Seen and Unseen
Linda Dolph has an extensive background in art through teaching, studying and her own artistic expression. Photography is an every day thing, capturing images of animals, plants, trees and all elements of nature. These are the things that are SEEN with our earthly eyes. She considers the natural world her “Spiritual Temple” and draws life and breath from experiencing and interacting with the earth and creatures around her.
Inspired by earth’s abundance, a new approach to art principals, her imagination and studies in Shamanism she is employing digital collage as a way to integrate monotypes and images with an eye toward whimsy, the spiritual and the mythical, manifesting “Beings” that she likes to think populate UNSEEN worlds.

Join us on Friday, August 2nd, 11-12pm in the Maccario Room for a free educational program all about North American river otters!
North American Otters were almost eradicated from Massachusetts in the late 19th century due to the fur trade, and industrial pollution in the rivers. As our towns and cities have cleaned up their acts, otters have begun to return. Since they are mainly nocturnal, and very wary of humans, they can be very difficult to see. Come behind the scenes of an otter family’s lives and learn how we can protect both them and their habitat!
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
