Plein Air Coordinator Found - Meet Marie!

My name is Marie Nuthall and I am excited and honored to be joining the Avalon Foundation staff as the new Event Coordinator for Plein Air Easton!  I’ve spent the majority of the last 14 years working with the Mason family as their catering and event coordinator for events that ranged from small gatherings to hundreds of guests. I feel that background was the perfect segue for the Plein Air experience that lies ahead. When I’m not working hard on Plein Air, I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist providing relief from aches, pains, stress and any other form of dis-ease in my acupuncture practice in Easton.

I’ve lived and worked in Easton for 20 years and have raised 3 boys here. My husband and I live in town and can often be found walking on the trail, meandering through the Farmers Market with our dog Finn, cheering on our youngest on the soccer field or exploring local events.

You may have seen me in the background of Plein Air over the years as a volunteer. I fell in love with festival early on and have watched it blossom into an event that engages the locals as well as tantalizing our visitors.  I especially love its unique celebration of art, the outdoors, and summer life on the shore. I’m really looking forward to spending time with the Avalon Foundation staff, the artists and the many Plein Air volunteers. We have some exciting changes in store this summer, so if you haven’t already, make sure your summer vacation plans include Plein Air Easton, July 11th – 19th. See you there!
