ABOUT 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.

I’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.

I 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.

A 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.”

‘Metamorhosis’ with Tom Gately – At Inn Boonsboro

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.

ABOUT: “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.
“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.”
Tom 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.””
