Mia Bergeron, Dale Crawford, Tom Root, Caroline D'Andrea and other American portrait artists will exhibit at Shuptrine Fine Art & Framing, beginning Thursday.

According to Bonny Shuptrine, vice-president of the gallery, these artists represent several different styles and mediums of portraiture. They offer wonderful options for those interested in portrait commissions.

On March 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Ms. Bergeron will lead a workshop on painting portraits from life. The fee is $150 and the workshop will be held at the gallery, 2646 Broad St.
