  Amy Nash-Meunier Heart Studio. There are many mediums in which I enjoy, but my two absolute favorites are ceramics and painting.      I attended Alfred University, where I majored in ceramic arts and minored in painting and art history.  My ceramic work involves a combination of throwing and hand-building techniques, and my most recent work involves the sgraffito technique.  I have worked with a variety of different clays, including low "re earthenware, stoneware, and high "re porcelain.  I have a passion for detail, design, and composition as well as pattern, texture, and contrast.  I am inspired by nature that surrounds me in this beautiful place I call home, Southern Maryland. I reside in Lusby with my husband and three beautiful children (19, 17, 12).  I moved from Long Island, New York, to southern Maryland for a teaching job at   Leonardtown   Middle   School and, call me crazy… I have been there, teachin...

Nestled along Breton Bay, the seasonal market offered more than shopping — it invited guests to enjoy a relaxing morning outdoors, complete with picnics in the park, sweet scoops from Frog Town Ice Cream, and easy access to lunch in Leonardtown Square. “People drove through, threw the dust on their face, and then drove back through and bought nothing,” said Joyce, a longtime organizer of the Coastal Art Market, recalling the market’s first setup at the Port of Leonardtown Winery. The sun wasn’t the only thing radiating on a beautiful Saturday morning at the Coastal Art Market. There was also the warmth of local vend...
