A note from the artist, Isabel Natti

Growing up in Lanesville, Gloucester, Massachusetts as a child of a Finnish father and a New York City summer-boarder mother these people were neighbors, family, and their dear friends. Needless to say, there were many important members of the community who were not writers, nor subjects of biography.
