 Details:

The Guilford Art League presents its 73rd Annual Juried Exhibit & Sale on view at The Gallery at Guilford Art Center from Monday, September 13 – Saturday, October 2. Juried by Lenny Moskowitz, the colorful and eclectic show features more than 100 Connecticut artists working in all media including oils, watercolor, pastels, acrylics, sculpture, collage, mixed media, printmaking, and photography.

From the Juror, Lenny Moskowitz, Connecticut landscape painter -  “I was somewhat introspective in choosing works for the show.  This may be due to the coronavirus pandemic, which may have made people look inward. But on the other hand, this situation may have also influenced the artists to be more colorful and even humorous. I believe the works I selected show hope for the future.”

You can click HERE to view the Show Program, which includes names of all selected artists.  I am honored to be included in this show.

RECYCLE BWAC Brooklyn

It was a lovely day in Brooklyn, NYC last Sunday!  Thrilling to walk around the Red Hook waterfront area and have lunch with family at a great Thai restaurant we found along the way.  

The show itself, RECYCLE at Brooklyn Water front Artists Coalition (BWAC) did not disappoint.  Here are some images:
