Photographer Ann Marie Shpeley’s work will be featured through September at New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM), part of its longstanding commitment to support local art. “We are thrilled to show her work in our beautiful new Moultonborough Campus,” said NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings. “Her work complements the themes of our exhibits, too, which reveal glimpses into all aspects of boating culture and life.”
An award-winning landscape and portrait photographer, Shpeley is a member of the New Hampshire Professional Photographers Association, Professional Photographers of America, and she has been awarded an Associates Designation at Wedding Portrait Professional International. “As a photographer, the Lakes Region offers such incredible opportunities to photograph its beauty in all seasons, especially sunrise and sunset,” she said.
Her favorite time is a few weeks before summer into fall when the fog rolls across the landscape in layers. “In these captured moments, I want viewers to see what I see – clarity through the fog so to speak,” she added. Shpeley also owns and operates Harbor Lane Studio & Gallery in Gilford. She has been published locally as well as internationally, while her work has appeared on the covers of multiple books. “At the Boat Museum, guests will see some of my fog work as well as framed pieces from around Lake Winnipesaukee,” she said.
“We are honored to feature Ann Marie as our last artist of the summer,” added Executive Director Martha Cummings. “She is well known in the Lakes Region and beyond for her exceptional work, and we hope guests take the opportunity to view her art in Moultonborough this month.” NHBM’s Moultonborough Campus is open Thursday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Sunday, 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., through September. Admission is free.
