Remember those tempting candy boxes filled with an assortment of assorted treats, or the embroidered heirloom that your great grandmother stitched... or a carefully assembled shadow box of collected treasures? Following in the footsteps of The Tender Artspace, Concord/Boston-based artist and curators Kathleen O’Hara of Drive-by Projects and OH Projects, and Meaghan Elyse are collaborating to bring innovative art to West Concord through the window of SAMPLER.
Kathleen J. O’Hara is a contemporary visual artist, independent curator, and co-director of Drive-by Projects in Watertown, Massachusetts. As a multi-media artist, she creates installations that originate on the wall and gradually extend into the exhibition space, consistently engaging with history through explorations of time and memory.

Meaghan Elyse is an interdisciplinary artist working with design, biophilic sculpture, painting and performance. Her work explores the boundaries of our bodies, of home, of our surrounding ecologies, and the porousness of these edges. Along with collaborators, she is interested in creating spaces for interaction, for rest, for dreaming, for mourning, for healing.
