Features FMRHS Artists in May/June: Tyler Brown, RoseAlaina Leone, and Allura Lincoln

The Walpole Artisans are proud to announce their second annual Student Show, featuring Fall Mountain Regional High School art students in May/June at their Cooperative Gallery on 52 Main Street in Walpole. Three students have been selected for their artwork which will be on display from May 19th-June 15th. There will be an Artist Reception on Wednesday, May 22nd, 5:30-7 pm. Please visit the gallery, meet the artists and discuss their work and inspiration, while enjoying hors d’oeuvres!

Tyler Brown is a FMRHS senior from Acworth, who has always enjoyed art classes. “I just simply enjoy making art that derives directly from my imagination. I’ve also always had an eye for detail (in things besides art as well), so that contributes to my style as an artist.” He plans to attend college at the Universal Technical Institute in Norwood, MA, in the fall.

RoseAlaina Leone, a senior from Walpole, was exposed to photography at an early age with parents interested in photography. She has grown to appreciate the medium which has become an enjoyable hobby for her. “I really enjoy capturing spontaneous moments with my pictures; a happy moment between friends, the funny face of a child, or a small moment of beauty in the natural world. A camera is a way to preserve moments and memories, and I try my best to do them justice.” She plans to attend college in the fall, majoring in anthropology or psychology, but plans to keep up her photography as well.

Allura Lincoln, a senior from Alstead, loves to make art for the joy of it. She enjoys blending things and warping a point of view. “When I’m creating a piece of work outside of a class setting, I usually work straight through until it’s done. I get very absorbed in what I’m doing. When I’m taking pictures, I usually like to capture the essence of a person or the area. I get very excited about it.” Allura plans on attending MassArt in the fall, majoring in photography.

We invite you to the Walpole Artisans Cooperative to support our local youth talent this month including the Artist Reception on May 22nd. If you can’t make the reception, we look forward to your visit another time during the month-long exhibition.
