Artist of the Month: Debra Kennedy
August 2026
Debra Kennedy, an award-winning Cape Cod Artist, has made painting a lifelong pursuit. She is best known for her vibrant New England landscapes.
From the Artist:
I am fortunate to live on Cape Cod, a place of amazing beauty and light year-round, surrounded by dunes, forests, beaches and history. Over the course of a lifetime of painting, I find that I am most drawn to the places, spaces and things that evoke a sense of joy or adventure.
Debra’s art will be on display in the front lobby for the month of August, with select pieces available for purchase. A portion of sales benefit the library.
