Art Exhibit: Windows and Water - Paintings by Susan Bienen Johnson​

ART EXHIBIT: WINDOWS AND WATER -- Paintings by Susan Bienen Johnson​

​In anticipation of Portsmouth's upcoming 400th Anniversary year, the Portsmouth Public Library will focus attention on our beautiful surroundings, and local artists throughout our 2023 exhibition schedule.

The library is excited to begin this 2023 series with a two-month art exhibit featuring the work of former resident of New Castle and Portsmouth, Susan Bienen Johnson. Her small, intimate paintings include views of the Piscataqua through New Castle windows and glimpses of the bay from windows on Martha's Vineyard.  Susan Bienen Johnson has most graciously shared dozens of perspectives of our surroundings to remind us of the beauty and history of Portsmouth.
