Richard G. Packer was the owner of a well patronized, seasonal
art gallery in the center of the Mt. Washington Valley in North
Conway, New Hampshire. Packer received his Bachelor of Arts
degree from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1938, and
taught many students at his studio in Marblehead, Massachusetts.
His New England sea and landscapes hang in every state in
the union. Every winter Packer traveled extensively throughout
Europe and the United States in order to see and record the pulse
of life. Each summer the gallery was then full of newly painted
works with a variety of subject matter. Packer opened his New
Hampshire gallery in 1953 and remained active until his death
in 1998.
