Hair of the Dog

Maggie MacLellan was recently part of MSPCA's Hair of the Dog Wine Tasting & Art Show.

This was an evening of wine, beer, tasty tidbits, and artwork from dozens of local artists, all to benefit the homeless animals of the MSPCA at Nevins Farm! Sponsored by Shawsheen Village Liquors of Andover, Whole Foods Market of Andover, and the Essex Art Center in Lawrence.

Maggie exhibited some of her animal sculptures and sold her beagle sculpture. Congrats to Maggie.
