SUMMER ARTISTRY IN THE HOME GALLERY
FEATURES PHOTOGRAPHS BY NUBBLE LIGHTHOUSE
KEEPER MATT ROSENBERG
May 6, 2015 – Portsmouth, NH — The public is invited to view the installation of work
by photographer Matt Rosenberg, Lighthouse Keeper for the Nubble Light, on display at
the Mark Wentworth Home’s Artistry in the Home exhibit. The exhibit opens with a
reception from 4pm to 6pm on June 6th. Please call 603-436-0169 for more information
or to RSVP.
Rosenberg’s photographs are rarely taken on a sunny day. Instead, he looks at the small
flowers, a foggy day, a broken shed door and other unexpected scenes for inspiration.
His position as Lighthouse keeper provides access to the island and it’s buildings. Sohier
Park and the Nubble Light represent a point of constant interaction between the elements.
The surrounding wildlife, history and humanity present scenes which beg to be
photographed. Rosenberg takes pictures because he can’t bring the people the Light, so
he brings the Light to the people. The place is too special not to be shared. Rosenberg’s
work was featured on Yankee Magazine online last July and he was the subject of a
documentary and article for Down East Magazine’s September issue in 2014.
The artist will be available for a meet and greet during the opening reception on June 6th
and most works included in the exhibition are available for purchase. The Exhibit will
run from June through mid-August. Viewing hours are between 9am and 4pm at the
Mark Wentworth Home, 346 Pleasant Street, Portsmouth, NH.
The Mark Wentworth Home is a senior living community in operation since 1911 in the heart of
Portsmouth’s historic south neighborhood. The Home’s vision is as an active participant in a
community dedicated to ensuring our seniors are fully engaged in living better lives, longer. Visit
