Located on a 95 acre island seven miles off the coast of New Hampshire, the Shoals Marine Laboratory is jointly operated by UNH and Cornell University. Every summer, UNH and Cornell students come to SML for two weeks to take Underwater Research, perhaps the only class to take place 30 feet deep in the Atlantic Ocean. Produced by UNH Video Productions. Special thanks to Elizabeth Calvert Siddon ’00 for getting the underwater footage with our Go Pro Camera.

The paintings feature the Isles of Shoals!

From the artist:

Painted largely on location, Volpe’s paintings capture the brilliance and desolation of the Shoals’ stark, light-drenched coasts and weathered landmarks with minimalistic design, characteristic color, and expressive brush and knife work.

Opening reception for the show is scheduled for Friday, August 3, from 5-8 p.m.
