Golden Hour Art Reception on November 9th

Of course I am very excited! Who wouldn't be? It's my first mural and I'm spreading the news! Here's the press release that went out recently. I hope that you will join us on November 9th at 5:30. This is part of the amazing Amesbury Open Studios on November 9 and 10. There will be artists all over town, in every nook and cranny, and a trolley to take you around. I'll be in my studio from 9 - 5 on Saturday at 14 Cedar St, #319B on the third floor (it's one of the trolley stops) and then I'll run over to meet you at the reception at Golden Hour Counseling. I am very grateful to Ariel and her crew for being so welcoming. The reception will be catered and there will be the unveiling of the mural! See you there and have a very Happy Halloween!

The 8.5’ x 12’ mural, located in the new community room, is a tribute to the therapeutic benefits of art, and it will make you smile. Rawson is proud to present her first mural inspired by the theme Golden Hour, and a beautiful photograph by Mark Pizza Art.

There will be a yoga class after the reception from 7 - 8 as well.

Ariel Richards, CEO, LMHC, SAC, RYT began GHC amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in efforts to bridge the gap of holistic mental health care across systems with the community in mind. GHC provides a diverse range of traditional therapy services along with various wellness initiatives designed to support mental health. GHC firmly believes that effective mental health support does not always need to begin in a clinical office setting. Instead, the company strives to create an environment that encourages exploration and healing in a way that feels right for you. GHC’s art exhibit’s mission is to collaborate with local artists in efforts to both support the community and assist clients in the discovery of their unique path to wellness.

Rawson will be showing her colorful tarot card art downstairs at Golden Hour Counseling as well during the months of November - December 2024. Having trained her hand to replicate the natural beauty around us in the past years, the beauty of her friends, and the connections that she has made in the Newburyport area, she moved to the beat of her own drummer to create. The "Constellation of Friends" paintings, and her newest tarot card art which will be on display. Made with acrylic paints, gold leaf, resin, spray paint, carved markings and more, these multimedia paintings resonate with people on an emotional level and inspire you to consider universal messages.
