“WOMEN IN TRANSITION”

 

Inspired by artists such as Wolf Kahn, Leroy Neiman and Jonas Jones, three Suffield watercolorists have stepped out of their comfort zone to produce an eclectic body of work which will be on display at the Kent Memorial Library for the month of January. Carolyn Caldwell, Laura Lucia, and Lynn Malec have made the transition from watercolor paper to canvas of all sizes, using a palette built on rich colors of blue, purple, and red along with metallics and whites.

 

With the addition of tactile substance, they have enhanced these colors creating texture and movement, pitting matte against gloss, light against dark, warm against cool, and visual against emotional.

 

Carolyn Caldwell is a Suffield paramedic and a ski patroller at an area mountain. She has studied art at Smith College and McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. Carolyn has a thought-provoking, ethereal style running through her works.

 

Laura Lucia, owner of Affordable Framing in Windsor Locks, CT has studied with Howard Beresford, Lynn Malec, Mary Rosman and Joyce Washer. Along with framing, Laura is a jewelry designer with a zest for life that is evident in each subject and brushstroke.

 

Lynn Malec, trained graphic artist, has studied throughout the country and internationally with many well known artists. A member of the Connecticut Watercolor Society and the Wickford Art Association of Rhode Island, Lynn teaches class at her studio in Suffield and at the Windsor Locks Senior Center. Lynn’s work vividly depicts light and shadow.

 

The artists will host a reception in the gallery from 6:00 – 8:00 PM, on Thursday, January 7th. The public is invited.

 

This show is made possible through the efforts of the artists, the Suffield Arts Council, and the Kent Memorial Library staff.

Suffield Park and Rec ARTful Activites

 
 
 
IDEA?? - Is there interest in making a quilt representing Suffield? The individual blocks could highlight historic buildings? Or current sites, schools, churches.  Groups that have a history in town - Friends, Garden Club, Masons? I am thinking large  10 ft x 15 ft  or larger - to be hung at the town hall. This would definitely be a group effort, and maybe a year or more of our lives. If you are interested email suffieldarts@gmail.com

Have you written a book?

Had an article published?

 

 

During the months of February and March 2010, the display case at Kent Memorial Library will feature published authors who have, at one time, called Suffield Connecticut home.  We have titled it:

 

Do you know what your neighbors are writing about?

 

All the photos and information will be turned  over to the Suffield Historical Society for permanent inclusion in their records.

 

If you are a published author or know someone who is,  contact Pam Baldini at KML reference desk for display  information.
