Community Art Gallery

New paintings by R. Scott Hyde

Where A Trail Leads, will be on view in the Peterborough Town Library’s Community Art Gallery from Friday, June 2nd until Saturday, July 29th.

The opening reception will be held on First Friday, June 2nd, 2023 from 5-7pm.

Additionally, Hyde will be offering an Artist Talk, in conversation with musician and composer Tom Martin, on Saturday, June 24th from 2-3pm to discuss how his surroundings inspire him and his creative process.

With his first shows taking place in 1987 and ‘88 Hyde reflects “It has been a long journey since those early shows as my artwork privately evolved as I raised a family. What has remained constant in my journey and artwork is how painting and drawing brings an awareness and perspective to my surroundings”.

About the artist:
R. Scott Hyde received his BA in Studio Art at Bates College in 1982 and his MFA in Painting from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College in 1985. Hyde currently resides in Peterborough and has worked as an art educator, builder, and artist for the past 30 plus years in New Hampshire.
