He has been a member of the Ridgefield Guild of Artists since 1995 and has served on the Guild’s board of directors\, created and maintained the Guild’s original website and has been the Guild’s historian.

I am always learning and exploring with my art as that keeps me and my viewer interested and excited for the next piece. \nWhen working in watercolor I start each piece with an ink drawing using an eyedropper. Colors are applied with a brush and manipulated with various items found in the studio. When painting in oil\, a palette knife is used. This keeps the painting vibrant with color and expressive with emotion.

SUMMARY:Noise & Blessings: Live Music At The Meetinghouse
DESCRIPTION:March 6 @ 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm \nComing up at The Meetinghouse – Karen Dazzler\, Death Rattled\, and XUR: \nMax Caulkins is an experimental musician and game developer. With a mix of melodic playing and spacious effects (now with beats)\, Max aims to create landscapes that listeners can meditate to and get lost in\, drawing them into a world of color and texture. She can be found performing around New York\, either on sax or keys or some combination of the two\, usually bringing her strange electronic noise bending machine (aka laptop). \nDeath Rattled uses all forms of media to create distorted\, glitched out collages of sight\, sound\, taste\, touch\, and feel. They love exploring the assembling\, juxtaposition\, and disfiguration of symbols and their meanings. When everything is on the table\, nothing is too strange to move the heart. \nThe project is led by Manuel J. Perez III (MJPIII)\, an interdisciplinary artist and experimental performer based out of the northeastern USA. \n& XUR\, the local band. \nFriday\, 3/6/26\nDoors open at 6\, music from 7-10. \nTickets $10 online\, $12 at the door.
