ArtistonDuty

Marion is home to Ted Parkhurst (MHS 1966), Dr. Linda Parkhurst, and Dobby the cat, who live and work in the ArtistonDuty studio and gallery at 110 West Main Street. ArtistonDuty and Parkhurst Brothers Publishers offices both reside at this address. Ted and Linda design and publish books by and for professional storytellers, and they both enjoy making art for art’s sake. Ted specializes in whimsical drawings and acrylic paintings, often of animals doing human things, like a pig dancing a jig for example. A retired horsewoman, Linda works in oil, digital paint, and photography, depicting expressionistic horses, landscapes, and local scenery. Original paintings and fine art prints of original works are available for purchase.
