Mural firm chooses New Hampshire to raise the bar in fine decorative arts.

Manchester, NH - If you thought magnificent fine art on a grand scale could only be found in European cathedrals or big art museums, then you haven't yet stumbled across New Hampshire's own Wilcox & Co. Fine Murals. Recognizing a missing traditional element in the modern mural market, Wilcox & Co. Fine Murals formed in December 2006 as a unique firm of classically trained artists who all share one vision: to produce the highest quality pictures for discerning decorative arts connoisseurs.

Many locals don't realize New Hampshire's history in the world of art. New Hampshire has been the state of choice for many great artists to locate and draw inspiration. Notable artistic figures such as Daniel Chester French, Edmond Tarbell, Augustus Saint Gaudens and Maxfield Parrish were all settled and working in the state. Many of their studios are still accessible as museums.

"It's inspiring to think that such great art has been made in our own backyard. Wilcox & Co. Fine Murals is adding to the legacy of New Hampshire's artistic tradition," said Paul Hillrigal, Regal Design International.

Many things have changed since Maxfield Parrish stopped working in the state, but New Hampshire's growing support for the arts and its relatively affordable industrial space provides a perfect location for a startup company like Wilcox & Co. Fine Murals to call home. New Hampshire is positioned just right, enabling access to the big city markets of New England and New York, without the price tag.

"We wouldn't be able to afford the time to produce pictures with the quality we do if we had to worry about the heavy overhead of being based in New York or Boston. New Hampshire is the perfect environment for us," said Eric Uhrynowski, a partner at the firm.

The Granite State's incentives for small business startups, and the support and encouragement of other local artists have provided Wilcox & Co. Fine Murals the ability to compete with the bigger and more established mural firms in the country.

The unique approach of Wilcox & Co. starts with its artist's training. Each individual who works for the firm has trained for at least four years in a school, which has been modeled after the nineteenth century French academy, also called an "Atelier." The sound classical training each artist has is the firm's most valuable asset. Wilcox & Co. has modeled themselves after the studio of Peter Paul Rubens with the philosophy that no individual artist could make such great pictures alone. It's a team effort from start to finish with nothing but quality as their master.

Wilcox & Co. Fine Murals works locally and nationally with Interior designers, Architects, and private individuals on projects both large and small. They provide free consultations for all their clients. Though Wilcox & Co. Fine Murals is a new company, they have their sights on nothing short of producing grand pictures to rival those of the great masters.

E. Tara Scurry Takes Readers On An Emotional Journey With Storm of Roses

(SILVER SPRING, MD) Summertime - There's nothing better than sitting outside by the pool, in the park, or curled up on the couch getting lost with a good read. Some of the most compelling reads today are poetry and short stories because they are quick, engaging, and enable the reader to relate on many levels. E. Tara Scurry's first book Storm of Roses (February, 2006) does just that. Best described as similar to a box of chocolates - some crunchy, some chewy, some hard to chew, but all of them delicious - Storm of Roses is a collection of raw poetry and short stories that provoke reflection on subjects and emotions most people rather keep internally.

Storm of Roses is about pleasure, life, death, spirituality, fantasies, and daydreams. Scurry believes there's a rich and irresistible freedom and permanency that comes from the written word and hopes her prose reaches deep inside the reader's soul, encouraging them to second-guess reality, challenge their current philosophies, relate and reflect the words to their own lives, and simply be entertained.

Scurry is available to discuss:
