Deb Haney is a world traveler and collector of the old, odd or unusual, and has embraced the world of handcrafting and design for decades.   Her ethnic inspired adornments for home, person and garden have been sold in shops, shows and galleries in Southern California and New England.

Deb was honored to have been juried into several national mixed media exhibitions at the Bristol (R.I.) Art Museum, an historic mixed media art exhibit at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT honoring the thousands who lost their lives to COVID, as well as numerous local art events in Melrose, Malden, and the Winthrop and Revere Art Festivals.

Deb lives on Revere Beach (the oldest public beach in USA!) where she looks out on the ocean for daily inspiration.

This “Oldest Public Beach in USA” series comes from her musings about the ways people enjoyed Revere Beach in early times.    Vintage images, acrylic paints and several mediums were used in these acrylic mixed media collages.

An artist reception will be held on Monday June 2nd from 7-8pm.  Everyone is welcome to attend.

Join us on Wednesday evening, March 19 at 6:30pm, to celebrate the arrival of spring with a special bilingual storytelling program. We will travel South to Chile and learn about the beautiful legend of their national flower. This tale from the Mapuche land tells the origin of Copihue, a flower symbol of friendship, happiness, and gratitude. This free program will feature storytelling (in Spanish and English), a creative activity, and a dynamic activity.

Recommended for families with children ages 5 and up.

This program is supported by a grant from the Malden Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

The artwork by Edward Cardini will be on display throughout March.

Edward describes his work:

My art is a dynamic interplay of various techniques, combining elements of realism, impressionism, expressionism, and post-cubism.  

Through my art, I aim to create a visual journey that fascinates and resonates with the viewer, inviting them to explore the depths of color, contrast, and composition.
