Merry Christmas from the Bosbyshells


Dear Friends:

In 2022 we had loads of fun with family and friends! Below, we are celebrating the birthday of Wil’s sister, Fran, in Treasure Island.

In Maura’s first year as a full-time artist, she 
launched Bosbyshell Art+Home, a home décor version of Bosbyshell Art Studio. She’s using her textile skills to design bedding, table runners, pillows, and wall art, and has been awarded grants from the Arts & Science Council and Charlotte is Creative. Maura and Wil collaborated on a set of pillows featuring Wil’s Alaska Midnight Sun paintings.

Wil continued his Climate Conversations series of tree drawings. He participated in the return of Earth Day, with a new installation element called the Memory Tree. After Wil’s 18-month studio residency at the McColl Center, he moved into the Charlotte Art League, where Maura also has a studio. The Art League is open the 2nd Friday of each month. Wil still enjoys teaching graphic design at a community college.

Together in 2023, we will be artists-in-residence at the historic Sautee Inn in the north Georgia mountains. Throughout the year, Wil is releasing a Seasons of the Stag print at the Sautee Inn. Maura is creating custom bedding and décor for the Inn’s themed rooms, and a few items are available for purchase.

Allen is moving to Atlanta after four years in Chicago. We loved visiting him in Chi-town, but we love Atlanta as well. He’s 26 and is energetic, driven, and thoughtful, and he pursues varied skills and interests. Best of all he’ll be closer to us in 2023!

We wish you and your family a safe if not slightly dull 2023! The last three years have been way too exciting for us; peace and calm would be a wonderful change for the coming year.

Your Friends, Wil, Maura and Allen
