Artwork by Travis Simpkins on Display at the Salisbury Mansion - Worcester Historical Museum. Through January, 2016

Salisbury Mansion. Home for the Holidays. Worcester, MA. Art by Travis Simpkins

It's not quite Christmas time yet, but the formal Drawing Rooms of the Salisbury Mansion are decked out in Holiday decor for a photoshoot feature in the Winter issue of Worcester Living Magazine. The portrait sketches I made of three generations of the Salisbury Family are prominently placed on the mantels in both rooms. I'm honored to have my work displayed alongside paintings by Gilbert Stuart (one of my artistic heroes) and 18th Century antique furnishings inside the circa 1772 Historic House Museum. Harry Albert, Special Projects Manager for the Worcester Historical Museum, did a wonderful job of putting everything together.

The Salisbury Mansion is located at 40 Highland Street in Worcester, MA. (508) 753-8278. It is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 1-4pm. Special candlelight evening tours will be offered in December.
