• 1. INSPIRATION.
     "Newlands" series are my response to living in New England and loving it with a rapid pulse and full heart. 
     Through watercolor, I explore wetlands, rivers, mudflats, marshes, and most importantly — the Mother Ocean. 
     Here, I am documenting both, the sea, land, and watercolor itself.⠀
     All this while writing nonsense like "in the mids of cataract—a virgin sight". That's about a dark cloud, you know. I'm not even sure if it makes any sense in English.
     
     But, daily, either in pictures or watercolors, I see a shape worth acknowledging. The curve of the ocean, lace of the wave, the sun that winks. And I get blinded, like a happy dog looking at rays on a cold New England afternoon.
     
     
  2. There are never any man-made objects in my art. It was an intuitive choice and became intentional. No boats, no street lights, no face.⠀ 
     What I'm after is the solitude of Nature.
     Nature like a big archaic archetypal Ancestor.⠀
     Like an ever-present Absolute Great Mother.⠀
     Wide, quiet, and heavy with importance and potency.
     
     
     And while painting, I write nonsense poems.
     "I hope that heaven is
     Summer in Maine
     And angel wings are waves
     Swooshing my sins
     Away away."
     — Marta

     Nahcotta Gallery opened its doors in the bucolic, bustling city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire in May of 2000. Deb Thompson, the gallery's owner, wanted to create a space like Nahcotta since she was a young girl, standing amid a small but beautiful boutique during a shopping venture with her family. During an adventuresome cross-country trip many years later, she made the bold decision to relocate from Boston, Massachusetts, and open a gallery/boutique in Portsmouth, a city renowned for its rich cultural history, captivating waterfront views, and vibrant, progressive community.
     
     Through the years, Nahcotta has become a mainstay in the Portsmouth community and beyond, providing a space for original, contemporary art from artists all over the world, alongside modern, innovative, well-designed gifts, available both in the Congress Street shop and online.
