Strawbery Banke Museum presents another special Seacoast exhibit in the TYCO Visitor Center lecture hall. The featured artist is Michael Winters, photographer and Portsmouth High School counselor.
Last fall, at the peak of the season in the Strawbery Banke historic gardens, Winters photographed models wearing floral fashions, flower crowns, and head-dresses, hand-crafted by Erik Wochholz, the museum's curator of historic landscapes. The designs were posed with local backdrops and some of the museums historic houses.
In addition to Strawbery Banke, project collaborators included models Sajin Murphy, Jessica Labrie and Sarah Papa; costumer Jeanne McCartin, hair stylist Chelsey Drapeau and makeup artist Laurie Hoey.
