Featured Artists
Artist in Residence
Marisabel Artieda started drawing and painting at a very young age, and later studied graphic design, but she found her true passion in the Fine Arts. This exhibition is a retrospective collection of her past and current work and highlights her love for her native Peru and Connecticut.
Artist in Residence- Susan Lerner
The work communicates personal experiences by literally traveling down memory lane, exploring the world near and far. Many of these collages are grounded in both New York City and Litchfield, CT, which represent home. Others elicit the desire to travel and explore the world and different cultures. Ultimately, the work embodies the attitude that anything is possible.
Artist in residence- Amber Maida
Amber Maida’s paintings are internationally collected and have been exhibited in galleries and Museums throughout the US, Canada, and in the UK. Most recently Amber’s painting, “Lit From Within” was awarded First Place and a solo show at The Mattatuck Museum’s 2016 Mixmaster juried exhibit by Juror, Elizabeth Denny, Director of the Denny Gallery (NYC). The solo exhibition, Entrances & Exits, was on exhibit August, 2016. Since 2012, Amber’s paintings have been represented by Art Cube Gallery (Laguna Beach, CA) with solo exhibitions during September/October 2014. In September 2013 Maida was one of a three-person exhibition at LA Artcore Galleries (Los Angeles, CA, Brewery Annex location) and while living in Southern California, she had an artist film created about her process and artwork by photographer/videographer, Eric Minh Swenson titled, “Broken Eggshells.” Since returning to Connecticut in 2015, Amber has also had two solo exhibitions featuring her mixed media paintings and assemblage sculptures titled, “Elemental” in May 2017, and“The Silver Lining” in April/May 2015 at Serendipity Gallery in Litchfield, CT.
