SUMMARY:'Garden Beauty' with Carolyn Seibert-Drager - At Gifts Inn Boonsboro
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of wonder and join us for a delightful and enchanting event at the Opening Reception on March 29th\, 2026\, from 1 to 3 p.m. Allow your senses to be whisked away by the beguiling beauty of ‘Garden Beauty\,’ a mesmerizing exhibition by the talented Carolyn Seibert-Drager of The Farmer’s Daughters Flowers. This stunning showcase will grace the walls of Gifts Inn Boonsboro from March 29th to May 31st. \nDo not miss the opportunity to revel in this breathtaking fusion of photography and photo editing\, where each image serves as a gentle reminder to pause and embrace the extraordinary all around us. Carolyn’s photography\, infused with her love of flowers and bright colors\, is sprinkled with an affection for poster and pop art. Each photograph is a snapshot in time\, cherishing the moments that allow her flowers more time to be seen and loved. Let us celebrate the beauty of art and nature together in this enchanting display! \nCAROLYN SEIBERT-DRAGER ‘Garden Beauty’ Exhibit March 29thth – May 31st 2026 Photography on display at Gifts Inn Boonsboro. \nOPENING RECEPTION: March 29th\, 2026 from 1 – 3pm \nABOUT by CAROLYN SEIBERT-DRAGER: “My photography is infused with my love of flowers and bright colors\, sprinkled with an affection for poster and pop art. Photos are literally a snapshot in time\, and I relish giving my flowers more time to be seen and loved. \nI’m often asked why I always use my business name rather than my own; it’s because it reflects the roots of my inspiration. I grew up on a small dairy farm in Pennsylvania\, and named my photography business in honor of my late father. My love of the land and everything that grows on it is deep in my soul\, a bond with and a gift from my dad. \nI have been a photographer most of my adult life\, though primarily for work as part of a career in communications. I finally stopped ignoring a different potential side to my photography during the coronavirus pandemic. The idea of pursuing a more playful\, creative version had been germinating — pun intended — in the back of my mind for months\, and eventually I gave it a try. I’m having even more fun than I imagined. \nA quote by botanist Luther Burbank from more than 100 years ago hangs in my studio: “Who does not love flowers? For whom will not flowers make more sunshine?” My photos are a reminder to take time to see and embrace the extraordinary all around us.”

DESCRIPTION:Join us for an enchanting art opening reception at Inn Boonsboro on February 15th\, 2026\, from 2 to 4 PM\, featuring the original watercolor works of recently relocated artist Tom Gately. His captivating series\, “Metamorphosis\,” beautifully captures the essence of his change\, growth\, and transition from New England to the scenic Potomac River Valley. Tom has found endless inspiration in the charming architecture and landscapes of Boonsboro\, MD\, and Shepherdstown\, WV. As he enthusiastically shares\, “I’m looking forward to painting scenes of the tri-state area (WV\, MD\, PA). Like New England\, this area is so rich in history it provides an abundance of subject matter that I’m excited to interpret in my art.” Supported wholeheartedly by his “better half\,” Jane\, and their two furry shop assistants\, Riley and Piper\, Tom invites you to experience his artistic journey through this vibrant collection. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a delightful afternoon celebrating art\, history\, and community. \nABOUT: “Tom Gately is a local artist in central Massachusetts. He began painting as a young man in his teens and twenties. After an extended hiatus to pursue a career\, family and the renovation of a historic (1756) home in Brimfield\, Massachusetts\, he rekindled his passion for painting in retirement.  He has won awards for watercolor painting at the 2023 Massasoit Art Guild annual show\, the 2024 Leicester Art Show and was honored with the Vernon Graham Memorial Award for excellence in watercolor painting.\n“I’ve always found inspiration in the architecture and landscapes of New England. I’m especially drawn to the light and shadows that only the change of seasons in New England can provide.”\nTom and his wife Jane and their two dogs\, Riley and Piper\, moved to Shepherdstown\, WV\, in the fall of 2025 to be closer to family. “I’m looking forward to painting scenes of the tri-state area (WV\, MD\, PA). Like New England\, this area is so rich in history it provides an abundance of subject matter that I”m excited to interpret in my art.””

SUMMARY:'Curated Contraptions' by Mary Masterilli - At Gifts Inn Boonsboro
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for an Alice-in-Wonderland wild experience at the latest art show by fantastical\, steampunk-inspired\, mad scientist-artist Mary Masterilli! Specializing in mixed-media assemblage and crazy creativity\, Mary cannibalizes bits and bobs from ordinary items and turns them into works that are completely unexpected. Join us at GIB on June 7th from 1-4pm to meet Mary and marvel at her amazing art\, just in time for Father’s Day! \nArtist’s Statement: “Junk is my medium. Vintage typewriters and cameras\, broken VCRs and DVDs\, creepy doll parts and other “found objects.” My steampunk-persuaded art brings together the discards and fragments of industrial society with natural elements such as wood and copper\, interpreting the histories of forgotten things. Whether functional art\, casual furniture\, or fine art sculpture\, Apothic Art represents my ongoing attempt to recapture the feelings and memories of a free-range childhood spent playing in abandoned factories along Philadelphia’s Manayunk Canal.” \nTitle: Curated Contraptions \nDATE: June 7th\, 2025 \nTime: 1-4pm

SUMMARY:'Curiosities' by Kelly Scudieri - At Gifts Inn Boonsboro
DESCRIPTION:Let the Wild Rumpus begin! Kelly Scudieri is joining us for the latest of her fantastical phenomenal phantasmagorical art shows! Join us on May 9th from 5-8pm to meet this fearless painter\, musician\, and all-round Renaissance Woman in person and fall under her spell. \nTitle: Curiosities \nFrom Kelly’s website: Kelly Scudieri’s figures stare back at you unabashedly\, with soul-revealing eyes\, often surrounded by what at first glance appears to be an arbitrary environment. Combining realism and surrealism\, her characters\, surrounded in majestic color studies\, come to life. To Scudieri\, the mystery is a part of the beauty of the art. “It’s not so much about “who” specifically these characters are as to the human complexities they represent.” \nScudieri is a graduate of Shepherd University with a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Art. After 13 years dedicated to the mental health field\, she delved full time into her art in 2003 and was received graciously.  \n

SUMMARY:'Destination Inspiration' Watercolor Show At Inn Boonsboro
DESCRIPTION:Gifts Inn Boonsboro is delighted to offer ‘Destination Inspiration’\, an art exhibit by popular local painter Sharon Benoit.\n\nSharon is a fine artist who has worked in the local area for decades\, in the watercolors we know her for best\, but also acrylics and even murals.

I love the outdoors\, the rustic charm of century old barns\, the smell of the air while walking next to the ocean in the fall\, or the feel of soft powdery sand of a tranquil beach on my feet. Painting is my way of sharing with you the places I’ve been and the beauty I’ve seen and felt.”\n\nJoin us for a special receptions at Inn Boonsboro on Sunday\, April 21 from 2 – 4 PM.\n\nHer work will be on display until June 3rd and can be view by appointment.\n\nCall us at 301-432-0090 to schedule.

SUMMARY:"That's Not Photography"
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception July 23rd 2 – 4 pm \nThom Davis doesn’t paint with watercolors or oils. He paints in pixels. Starting with a photo of something that catches his fancy\, he begins his transformational process to get the observer to bypass the well-worn story the image usually prompts and look deeper.\nWith a passion that began when he was only eight\, Thom is fascinated by the use of color\, shape\, gesture and mood to elevate photography to a tool that allows us to see past the obvious and attune ourselves to the infinite messages that surround us at all times.\nAs you can imagine\, this makes him an extremely interesting person. Come meet him and begin the journey! \nThom’s work will be on display at Inn BoonsBoro until September 17th. If you are interested in viewing his work\, you can schedule an appointment with the Gifts Inn Boonsboro.

SUMMARY:"Meet me in the Garden" Claire Hardy's Modern Florals
DESCRIPTION:Claire Hardy is a grand master of shade and color\, creating heart-stopping oils of the natural world that seem to vibrate right off the canvas. They almost look three-dimensional. We’re forever grateful to Nora for introducing Claire to us\, both for her glorious art and her irresistible personality. Talking to her is as delightful as perusing her work. Part of what makes her so magnetic is her endless eagerness to learn\, and to share what she discovers. The elegant Inn is a perfect showcase for Claire’s art. Don’t miss this one!

SUMMARY:"Talisman" Rhonda J. Smith Opening Reception January 30th 5:00 - 8:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nRhonda Smith\, an artist and retired Professor of Art from Shepherdstown University\, comes to her creations from odd angles. Her intaglio and Lino prints are impressed onto archival paper through an intricate process of slathering plates with non-toxic inks and over-printing them\, a process as unexpected and exciting as the travels that prompted it. She is fascinated with talismans\, charms for invoking luck and protection. Whether the journey is literal\, artistic or self-discovery\, the knowledge\, experience and surprises all become part of who we are and contribute to more complex being who comes home. Rhonda believes that art demands that both artist and viewer share a quest to find understanding in the art piece\, and that the art itself is a talisman\, a wish\, a prayer that connects the creator and the observer.\nThe Talismans Exhibition will open with a reception at GIB on Thursday January 30th from 5-8 (snow date February 20th)\, with the artwork on display until February 29th. Save the date now to see these evocative\, thought-provoking pieces and their delightful creator\, while enjoying champagne and light refreshments.

SUMMARY:'Bloom: Modern Floral Paintings by Clarie Hardy'
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nClaire Hardy grew up in California\, where an art teacher taught her how shading can create the illusion of form. Her hauntingly beautiful oil paintings (favorites of Nora!) prove what an apt pupil she proved to be. She continues to study and experiment with oils\, always eager to learn from the next painting.                                                        Claire will be our featured artist through November 25th.

SUMMARY:'Abstracts in Ink' Opening Reception September 14th 11AM-3PM
DESCRIPTION:  \n                                                                   \nNew works by Moonstone Muse \nStacy’s career trajectory has been far from linear. She began her career as a graphic designer; soon after she morphed into a web/database application programmer. From there\, Stacy switched gears and was a non-fiction storyteller and technical writer for a NASA contractor\, writing about Near-Earth asteroids and the scientific experiments on board the International Space Station. Stacy has provided project management\, creative direction and technical guidance for eLearning and learning-centered content. Currently she’s a sales proposal writer by day and an inventor/artist/industrial designer by night. Stacy’s art and jewelry are abstract\, original and affordable.  As writing is a fairly structured process\, Stacy favors abstract and free-form art where she can work with her hands. The items in our shop are the result of  experimentation and play\, and it shows.

SUMMARY:New works by local artists Jannon Baer & Sharon Benoit
DESCRIPTION:Waking Dreams by Jannon Baer and True to Life by Sharon Benoit \n Inspire both the left and right sides of your brain with this explosive art exhibit by two equally brilliant but very different painters. Jannon’s abstracts spark sheer delight in the imagination\, while Sharon’s detailed idylls evoke memories of quiet bliss. \nWorks from these local artists will be on display at Inn Boonsboro\, open to the public on April 6th from 1-3. Come meet the artists and enjoy the beauty of their craft against the spectacular backdrop of the Inn. \nAcrylic Painting by Jannon Baer \nJannon is a visual artist with a passion for dance. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Painting from Shepherd University. As a freelance painter\, Jannon has displayed artwork in Baltimore and Western Maryland. Recent exhibitions have included the Himmelfarb Gallery at Maryland University for Integrative Health (formerly Tai Sophia) of Laurel\, Sunlight Natural Health of Timonium\, Expanding Heart Center Gallery of Frederick\, Regenerate Float Center of Hagerstown\, and Washington County Arts Council Gallery. Jannon enjoys combining meditative practices with dance as an offering for healing and to embrace rich traditions of cultural art forms. Jannon is a member of Hagerstown Artists Group\, a local art organization which works to connect local artists to share ideas and positively impact the community through the arts. Jannon has been an in-home companion for the elderly for the past year. Within the past year\, she has teamed up with local drum facilitators from Frederick to offer dance movement for residents in local assisted living centers. \nWatercolor Painting by Sharon Benoit \nSharon Benoit has migrated up the coast from the lower Eastern Shore\, through her study at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in the Smoky Mountains\, to Frederick Community College\, and has landed in Knoxville MD with her family\, in easy reach of the Potomac. Her passion is watercolors\, but she has also studied commercial illustration\, acrylics\, wearable art\, 2&3 dimensional stitchery\, weaving\, batik\, tie-dy\, cast & applique jewelry\, polymer clay and stoneware pottery. Her detailed watercolors have won top awards at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts\, the Great Frederick Fair\, and the Salisbury Institute for Art\, and she has exhibited at a dozen local venues. She tells us that she describes her work simply as ‘realism’. Being outdoors in farm country\, or walking by her beloved Potomac River\, or enjoying the beaches of her youth\, is where she finds her inspiration.
