Introducing...

Mary Sheehan Winn!


Let's give Mary a proper intro. 
I was introduced to Mary Sheehan Winn about a month ago. I accompanied our mutual friend (and fellow HomeGrown artist) Sally Dean to Provincetown to visit Mary at the shed she had rented along the pier where she planned to sell her artwork. I instantly gravitated to this particular little painting. How sweet this half pint looks  - the subject so well complemented by Mary's vivid palette. 

We're lucky to have this gorgeous 6"X6" original at HomeGrown Arts and Crafts along with 7 others from from her Daily Paintworks series.  Also available from Mary is great selection of prints and giclees of paintings inspired by her surroundings and recent travels. 


"I am always looking at the world through a painter's eyes. If I'm not painting, I'm thinking about it or reading about it. I hope you all have something in your lives that gives you as much joy as painting does me. If not yet. Go find it!"  ~Mary

Take a look at her "Just Painting" blog she created in 2005, allowing us a peek into her painting world and studio in Rockland where she teaches classes in both oils and watercolors. Mary's warm personality carries through to her canvases. I think that's evident in all of the work that's shown at HomeGrown and that's what makes it such a joyful place.

Here's a Mini Introduction...

I don't usually post on Saturdays but I just wanted to make a quick announcement of our 3 newest artists whose work will be available on Sunday at our opening  - 12-4pm  - and for the late night crowd with id's ;-) 5-8pm. Thought I should mention it quickly because no sooner did their work come in the shop that it started to go back out again in the hands of happy customers. I'll get into more detail about all of them next week.

Markie Mello!

Markie Mello brings to the table awesome handmade wrap bracelets available in single and double twists. A lot of interest in these  - especially with the generation x, no - y? Does anyone know what letter we're up to these days?

Betsey Borden!

Betsey Borden's back and HomeGrown's got her! For years Betsey Borden's shop the Snowy Owl was housed in the same space that HomeGrown is in today. I've heard so much about the talented Ms. Borden and was absolutely delighted when she walked into the shop and introduced herself. A true craftswoman - Betsey does beautiful botanical prints, these incredible starfish that are highly sought after and she is adept at making gorgeous Nantucket Baskets. And that's just a few of her many talents.







Mary Sheehan Winn! 

Mary Sheehan Winn is as delightful as she is talented. Her paintings are colorful and inviting - gregarious - can a painting be gregarious - well Mary is anyway. Just having returned from a weeklong stint in Provincetown her work in the shop is reminiscent of her voyage and we are lucky to have her!
