Art Plus

Karen welcomed me at Art Plus, which she has owned since 1993, located in beautiful Concord, New Hampshire. The upstairs space was where I taught 24 students the afternoon and evening workshops - a nice work area with a big window that showcased the impressive evening rainstorm (I asked if the window was tinted because I hadn't ever seen storm clouds that color before!). The locals told me that around here if you don't like the weather you just have to wait an hour and you'll get something different. Art Plus is stocked with lots of art supplies-paints, brushes, pencils and balances it out with stamps and beautiful papers. Karen's dad Pete is on hand to do the custom framing (perfect for showcasing your stamped masterpieces). Karen made me a Cornbread Zuchinni Quiche with fresh tomatoes from her garden (she started her tomatoes indoors early). I can't believe the hospitality of New England! Check out Art Plus' website (artplusnh.com) for a cute video of Karen's son Griffin, who has been known to offer his 5-year old guidance to customers!
