Packed in a Trunkby Jane AndersonI've had the privilege of living with a Provincetown artist for the past fifty years of my life. She died when I was only three, but her paintings hung on the walls of the house where I grew up. They now hang in my home here in the Hollywood Hills, a good 3,000 miles away from where she first set up her easel on the Provincetown beach almost a hundred years ago. You've never heard of Edith Lake Wilkinson. At the age of 57 she was committed to an asylum. Her art, along with all her worldly possessions, was packed up in a couple of trunks and shipped off to her sole surviving relative, a nephew in West Virginia. Edith was never heard from again. The trunks sat in an attic for the next 40 years, shut tight and collecting dust. And then my mother showed up. Provincetown Art Association

Resurrected artwork by Edith Lake Wilkinson www.edithlakewilkinson.com Memories Find a Home in Fine Artby Anhay StewartMy name is Anhay Stewart and I am an artist. I was born in Santiago, Dominican Republic, a bright country with white sand and blue seas. A typical scene from my country is full of vibrant, rich colors and warm tropical vibes. The Dominican Republic is a place that thrives in the path of the sun, with its warm climate and lush landscape. Since I was a child, I've always been interested in arts and crafts. My mother was a teacher who always encouraged me to have a very solid education and taught good values. I was provided with many art supplies such as watercolors, sketch pads and colored pencils. From a very young age, nature inspired me. I grew up always outdoors, climbing trees, running down to the river, and using my imagination with only my environment around me.
