In August, the DubHub/Dublin Community Center, 1123 Main St., will exhibit, “A Sense of Wonder: Paying Attention with Intention,” featuring the works of artists Jean Mann and Joan Cunningham of Hancock, Susan Byrne of Keene, Terry Govan of Peterborough and Amy McGregor-Radin of Jaffrey. The public is invited to come meet the artists at a public reception on Friday, Aug. 9, from 5 to 7 p.m.

While each of these artists has a distinct style and approach, they all share a curiosity about what it means to pay attention with intention throughout the creative process. The exhibit features art in a variety of mediums, including oil paintings, collage, detailed mandala-like designs and hand-pulled prints.

Mann has spent many years drawing, painting and teaching art to children and adults. She paints both outdoors and in her Hancock studio, where she welcomes visitors. Mann is a member of Oil Painters of America and Monadnock Art, and curates the new Delrossis Tavern Art Gallery. She works in oil, pencil and recently, tar. Commissions from photos or slides include portraits of people, animals and homes. Mann shares her work throughout New England and New Mexico in exhibits, shows and galleries.

Govan settled in the Monadnock area five years ago after finishing a career in graphic design. When she is not volunteering on her community farm, she is creating full-time in Peterborough. She likes to experiment with different ways to use her original artwork in products. Under the name GoTe Creations, her art panels, owl pillows, earrings and magnets may be found for sale at either Hannah Grimes Marketplace in Keene or My Country Store in Durham.

Cunningham recently transitioned from graphic design to creating art full-time in Hancock. Her practice combines collage, painting, printmaking and photography. Living in this region has shaped her approach and inspired her to explore themes around kinship with nature.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Byrne came to the Boston area in the early 1990s to further her career in technology and financial services. Throughout the years, she studied printmaking part-time. In 2018 Byrne “rewired” to explore her creative path full-time and relocated to Keene. She is a member at Zea Mays Printmaking.

A Michigan native and a New England transplant, McGregor-Radin now spends the bulk of her time in Jaffrey within sight of Mount Monadnock. She studied white-line woodcut and other printing methods in and around New England and has taught others the technique over the past decade. Devised by Provincetown artists in the early 1900s, the white-line method involves incising wood with a design, hand-painting each shape on the board and transferring the color to paper using a traditional printer’s baren or other tool to create pressure. 

This show may be viewed until Aug. 28,  during open hours or by appointment. For information, send email to  info@dublincommunitycenter.org.
