Title: Manchester Arts Festival Featured Artists Profile Deborah Citron Stevens and Phil Stevens
Location: Downtown Manchester-by-the-Sea
Description: Manchester Arts Festival Featured Artist Profile
Deborah Citron Stevens and Phil Stevens.
A self-declared artist since the age of eight and later formally trained at the Brooklyn Museum with Isaac Soyer, Deborah Citron Stevens works out of her private studio in Essex, dividing her creative energies among the media she loves — printmaking, pastels, painting and sculpture. She finds her artistic inspiration in bold shapes of color like shadows that drape across the road at dusk or striking color combinations such as coral against a blue sky. Her strong drawing skills and color-sense impart visual drama to all her work.
Together with her husband Phil, long-time Production Manager at the Cricket, Deborah crafts funky garden sculptures from old automobile parts culled this year from an English Sunbeam. The pieces of rusted metal and found objects are transformed with animation and humor into unique set pieces for your lawn, garden and home.
Please visit the Essex couple at this year’s festival on Saturday, July 25th (rain date July 26th) in downtown Manchester and pick-up one of their lively creations. Admission: FREE

Haverhill – May 2009 - The Soles of Haverhill Shoe-la-bration is happy to announce that Pentucket Bank will be sponsoring one of the shoes on display. Pentucket Bank has proudly selected Haverhill’s beloved Winnekenni Castle and Park Conservation Area as the non-profit which will benefit from the sale of the shoe. Pentucket Bank is known for its longstanding commitment to Haverhull and to local non-profit organizations. So when Pentucket Bank CEO, Kendall Smith and the Bank’s President, Scott Cote, learned about the Soles of Haverhill Show-la-bration, they were among the first to step-up and join the exciting initiative.
Scott Cote stated that Pentucket Bank is proud to support Team Haverhill’s Soles of Haverhill Shoe-la-bration event and is pleased to choose the Winnikenni Foundation as their non-proft partner. This initiative is another great way to generate interest and excitement about the City of Haverhill and its rich history. Pentucket Bank believes strongly in promoting the history of Haverhill and the Winnikenni Catle and Park are great symbols that represent Haverhill’s history. The Winnikenni Castle demonstrates how well historic landmarks can be preserved and utilized to support the cultural and recreational needs of a divers community over many generations.
The Bank has been working with local artist Liz Persing who has developed a very creative design for our shoe. Liz’s design captures both the history of the Winnikenni Castle and incorporates it with the importance of the area known as Pentucket by the Passaconoway Indians or “The Land of the Winding River”.
For those who haven’t heard about this great public art display, the “Soles of Haverhill” launches in 2009 and is anticipated to become a regular event in the city’s cultural life.
