Artists 👩‍🎨 Susan Fehlinger, Anda Styler and Corinne Lapin Cohen will be exhibiting their amazing work capturing the many moods, messages and magical moments of nature. The opening reception is Thursday, April 11, 5:30-7:30pm.

Corinne Lapin-Cohen lives and works in Katonah, New York, where she teaches drawing and painting at Stone House Studio. She graduated Russell Sage College with a degree in art history, and did her graduate work in environmental preservation. Corinne was the founder of the botanical art program at The Lasdon Arboretum, taught botanical watercolor and drawing at The New York Botanical Gardens, Northern Westchester Center for the Arts, was an adjunct professor at Lehman College and at the Katonah Museum of Art. She was part of the panel discussion “Artists Talking on Art” with the Smithsonian Institution, and appears as a guest lecturer for various groups speaking on botanical or abstract art.

Her artwork is exhibited in museums, universities, art galleries, corporate headquarters, botanical gardens, arboretums, hospitals and environmental centers throughout the country. She is included in the permanent collection of the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation at Carnegie Mellon University, Ameriprise, and Merrill Lynch. Her work is acquired by collectors and has been published in books and periodicals.

Corinne states, “I have painted traditional botanical watercolors for 25 years. My intention is to merge art and science – scientific awareness with the hand and eye of the artist.i. The  importance of plants in our life is critical to our survival. My focus extends to the broader environmental impact upon bees, water, soil, and air quality. Currently I am creating large abstract oil and mixed media works on canvas. Although my work has evolved into a more abstract genre, humanity and the environment remain my focus. There is a balance between pure abstraction and identifiable subject matter. The ambiguity of meaning allows the paintings to have multiple layers of interpretation.”

Susan Fehlinger is a self-taught oil painter. She has exhibited widely in the area and she teaches at the Rowayton Art Center.

She says, “I had yearned to paint throughout my 35 year career as a television producer in New York city. So in 2003 I quit my job, bought a Bed and Breakfast and moved to Cape Cod. I wanted to explore my right brain after years of favoring the left.  I discovered the palette knife that year and found that I could apply paint on a canvas quickly, thickly, and spontaneously. I loved the textures I could produce with the knife and I loved no brushes to wash. I began painting the coastal landscapes and cottages around me. I pushed the contrast of the Cape light, played with composition, scale, placement and negative/positive spaces. Hopper is my hero.

I want to create a strong sense of place, a familiar but somewhat abstracted place— that  calm place that we long for in these unsettling times—and then to capture it when the light is just right.”

Anda Styler graduated from Parsons School of Design in 1983 with a BA in fine arts. She had her first show that same year and from there went on to many shows and gallery representation, group and solo with great success. She has also been published in several North Light books, Art in America Magazine,The Artists magazine, winning competitions in acrylic painting, and the NY Times, where twice her work was featured for upcoming exhibitions.

Over the years, she has had representation in fine art galleries in many different states. In Santa Fe NM, she fell in love with the landscape there and leaned to paint it with passion.

Anda says, “My passion is painting and I love creating composition, color harmony, color balance, contrast – light and shadow  –  all around me in the ever changing landscape. There is a lot of understanding that goes into my painting -observing the sky and the wind patterns – how the time of day & time of year effect the landscape – light and shadow – and the buildings that capture the contrast. I invite the viewer into the painting – invited to be in the creation for just a moment….”

In Spring 2024 the Carriage Barn Arts Center will present “Photographs by Edward Keating,” the first retrospective exhibition highlighting the late Pulitzer-prize winning photographer’s 40-year career, as well as his connection to New Canaan, CT.  The exhibition will run from April 6-28, 2024 at the Carriage Barn Arts Center gallery in New Canaan’s Waveny Park.

Curated by members of the photographer’s family, the exhibition will feature 100 photographs and additional archival materials that offer insight into Keating’s career and life as a photographer.  Spanning decades of his work, the exhibition will be presented in sections that highlight common themes of his work. Some of the show will include fiber and ink-jet prints created by Edward Keating.

Born in 1956 and raised in New Canaan, CT, Edward Keating lived and worked as a photographer in New York City since 1981. Like previous generations of street photographers, he taught himself how to photograph by chronicling street life of everyday New Yorkers. Ten years later he was hired as a Staff Photographer at The New York Times where he covered national and international news and was a regular contributor to the Sunday New York Times Magazine. In addition, he co-founded “Vows,” The New York Times wedding column. In 2002, Keating won the Pulitzer Prize for his coverage on the attacks of 9/11. He additionally shared the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting with New York Times staff for the series, “How Race is Lived in America,” 

He was also a regular contributor to Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, “W” Magazine and New York Magazine.  His 20 year project on Route 66 was published by Damiani in 2018, Mean Street, The Lost Dream of Route 66. 

Keating’s work is in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York City and The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida. A graduate of New Canaan High School class of 1974, Keating served for many years as an active board member of  the school’s Fritz Eager Foundation for Art Education. 

Keating died of cancer in Sept 2021, contracted as a result of his long exposure to toxic materials at Ground Zero in the days after 9/11.

“Eddie was a passionate and smart photographer, endlessly studying the art and history of photography, early on imitating his mentors such as Robert Frank (who he became very close to.) Throughout his career, it became apparent other shooters tried to copy Eddie’s very distinct style. When face to face with his subject, he clicked the shutter, ruled by his heart, not his head. At the start of his career,  fearful of shooting on the streets, he was fearless in the end.”

  – Carrie Boretz Keating

The return of the Wilton Art Council’s annual photography exhibit for photographers in three divisions: Adult, High School, and Youth (through 8th grade). The judged exhibition features the works of amateur and professional photographers in a range of styles and subject matter. Reception and awards presentation free and open to the public. Exhibition runs through April 26. A majority of the works will be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Wilton Library. For more information, visit www.wiltonarts.org. 

Metro's first Open Studios of 2024 will be held on March 24th from 12-4pm. Stop by and see what the artists have been creating. The opening reception of "Object Memory" will take place in the Crown Gallery. This is a free event for all.

The collection of images on display for this show were created on a one-week journey through this spectacular landscape known as the Palouse. Located in Southeastern Washington and Northern Idaho, this area consists of a seemingly endless number of sediment mounds formed over millions of years by wind erosion. Once a place where Native Americans lived, then it evolved into grasslands and at the turn of the nineteenth century became tremendously fertile farmland for growing wheat, legumes and canola.

The hills with their tones of greens, browns and yellows, dotted with barns and homesteads, are an almost surreal place of beauty. As the soft evening light settles on the hills a mystical world of color, shadow and shape is created. Whether standing on a butte some thousand feet above or wandering on the gravel roads that traverse this landscape, the beauty of this hidden gem in our great country overwhelms the senses.

I was fortunate to be here to capture some of this serene scenery and invite you to the opening of this exhibit on Friday, March 22nd, from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Greens Farms Congregational Church, 71 Hillandale Road, Westport. The exhibit will run through April 26th

“In Pursuit of Joy”

Photography, Drawings & Paintings by Lynda James Carroll

February 28th, 2024 – April 22nd, 2024

Artists’ reception March 14th 5:30 - 7:30 PM

Stamford Government Center 888 Washington Blvd, Stamford, CT

Covered on-site parking handicap accessible

The Stamford Mayor’s Gallery presents “In Pursuit of Joy”, Photography, Drawings & Paintings by Lynda James Carroll at the Mayor’s Gallery of Stamford. The exhibition runs from February 28th, 2024 thru April 22nd, 2024.

The artists' reception is scheduled for March 14th, from 5:30-7:30 PM where the public is invited to meet the artists.

Artist Lynda James Carroll has found inspirations in the divisions across our nation and create alternative visual solutions. She’s created photographic images where the observer can perceive the same situation with the same stimuli in multiple ways that is ironically similar to our current political climate. These photographic puzzles, which are being exhibited as a group for the first time ever, are formally known as bistable images. The question and amusement with each of the visual puzzles is to ask “How was it created?” and “What is the truth?”. Each image is a single shot without Photoshop manipulation.

Ms. Carroll will also be displaying a striking collection of oil paintings depicting the beauty of the nature world.

“It has felt like a very dark chapter, politically and socially of late and in my exhaustion about it all, I needed to look for those glimmers of joy that give us all hope and focus on what is more positive. Looking around there are many of those expandable slivers.

The pursuit is what is elevating me, through the healing power of nature, the sense of play, and a grateful celebration of our beautiful country. This pursuit is what has been important, to explore the shift in viewpoint necessary to come up with alternate solutions”. Lynda James Carroll

For 40 years Ms. Carroll taught Art related subjects to all levels of students from Kindergarten to Adults, primarily at the high school level in the Greenwich and Wilton Public Schools. Ms. Carroll managed the Art and Music Departments for the Greenwich Public Schools. She’s also instructed adults at Parsons School of Design in New York City and Silvermine School of Art in New Canaan, CT.

She’s was the Associate Curator of Education at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, CT and was the President of the Loft Artists Association in Stamford all while maintaining an active studio art practice.

Artistry in Focus: The Four Women Behind the Magic

Brigid Kennedy:
Attendees can look forward to Kennedy’s intimate paintings, executed on Yupo paper and Dura-Lar archival film, offering a unique perspective on homes. Her ability to capture fleeting moments of natural light and reflections on glass adds a layer of complexity and metaphor to the exhibition. Having lived and worked across continents, Kennedy’s rich artistic history will become an integral part of the narrative.

Melissa Misla:
Misla’s immersive installation is set to transport viewers into her “Nuyorican” (New York Puerto Rican) home setting. Inspired by her 30-year residence in Elmhurst, Queens, and memories of her aunt’s Lower East Side public housing, Misla will recreate the ambiance with paintings, furnishings, and potted plants. The vibrancy of her work is poised to reflect the spirit of a native New Yorker, earning her recognition in galleries from Missouri, to Florida, to Chelsea, and beyond.

Mary Tooley Parker:
Parker’s hand-hooked rugs are sure to bring whimsy and warmth to the exhibition, skillfully depicting realistic scenes inspired by personal memories and visual imagery. Her fiber artworks skillfully depict realistic people, places, and objects. Residing in Westchester County, Parker’s vibrant compositions will infuse the traditional medium with a contemporary aesthetic, creating moments of joy and familiarity.

Nitza Tufiño:
Tufiño’s mixed media clothesline and hanger artworks will expand the immersive experience of home. “Tenderete,” paying homage to her “Mexi-Rican” heritage, will feature vibrant banners of collaged vintage family photographs, printmaking, and embroidered machine-drawn stitching. Even at the age of 74, Tufiño continues to exhibit her unwavering passion, currently co-curating and having recently showcased her works in a solo exhibition at Taller Puertorriqueño in Philadelphia, as well as a group show at El Museo Del Barrio in New York. A New Yorker since 1969, Tufiño has tirelessly advocated for diverse representation and the inclusion of Latinx artists in mainstream conversations.

Join us for the Opening Reception of our Spring Exhibition — "Our Fragile Home" by artist Pat Musick — on Thursday, March 7. Our Fragile Home was inspired by the words astronauts have used universally upon viewing Earth from space for the first time: Fragile, Protect, Beauty, Steward, Sustain, Harmony, Nurture. In different languages and across many boundaries, their words were all the same.

Through paint, sculpture, and mixed media, Pat Musick conveys the fragility of our planet, and its natural and eternal beauty. Her work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and has over 50 permanent installations in public spaces. Musick was married to Marine Corps Colonel Gerald P. (Jerry) Carr, one of 19 Group 5 astronauts selected by NASA in 1966. He was Commander of the Skylab 4 84-day mission.

Their life is the subject of the award-winning documentary The Artist & The Astronaut, which had its Connecticut premiere at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center last May, and will be shown again as a Nights Out Adult program on March 8, the evening following the exhibition’s opening reception.
