A Small City by the Sea

Portsmouth is New Hampshire's only city on her short Atlantic coastline, and a study in contrasts. Compact, but urban in feel. East Coast old but vibrantly renewing itself. Small enough to explore in a weekend, and a fascinating place to live, work, and play. Walk along with the artist, a New Hampshire native, as she sketches whatever stops her feet and tugs at her heart.

Sue Anne Bottomley is a New Hampshire native. Raised in NH and Massachusetts, and an art major at the University of New Hampshire, she left the area after her college graduation to live in Washington state, Maryland, and England. After many years away from home, she returned to live in New London, NH. Her first book is Colorful Journey: An Artist's Adventure Drawing Every Town in New Hampshire. Pep Talks for the Would-Be, Should-Be Artist is her second book.
