All Are Welcome: Join us for an evening of wine, cheese, beautiful art 
and craft, and good company.

 This FOA exhibition marks the beginning of a series of shows that 
FOA plans to mount showcasing the many artistic talents of the town 
in partnership with supportive businesses and Venues. 

 This exhibition features works by:

Patricia Ancona - Textiles from Mexico

Elizabeth Converse - Paintings, Design, Textiles

Sophia D’Auria - Handmade lighting

Jennifer Lindstrom - Paintings and surprises.

INCLUDED WORKS BY:

 Patricia Ancona: As an artist I promote Arts and Artists. This is an 
obsession and as an obsession I can only share the fruits and hope to 
share the emotions. These textiles are hand-made by Mexican women 
who will share their skill and tradition. My passion is to support their 
beautiful work and pay them a rate that respects their skill, with the 
hope that their children will learn and continue the tradition. 

 Elizabeth Converse has known several artistic professions from 
the inside out: painter, writer, educator. In the last year, she began 
devoting herself to a new series of painting. Her Away paintings on 
display reflect her recent interest in landscapes and the notion of 
Being Away and Renewal. Also on display are current designs and 
Textiles from her growing Leda Collection 

 Sophia D’Auria launched her company SoPhab in 2014. After 10 years 
of working for others in thedecorative lighting industry, honing her 
wood and metal working skills on both large commercial projects and 
intimate one of a kind designs, she decided to start her own artisan 
business. She is committed to creating fun, friendly and functional 
lighting for both homes and workspaces.

. Jennifer Lindstrom is an artist of many colors and mediums from 
henna to glitter and paint or collage. You never know what its going 
to be, it could be anything. On exhibit will be a collection of bird 
prints mounted in hand painted distressed picture frames. There may 
also be a few original paintings for sale or possibly an entirely new 
project altogether. Be surprised!
