I am pleased to announce I will be offering a lecture in the Topsfield Town Library this coming spring in conjunction with my award from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. The focus of this year’s lecture will be connecting the picturesque movement in England with the local landscape of Topsfield. The picturesque movement was meant to offset the negative impact of the Industrial Revolution by creating landscape gardens free from smog filled and crowded London.
I am starting a new series of landscape paintings inspired by the Picturesque Movement and will discuss this connection during the lecture. More information to follow.
As part of my on-going fund-raiser for the Autumn, River Road print sale, I will be presenting a check to the Tri Town Council on January 6, 2020 for 1000.00 dollars.

I will also display several small framed sculptural works.
These are the five panels that will make up the commission of River Road for our new town hall.
And we’re off! Within a few weeks, these very incomplete panels will be ready for installation in their new setting in the Topsfield, Ma town hall. Right now, it feels a bit intimidating looking at so much empty space. #commission, #megblackstudios, #topsfieldma #design #interiordesign
