With deep sadness....

Joyce L. Youngberg

With deep sadness the members of Art on Main Gallery note the passing of our colleague Joyce L. Youngberg.

She was a watercolorist of immense skill and profound feeling.  Her work is an inspiration; her companionship was a treasure. To have known Joyce is a continuing blessing.

Her beautiful works first graced the walls of Art on Main as a featured guest artist in June 2010 and in June 2011.  In April 2012, Joyce joined Art on Main as a permanent member, bringing much enthusiasm and joy to the gallery. 

Art on Main will celebrate Joyce with a display of her works for the month of July.  Please join us for a special reception on Saturday, July 13, 2 - 5 p.m. 

In Joyce’s memory, we will be collecting art supplies and/or monetary donations to support local elementary schools.

Art on Main voted "Best Art Gallery"!

We're so proud!!!

Biography of Sue Funk

Though originally from New Jersey (GSP, exit 135), we moved to Massachusetts due to my husband’s job. Over the past two decades, I have been involved with raising our children and various dogs who have accompanied us on our life journey. Like most creative types, art is an integral part of who I am. That creative force has always inspired me, from my 2nd grade diary (no stick figures) to creating & needle pointing Tallits (prayer shawls) for each of my children. Educated with a BA in Fine Art at Monmouth College, New Jersey, I chose Monmouth because it was an easy-walking-mile to the beach.

 

My career includes selling my art, a calligraphy business (Sue’s Calligraphy Stuff) and teaching Basic Drawing and Cartooning to children and seniors. Always my first love:  drawing, looking inward and reflecting on paper what I see.
