When in Portsmouth, a visit to the Gorvett Gallery on Market Street is an absolute must. Don Gorvett is famous for his maritime color reduction woodcuts featuring coastal New England. I caught Don at Ogunquit's Heritage Museum where he described viewing his work as "more than one of confirmation but one of experience of discovery." For me, it is both, and I delight in the color, movement, physical energy, and craftsmanship of "Dune Estuary" as do my guests, as it now hangs in my dining-room. Thank you Don!

I can’t rave enough about Don as a human and also as an artist. We have admired his work forever and finally bought an absolute beauty a few years ago. Anyone who comes to our home notices and appreciates it. Last weekend my mother and 9 year old daughter wandered into his studio to admire his works. Don noticed them and engaged my shy daughter. He let her pick a small print and signed it to her. She was BEYOND excited, telling us she got her first “masterpiece”! Thank you, Don - for the beauty and the kindness.

I wish I could invite you into my living-room. For years I've enjoyed viewing the woodcuts of Don Gorvett in galleries and museums from Massachusetts to Maine. Finally I have become a proud owner! Words cannot describe how pleased I am with this acquisition. After considering several options presented to me by Gorvett himself, I chose a view of Perkins Cove, Ogunquit that is at once familiar and imaginative. Visit Gorvett's Portsmouth studio and he will provide you with the variety and attention you need to find just the right print for your collection.

The artist, Don Gorvett, was present when we visited the shop. He was friendly & approachable. He talked to us about his technique & showed us the different phases of his drawings, woodcuts, paintings & etching. The process is time consuming & leaves little to no room for error. It's all very impressive. I wish I could splurge on one of his pieces, they're quite pricy. His shop is cramped but charming with loads of visual interest.
