New England is a region rich in history, culture and natural beauty, so it is not surprising that many artists have lived and made art here. In this first part of a series, we will look at some writers, painters and patrons with connections to each other and New England. We will travel to various locations throughout New England that were their home and/or inspiration. To start with; Edith Wharton, Isabella Stewart Gardner, Sarah Orne Jewett, Celia Thaxter and Childe Hassam. Being sponsored by libraries, we will also highlight some of the many books that are relevant to the artists, themes and locations.
