Nathan Caryl-Donlon (b. 1999) is a New Hampshire based artist. Nathan has received a BA, studying fine arts at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He works with mediums such as oil paint, and also color pencils; experimenting with the interaction of space, color, animals, and shapes.
Nathan’s studio arts education, paired with years of creative practice, have refined ideas and developed a stable body of work. He aims to exhibit artwork in public gallery spaces, free to continue prioritizing his artistic research.
“My paintings are thoughts of animals and their perception of our modern, human-made world. I often think about animals’ relationships with everyday items—how they see these objects and the roles they play in their natural lives. Can man-made objects become significant to something that knows no better?
Working with palette knives allows me to apply paint in a more spontaneous way, without the need for blending colors. These unworked, sporadic strokes allow me to quickly put ideas onto canvas, putting the palette knife down as soon as I sense the painting has a soul.”

Kristy Cavaretta (b. 1980, MA) is a Maine-based multidisciplinary artist whose meditative prints explore the beauty and imperfection found in everyday life and the natural world.
Cavaretta holds degrees in Media Arts from Boston’s Emerson College and Graphic Design from the MassArt. In 2012 she moved to the seacoast after a decade of working in the film industry in Los Angeles. She worked as a graphic designer until she had her first child in 2016 and continued to work as a freelance designer for organizations including the Ogunquit Museum of American Art (2015-2019) and Old York Historical Society (2015-current.) Cavaretta began printmaking in 2014 at Chases Garage in York, Maine. Since having her children she has leaned into block printing, direct object printing, and collagraph printing for their accessibility and speed.
In 2021 Maine Magazine named Cavaretta one of the years’ artists to watch, in 2023 she held her first solo exhibition at the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts.
Cavaretta teaches printmaking at Chases Garage and is proud to sit on the board of non-profit ArtHope ( 2015-present.) In 2024 Cavaretta was honored to become a juried member of the New Hampshire Art Association and the New England Monotype Guild.
“This series of woodcut prints evolved from a creative exercise inspired by domestic debris. My children are prolific creators and paper offcuts from printed coloring pages often cover the flat surfaces of my kitchen.
I started keeping these scraps rather than throwing them away and using the negative shapes as jumping off points for my own work. The process of responding to existing composition elements is different than creating in a void and adds a levity and playful quality to the often tight and precious feeling woodcut process. After a few weeks of working in this way I noticed various series of content evolving. This grouping highlights pests and invasive species and their own inherent beauty.”

Christopher Vigue (b.1992) is a photographer based currently out of Chester, New Hampshire.
“Christopher’s “Believe In Angels” body of work started out by being inspired by bootleg religious ephemera. A bright blue bumper sticker that read, “Do You Believe in Angels?” briefly had him asking himself that exact question. The idea is to capture the magic in the little moments of life. While this body of work does not take a stance on religion, it is simply an open-ended question. What is an Angel to you?”
