Peterborough Town Library, 2 Concord St., will an exhibition of new paintings by Peterborough artist R. Scott Hyde.

“Where A Trail Leads” will be on view in the Peterborough Town Library’s Community Art Gallery from Friday, June 2, until Saturday, July 29. The opening reception will be held on First Friday, June 2, from 5 to 7pm.

Additionally, Hyde will be offering an artist talk, in conversation with musician and composer Tom Martin, on Saturday, June 24, from 2 to 3 p.m. to discuss how his surroundings inspire him and his creative process. 

Hyde received his BA in studio art at Bates College in 1982 and his MFA in painting from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College in 1985. Hyde currently resides in Peterborough and has worked as an art educator, builder and artist for the past 30 plus years in New Hampshire. 

With his first shows taking place in 1987 and 1988, Hyde stated, “It has been a long journey since those early shows as my artwork privately evolved as I raised a family. What has remained constant in my journey and artwork is how painting and drawing brings an awareness and perspective to my surroundings.”

The PTL Community Art Gallery is a regional public art space which provides exhibition opportunities for students, emerging artists and the community. The PTL Community Art Gallery Committee works to create positive experiences that promote learning and growth for artists and develop meaningful connections between the artist and the community.  

“We are so excited to host this exhibition of new work by Hyde at the Peterborough Town Library. His abstracted landscapes, full of bright colors, will enliven the walls of our gallery just in time for summer,” stated Public Services Librarian Aimee LaRue.
