Jeanne Brouillette is a self-taught artist, currently working in watercolors. Her professional career as an educator has led her to teaching watercolor painting at the Marshfield Senior Center, where she enjoys nurturing her student’s creative journey.

Fred Dolan loves painting more than anything, except for his wife Joan. He has been painting for over 80 years. One of his favorite things is to help people get started painting. So many say "I can't even draw a straight line," but he says "You can paint — anybody can." After they get started he says, "See, I told you!"
