Meditations in Ink… The Nature of Asian Brush Painting by Bruce Iverson
Description: For 3,000 years the Asian cultures of China, Korea, and Japan have expressed their love of Nature with simple, yet, refined tools…brush, ink, inkstone, and handmade rice paper.
“Meditations in Ink” is an exhibit capturing Nature as experienced by Bruce Iverson using these tools and techniques. Bruce’s work draws from these traditions, particularly, the expressive elegance of Sumi-e brushwork. These time-honored techniques resonate deeply with Iverson- not only for their visual beauty but for the way they demand mindfulness and calm. The tools of this art form allow him to express both the Chi (energy) and stillness of Nature with paintings of flowers, birds, calligraphy, and landscapes.

Artist’s Bio: As an artist, I focus on creating artwork that reveals the natural world, its diversity, beauty, and mystery. At the core of my work is a lifelong appreciation and respect for Nature and an understanding of my role within it…I only wish to experience, learn, and share! Hopefully, my work speaks to others who might also resonate with this view. Four and a half billion years of evolution has brought much to be seen and appreciated! A tree’s bark, a breaking wave, a dragonfly’s wing, passing clouds…. I find these things (and more) exquisitely beautiful and fascinating. As a child, growing up in New England, I had a basement laboratory where I explored, experimented, and invented. As a painter (since 1972), my studio and all of the outdoors have become my laboratory of continuing discovery and expression.
As you explore my work, you will find it involves painting and printmaking techniques from East Asia (China, Korea, and Japan). I fir le traditional Asian aesthetic fascinating and resonant. As a “tool user” I have found the tools of East Asian art to be in a class of their own… refined, elegant, and a joy to work with. I hope you enjoy the results!

Nature’s Palette Exhibit by John Webster
Two examples of John Webster’s work.
Description: Nature’s Palette is comprised of a selection of works including both paintings and photography by John A. Webster.
This exhibit showcases the natural beauty of New England’s change of seasons – especially New Hampshire – with paintings inspired by what visions catch John’s eye.
For over 40 years, just as photography has changed from film to digital, he adapts his mediums like nature adapts. Please allow this exhibition to take you on a visual journey through his artwork. John has always found art to be an outlet to explore, create, and meet others. He enjoys making people happy and feeling moved by his creations. John prays you experience the natural beauty of his work, and if a piece speaks to you, he will be more than blessed to share his thought process.
Artist’s Bio: John began his artistic path in trade school and honed his photography skills during his service in the U.S. Air Force (1967–1968, Vietnam). A lifelong learner, he earned his degree in History with a minor in Art through the GI Bill. Active in local art associations and a participant in a variety of cultural events, John continues to grow his practice through therapeutic art classes thanks to museum partnerships with the Veterans Affairs.

Hive Mind Exhibit
2025-11-05 11:00 - 17:00, 2025-11-06 11:00 - 17:00, 2025-11-07 11:00 - 17:00 | Massabesic Center, 26 Audubon Way, Auburn, NH, United States
Visit the Massabesic Center on November 8 for a special Artists’ reception for Hive Mind.
Hive Mind is an exhibit based on communication and connection. For this group show, Artists were divided into three groups, each with a captain. The captain would present the group with an already completed work without telling them anything about the backstory or process; leaving the Artists to interpret what they perceived based on the image alone. Artists worked independently and finished the body of work, minus the work that inspired the group, which was given to another captain, and they would interpret what they saw from the body of images provided. Themes and techniques were explored and all played a part in the interpretation. The finished exhibition is the full body of work from these collective Artists.

NAV Arts is a group of loosely affiliated Artists, Writers, Musicians and Performers based in New England. Having no permanent space or gallery, shows and exhibits are worked to different spaces, based on a shared theme or idea. Artists of all disciplines and skill levels are welcome to take part.
