John Marshall, Beauport Gloucester Harbor, Oil

John Marshall at the Beauport Hotel

OCTOBER 15 – NOVEMBER 14, 2026

John Marshall is a self-taught artist and painter based in Danvers, MA and a proud father of two wonderful daughters. His work draws inspiration from the rich legacy of Cape Ann School artists and the Boston Guild, whose styles and techniques have profoundly influenced him. He began his journey as a painter 12 years ago, and is a Juried Member of the North Shore Arts Association.

For John, painting is about embracing life, dedication and joy. Passion and energy drive everything he pursues, shaping each piece he creates. His work reflects his experiences surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding throughout New England, capturing the region’s natural beauty.

He strives for his paintings to transcend time, unbound by any single category or style. Each piece reflects his personal memories and vision, infused with his own experiences. For him, art is a celebration of all the senses- an expression of imagination, creativity, and a genuine freedom from critique.

Visit John’s solo exhibition at the Beauport Hotel from October 15 to November 14, located at 55 Commercial St, Gloucester, MA, in the entrance lobby.

Alex Stroup at Source Bakery

OCTOBER 1 – DECEMBER 3, 2026

Source Bakery and the North Shore Arts Association work together creating opportunities for local artists to have solo shows at Source Bakery throughout the year.

Alex Stroup is from the bucolic mountains of PA, but lives and paints here, mindfully underwater, in Gloucester for the past ~10~years. Stroup has a BA in painting from Gordon College and spent a semester in Italy with Gordon’s Orvieto Program. From Spring 2023, Stroup spent a year “teaching” English in Japan and effectively reaffirmed her decision to be a painter. Stroup’s work has been exhibited in Rocky Neck Cultural Center’s: Intelligence of Touch, 2025, A World Awry, 2022, 40 Under 40, 2021, North Shore Arts Association’s Associates Show, 2024, as well as COSMOS Gallery’s Drawn to Paint show, 2026.

Alex Stroup…. Prefers to show rather than tell, however, Stroup’s process is easily simplified. With the help of TIME, Alex listens and waits for imagery to bubble up out of experience. Often there are specific doodles or sketches that continue to take up space in the mind, that ask to be exterior. From these inklings, blossom full paintings.

Visit Alex’s solo exhibition at the Source Bakery from October 1 to December 3.
