Hancock’s Bill and Eileen Elliott have devoted much of the last 40 years to cultivating a spectacular home garden. This past year, it inspired two local artists to create throughout the pandemic, and an upcoming library fundraiser features both the garden and the artwork it inspired.
“Bloom with a View” is a garden tour and art exhibit featuring the Elliott’s Mayplace Gardens, and the artwork they inspired. Local artists Kim Cunningham and Evelien Bachrach spent lots of time over the past year sketching in the gardens, and they and the Elliotts, who are frequent library patrons, came up with the idea for the event after a fruitful year of creative collaborations, Hancock Town Library Director Amy Markus said.
