JULIA LUNK was born in rural Hungary. After high
school, Lunk followed the call of her art and left the rural
countryside for Budapest where she studied for five years
at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts. There she began

printmaking. Her love for painting emerged during university
while participating yearly in plein air symposiums in the
countryside. Exhibited internationally since 1993, her worksare inspired by dreams, faraway places, and plantslifes little
miracles. She lives in Boulder, Colorado.

Paintings by Carol Aronson-Shore
Essays by Kimberly Alexander, Ph.D., and Mara Witzling, Ph.D.
Foreword by Robert Flynn Johnson
The Shape of ColorStrawbery Banke and Monhegan Island
Carol Aronson-Shore describes her primary subject as theway color shapes pictorial light and space, and nowhereis this more evident than in her signature landscapes and
seascapes. Continuing in the tradition of American Luminist
painters, Aronson-Shore uses color to create paintings
characterized by a glowing light that adds depth and warmth
to the experience.
Finding inspiration in her hometown of Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, Aronson-Shore uses color, light, and form to
explore the historic museum village in her Strawbery Banke
series. This series developed from her earlier paintings of
Monhegan Island, where she captured the rocky hillsides
dotted with simple structures. Her paintings depict human
shelters from a past time as well as their relationships to each
other and to the natural landscape surrounding them. The
Strawbery Banke Museum has provided the artist with a
familiar subject combining an experience of time, place,
and memory.
Carol Aronson-Shore uses her finely tuned skills as a
landscape artist to explore the built environment set against
its natural surroundings. It is through this perspective that she
artfully presents the contrast between man-made structures
and the countryside. In Aronson-Shores paintings, the
natural environment is not just a backdrop for the built
environment, as each setting is a thoughtful exploration of
the interplay between the two. As Kimberly Alexander writes,
The series offers new glimpses and original concepts to an
environment steeped in history, creating fresh perspectives
and innovative dialoguesheld in balance by color, form,
and light.
CAROL ARONSON-SHORE holds a bachelor of fine arts
degree from Boston University and a masters degree from the
University of Chicago. In 1980, she moved to New Hampshire
to join the art faculty at the University of New Hampshire,
where she is a professor emeritus of painting and drawing. Her
paintings and drawings are in numerous private, public, and
corporate collections in the United States and Europe.

Painting PortsmouthA Brush with the Past
While Portsmouth's history as a center of commerce,industry, and politics is well established, we actuallyknow surprisingly little about the city's rich history in, and
contribution to, the visual arts. This exhibition will help
reveal the depth and importance of Portsmouth as a center of
culture and inspiration over the past two hundred plus years.
Painting Portsmouth: A Brush with the Past provides a
unique opportunity to explore how several generations of
painters, from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,
envisioned this prominent seacoast city. Our goal is tointroduce visitors to an exhibition of significant Portsmouth
paintings drawn from private collections, art galleries, public
institutions, and auction houses, which have been rarely,
if ever, seen and are little known to the public or to many
within the art community.

SKIING/PHOTOGRAPHY
David IronsForeword by John Christie
Sunday RiverHonoring the Past, Embracing the Future
On December 19, 1959, Sunday River Skiway officiallyopened, mostly through the work of volunteers. Sinceopening day fifty years ago, with a T-bar and just a handful of
runs, Sunday River Skiway has grown into one of the busiest
ski resorts in New England. Ten thousand acres of private land
encompasses several peaks, and the first trails, with excellent
grooming and snowmaking, are still among the most popular:
Upper and Lower Cascades, Upper and Lower Sunday Punch,
Rocking Chair, and Crossbow. Sunday River now also includes
a unique, renowned golf course, the Sunday River Golf Club.In Sunday River, David Irons gives a firsthand account of
the history of the Sunday River Skiway. Irons was there in
the very beginning, on opening day as a skier and later as
the ski patrol director. His account includes such highlights
as the 197071 winter training for the Green Berets, the
1976 NCAA championships and the Canadian American
Intercollegiate Alpine series, the Gould Sunday River
program, and the Snowboard World Cup.
Through text, historical and contemporary photographs,
and period marketing pieces, Sunday River explores the
establishment and evolution of one of New Englands most
celebrated, time-honored, beloved recreational attractions.
Whether fondly remembered by old friends of Sunday River
Skiway, or discovered by new acquaintances to this fantastic
resort area, Sunday River completely captures the historical
and timeless value of this landmark destination.
DAVID IRONS grew up in South Paris, Maine, learning toski on a small hill behind his familys home. Irons continued
to ski wherever possible, and following the opening of Sunday
River in 1959, Irons became a regular weekend skier there.
He joined the Sunday River Ski Patrol in 1968, which he
directed from 1971 to 1982. During twenty years of patrolling,
Irons achieved certification by the National Ski Patrol and the
Professional Ski Patrol Association and served as an examiner
for both organizations until 1988, when broadcasting and
writing became his primary focus.
On its fiftieth birthday, Sunday Riverdeserves just such a handsome historicalvolume as this, and only Dave Irons, alocal boy who was there riding the T-baron opening day, could have written it.Ironss thorough research, underpinned by
firsthand experience and vivid memories,make for an entertaining and highlyinformative read, one that any fan of theRiver or Maines ski history will cherish.Congratulations to both the author andthe resort.

and apples evoked New England autumnsnow it is time
to add grapes and honey to our sense of the region, and to
experience all their flavors year-round. Thanks to advances
in hybridization, with cold tolerant grape varietals developed
at wineries and universities, winemaking is now possible even
in New Hampshires relatively chilly climate. Illustrated with
stunning color photography, and winery labels, and featuringrecipes created specifically to pair with or incorporate the
beverages described, Wine & Dine with New Hampshire delivers
the good news that New Hampshire viniculture and its sister

THOMAS AND MARIAH ROBERTS have been friends since
age twelve. Born and raised in Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
the two traveled west after college. Three years in the SierraNevada Mountains skiing, hiking, biking, and, notably,
cooking and baking prepared them for the next phase of their
adventure: their return home to the region they love. In 2001,
in a borrowed commercial kitchen, they began baking for local
farmers markets. In 2002, they opened the doors of Beach
Pea Baking Company, which instantly became a mainstay of
the Seacoast. In 2003, they married. Together they live their
commitments to health, to community, to sustainability, and,
of course, to baking.

Visions in GraniteVolume II
Long before they were conqueredif, indeed, theyhave beenthe White Mountains of New Hampshireimprinted themselves in the minds eye of all who saw them.
They held a sacred place in the spirituality of local tribes,
who treated with particular respect that inhospitable peak
we know as Mount Washington, with its fearsome winds and
sudden storms. In early colonial times, only the adventurous
would approach, but later, trailblazers and enterprisingsettlers opened the mountain region to travelers, whose
numbers multiplied with the circulation of paintings and
engravings capturing the pristine and rugged beauty of the
area. This second volume in the Visions in Granite series
offers a glimpsethrough the immediacy of expertly rendered
landscapesof the White Mountains and of the regions lakes,
notches, and ledges as they were first encountered. And it
shows us those same places through the eyes of contemporary
painters, providing reassurance that some of the states most
notable features still possess the power to awe and inspire.ALSO AVAILABLE

Two Lives: One PassionThe Life and Work of William Jurian
Kaula and Lee Lufkin Kaula
We begin our examination of the life and work of artistWilliam Jurian Kaula and his wife and fellow painter,Lee Lufkin, when they meet in Europe during Academic
study in the 1890s. In the first half of the twentieth century,
they married, lived, and worked in the vibrant atmosphere
of the city of Boston. Over the next forty years the couple
traveled, collected antiques, cultivated elaborate terraced
gardens in New Hampshire, and most importantly painted
together sharing a kinesthetic relationship based in their
mutual respect for one another and a shared love of art. What
is truly remarkable is that their lives reflect the context of
typical American conventions of culture and society. What
is special about this couple was their ability to conduct their
lives with a deep affection for one another while encouraging
their respective artistic talents. Both artists specialized in
their craft and subject but were united in their quest to
commit themselves to their work. Through text, paintings,
photographs, sketches, and journal entries, this book exploresthe veracity of the lives of two prolific painters who shared an
appreciation for the world as exhibited in their works of art.

CARL AUSTIN HYATT is a 1996 MacDowell Colony
Fellow, and is represented in collections across the United
States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Hyatt is known for his
exacting attention to detail and technique, which began in
his twenties. The luminous tones of Hyatt prints have become
another key signature of his work.
Introduction by Russell LordEssay by Tom Crockett
Carl Austin HyattPhotography
When one views the photographs of Carl Austin Hyattwhether a sensual nude or a luminous seascapeoneis first struck by the impeccable and beautiful surfaces. The
photographs evoke a palpable sense of desire. Hyatt knows
desire and his images tingle with it. Linger a moment and
allow yourself to be drawn deeper, past the surfaces and into
an inner space. The foamy rush of ocean, the languid sigh of
the model, the preternatural stillness of the standing stones,
or the whisper of the salt piles becomes real sound againstthe inner ear. In Sunday River, David Irons gives a firsthand
account of the history of the Sunday River Skiway. Irons was
there in the very beginning, on opening day as a skier and
later as the ski patrol director. His account includes such
highlights as the 197071 winter training for the Green
Berets, the 1976 NCAA championships and the Canadian
American Intercollegiate Alpine series, the Gould Sunday
River program, and the Snowboard World Cup.
Hyatts commitment to find, and transmit, this depth of
connectionto the soul of a stone, to a landscape, or to a
personis the mark of his work. His photographs reflect theconscious awareness of the miraculous that emanates from
all of creation. No matter how modest the landscape, or
how muted the subject, Hyatt manages to draw from it the
numinous. The best of Hyatts images invite us to see, see into,
and see through. This is no trick or projection. This work
has that Zen-like reverence for space and emptiness that in
Japanese tradition invites the Kami or spirits to be present.
The combination of master craftsmanship and
uncompromising artistic vision are revealed through a twenty-
year period and a selection from this period is published for
the first time in this edition.
