Hello! I'm Alice, (Cary Alice) I was born in Portland, Maine, and grew in at the foot hills of the White Mountains. My first home was Fryeburg, Maine, then we moved to Dover, New Hampshire. New England was my play ground, the lap of history and love. I learned many artistic endeavors, rich or poor, large or small. I was encouraged to try them all, and what fun I had. I enjoyed casting, and candle making on the sands of the Atlantic Ocean. I learned dance, and theater. I was in a group that showed off around the coast line- that was exciting. 

 Here you will see some samples of things I've done. I don't have a lot of you art works around because I gave it away or sold it.

Lake Winnipesaukee 6th largest lake in the United States and the largest lake that lies within the boundaries of New Hampshire. Surrounded by three mountain ranges, the wooded shoreline and crystal clear water of this spring-fed lake make it a popular place.

 

Many artist come to this area, plus it's on many post cards showing the beauty of the area. so I painted the scene. Monkey see Monkey do. I entered this in a art show and won 2nd. place. ( My Mother entered the painting) She was a artist, taught, judged and was proud of me. What can I say??

I received 2nd. place in a art show in New England for this one.
