We are delighted to welcome featured artist Nicole Emmons. Nicole is a Northeast Connecticut–based artist whose work lives at the intersection of movement, psychology, and presence. Her latest collection, Land Bound, explores the delicate balance between darkness and light—inviting viewers into immersive worlds designed to be felt as much as seen. Each piece acts as a quiet portal, encouraging stillness, reflection, and a gentle unraveling of the nervous system. Through layered textures and fluid compositions, Nicole creates spaces where the mind can soften and the body can recalibrate—offering a sense of calm, balance, and return.

Wearing many hats as a gymnastics coach, yoga teacher, and teacher of yoga teachers, Nicole’s artistic voice is deeply informed by her lived experience in the body. As a nervous system regulation practitioner with academic foundations in psychology, mental health, and child development, her work bridges science and sensation—translating internal states into visual form.

Rooted in movement and guided by awareness, Nicole’s creations embody flow, inviting viewers to lose themselves, let go, just be and breathe and in doing so, find a deeper sense of equilibrium.

Come discover her work at the bookstore during May’s First Friday Art Crawl - Friday, May 1st from 5-8PM. We look forward to seeing you!

At 47 High Street, see the works of Nancy Mygatt! Nancy Faxon Mygatt, of studioFAXON & Mygatt Design, owner, is not only an award winning fine artist, but has also won several awards for her graphic design. All work is available for purchase, commissions upon request.

studioFAXON creates assemblages of still life objects that became colored pencil drawings that eventually morphed into wearable art and sculpture. I take pride in creating work that provokes innovative thinking and inspires self-expression that can bring energy and excitement when the viewers find their own personal connection.

At Studio 209, artists Alexis Ansay & Jessie LaValley find inspiration from items that are on their way to the landfill or have already been littered in our community. Giving new life to what is traditionally viewed as waste allows them to stay resourceful in their craft while inspiring others to do the same!

Jessie of Kelping Hands creates upcycled wall art, accessories, home decor, & plants while Alexis focuses on paintings, block printing, mixed media collages, recycled sculpture, and graphite drawings.
