New Ipswich Artist

Matt Patterson

New Ipswich Library

Matt grew up in New Ipswich. His father was a biology teacher and early on he was exposed to all types of animals. As far back as he can remember he has always had the same two interests, wildlife and art. He loves the outdoors and in his free time he was either out fishing, searching for turtles and snakes, or he was painting. Today things haven’t changed much. He is a professional artist and his work reflects his love for nature.

Matt has completed a variety of work ranging from scientific and book illustration to trompe l’oeil murals and wood carving. In 2010, his book titled Freshwater Fish of the Northeast won the National Outdoor Book Awards Design and Artistic Merit category.

His book on Reptiles and Amphibians, titled The Snake and the Salamander Reptiles and Amphibians from Maine to Virginia, was just released.

This program is sponsored by the Stearns-Burton Lecture Committee.

Although the event is free, a donation to St. Vincent dePaul’s Food Pantry in Greenville is always welcome.

Children’s Summer Program: Dan’s Balloons & Kona Ice

Summer is here!

Head down to the New Ipswich Library for some live entertainment. Our Children’s Summer Program for 2017 is

Dan’s Balloons Live!

Tuesday, August 15th, 1:30pm

New Ipswich Library

Dan‘s Balloons Live! is a 45 minute adventure meandering through balloons, magic, imagination, and silliness.  It’s a very interactive show that involves anywhere from 10-15 kids from the audience.  It even has a moving, talking balloon robot! This year, Dan has some really great tricks to go along with the build-a-better-world theme.

Dan Staples is an award-winning balloon artist and entertainer based out of Nashua, NH.  Dan has been a balloon artist for 3 years, twisting at corporate events, birthday parties, baby showers, and holiday events.  Dan’s Balloons was created as a place to share fun artwork with people who need a smile.

This event is free, but a donation for the St. Vincent-DePaul Food Pantry in Greenville is always appreciated.

At the end of the show, the Kona Ice truck from Kona Ice of NH will be parked outside the Library. Bring some money to enjoy a cold treat and you can help support the Library – if Kona Ice makes enough in sales, they will donate part of their profits to the Library!
