- Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease) October 13, 2010 - The Woodshed Gallery in Franklin, Massachusetts will present original fine art paintings by Franklin artist Susan Pratt Sheridan, October 19 through November 20.

Pratt Sheridan's paintings frequently depict the beautiful and ever changing New England landscape. Always ready for inspiration, she says "I always travel with my paints and sketchbook in hand."
Several paintings on display are the result of painting trips to Bailey Island, Maine, where the artist was motivated by the local fishing industry and the unspoiled coastline.
However, for Susan Pratt Sheridan painting is more than making a recording of the natural beauty before her. She explains, "Creating a piece of art is a journey whose final destination is not known. Whatever the inspiration may be, it is the conversation between this, the artist and medium that triggers the marks that create a new reality. It is during this process that we access the deep well of visual memory that excites us when the work acquires a life of its own on paper or canvas."
