From Quidley & Company in Nantucket to Ray Crane in Rockport, Massachusetts, to the Copley Society of Art in Boston, our yearly Marine issue always brings out the best in this hotly collected market. Our July issue features our special guide to collecting fine art in Cape…

Like many artists, she finds herself split between doing what she needs to survive and what she feels like she needs to be doing in life. Leading…
