
My art is all about mixing whimsy, soulful energy, expressive animals and nature to create a world where the everyday feels just a little more magical. I love blending bits of realism with imagination to give my work a dreamy, uplifting quality.
​
In the studio, I treat painting like an adventure. Sometimes it’s intuitive and free-flowing, other times more thoughtful and layered. I play with paint, marks, scribbles, drips, and even hand-painted papers, letting curiosity lead the way.
What I hope most is that my art invites you to pause, connect with your inner dreamer, and notice the quiet magic that surrounds us every single day.
