Adele V. Sanborn
SHOW JUROR, 2024, Calligraphy & Mixed Media Artist, Owner of TWIGGS Gallery
Born and raised in Long Island, New York, Adele Sanborn received a BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology and moved to Boscawen, NH in the early ‘70s. She and her husband dairy farmed together until 1984 when Adele started the Concord, New Hampshire graphic design firm of Cornerstone Design. In 1990 she opened the retail store, Caardvark in downtown Concord, NH. Then in 2005 she traded in some of her retail talents to spend her time pursuing her calligraphy and papermaking full time at her studio, The Paint Box, in Webster, NH. Needing a larger and more visible location, Adele moved her business in 2015 to TWIGGS Gallery in Boscawen, NH, where she has a new expanded studio and work space as well as a retail area selling her work as well as other artists and uniquities from antique collections and other unusual sources. Adele is a a member of the NH Art Association and League of NH Craftsmen.
