Colleen Hains of Silvermine, Connecticut comes to SATC
Enjoy the work of local Silvermine, Connecticut artist Colleen Hains, who takes us on scenic adventures of barn scenes in Vermont and the Seashore in Rowayton, Connecticut to her own version of ‘The Birds’, like Alfred Hitchcock frightened us with.
Colleen is an oil painter whose primary focus is to draw emotion from the viewer. As she paints, her emotions are embedded in the canvas with her paints. Whether animal paintings of dogs, cats or horses, she hopes the viewer will feel the kindness and love of the animal.
Colleen studied under Rayma Spaulding, a Hudson River Valley Painter. Colleen currently chairs the Silvermine Artists in Residence Organization. She is the owner of Art Masters of Silvermine, an effort to bring art into everyone’s world. She enjoys teaching Alzheimer/dementia seniors watercolor.

PEOPLE AND PLACES ART EXHIBIT
Art Exhibit of works by Carol Gaulin-Mckenzie and Roberta Shea
The Cultural Arts Coalition and Studio Around the Corner present a visually stunning exhibition of works by Newtown, Ct. artists Carol Gaulin-McKenzie and Roberta Shea.
Carol creates life-size realistic portraits. Her technique involves the use of various materials including papers, fabrics, chalks, paints, etc. to build a Japanese-like flat vs. modeled mixed media surface that begins with a photograph and ends with a feeling.
Roberta paints real and imagined landscapes filled with light, air, color, atmosphere, and mystery. With her loose, bold, brushstroke and color combinations she seamlessly moves from realistic to the abstract. Her sense of place is expressed in oil paint as she invites viewers to be part of her creative process.
