An Artful Touch Gallery
5 Main Street
Rockport, Massachusetts
May 28 through June 29
When Margret “Peggy” Chick left the healthcare profession after a long career in nursing and opened An Artful Touch Gallery in Rockport, a dream was realized.
You might say Chick had a head start in the business and is naturally suited to be a gallery owner and director. In addition to being the daughter of noted watercolorist Martin Ahearn, brother-in-law
John C. Terelak is recognized as one of our country’s finest living Impressionists.
“To start a venture like this, having two very talented artists in the family certainly helped,” Chick said. “John is represented in many galleries throughout the country. I am lucky enough to have
him right here in town. My father is 90 and is still painting. He had a gallery in Rockport for a good many years and gave it up in his retirement.”
Since opening An Artful Touch 13 years ago, Chick has represented over 200 American craftsmen in a variety of media from art glass and stylish lamps to ceramic ware and original jewelry.
