River Road, Topsfield Town Library

When I was asked by the Topsfield Library Board of Directors to create a work of art for the new addition of the library, I chose River Road because it represented a visual example of collective memory. River Road is a popular route for walkers and bikers, strollers, and Sunday drivers. Clusters of people travel River Road and enjoy its natural beauty, winding curves, and sweeping vista. Art can do that-it can gather the experiences of different groups of people and provide the story line from which memories are made. This is a 16 x 35-inch print of the River Road painting available for 300.
