Farmstead Prints

Annette Novoa, a local watercolor artist and member of the Friends of the Kennedy-Martin-Stelle Farmstead, has arranged to sell limited edition prints of three different paintings done at the Farmstead. Novoa proposed the print sale as the perfect way to highlight the connection between art and the bucolic farmstead setting. "It's a wonderful opportunity for those who would like a way to support the efforts of the friends of the Farmstead while also purchasing a beautiful limited edition print."

Each print is signed and numbered by the artist, and is being offered at $95. Samples of the prints are exhibited at the Brick Academy,
