The Gallery will remain open during Town Hall normal business hours Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Art featured by Katherine L. Peterson and Steve D'Amato. Katherine is an artist specializing in illustration and portraiture. She studied at Corcoran School of Art, the National Portrait Gallery and holds a Bachelors in Fine Art from Maryland Institute College of Art. Steve has been painting for about 45 years. Many painting techniques were learned from an art teacher in a small group setting many years ago. More recently, I have been broadening my skills at The Stone Branch School of Art in Rockville, Maryland during the winter months.
