SUMMARY:Angela Jane: Landscapes and Friends
DESCRIPTION:On display in The Meetinghouse Gallery \nLandscapes and Friends\nPhotography by Angela Jane\n  \nMay 30 – August 17\, 2025\nUpstairs Gallery of Shields Hall\, The Meetinghouse \nThe Gallery is open Tuesdays – Sundays 8:00 am – 4:00 pm for viewing. (Closed Mondays). \n  \n  \nArtist’s Statement\nI’m Angela MacManus\, a Ridgefield resident who’s the photographer and artist behind ‘by Angela Jane™ ’ which is the name I use for my artwork and online presence. \nI purely focus on beautiful pieces of art and gifts for your home or office\, where everything is either photographed by me on my travels around the world\, painted\, digitally created\, or lovingly handcrafted\, in my Ridgefield Connecticut studio. \nFor this show I have selected one genre – photography – and have picked a small selection showing varied landscapes\, seascapes\, and animals from my travels in the US\, Europe\, and UK. \nThe images on display range from large\, limited edition\, statement panoramic landscapes to smaller\, open edition\, cute animal scenes – each with its own personal (to me) story. \nI hope you like looking at photographs as much as I do\, and that they evoke calming\, happy memories and emotions for you too… \n…hearing your stories and how you connect to my images\, for me\, is what makes it all worthwhile. \nEnjoy the show! \n  \nTo view more of Angela Jane’s work or contact her; \n\nVisit her website  https://byangelajane.com/\nFollow her on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/byangelajane\nFollow her on Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/byAngelaJaneUSA

SUMMARY:Rochambeau - America’s Forgotten French Founding Father - with the Ridgefield Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:Presented in collaboration with The Ridgefield Historical Society \n\nThe Ridgefield Historical Society and The Meetinghouse in Ridgebury proudly present historian Keith Marshall Jones III who will give the illustrated presentation\, Rochambeau – America’s Forgotten French Founding Father\, on Tuesday\, July 1\, 2025\, at 6:30pm at The Meetinghouse at 602 Ridgebury Road\, Ridgefield\, CT. Held in honor of the 300th anniversary of Rochambeau’s birth (July 1\, 1725)\, the presentation will be followed by a reception. \nTickets are limited\, non-refundable\, and expected to sell out quickly. Admission is $15 for members of the Ridgefield Historical Society and The Meetinghouse in Ridgebury\, and $20 for those who aren’t yet members. \nPurchase Tickets Here\n  \nOn July 1\, 1781\, French Lieutenant General Jean-Baptiste-Donatien de Vimeur\, Comte de Rochambeau\, celebrated his 56th birthday right here in Ridgefield. While his superbly equipped and immaculately clad 4\,700-man army camped in Ridgebury Parish\, en route to Yorktown to join General George Washington’s forces and secure American independence\, the Comte dined at Ensign Samuel Keeler’s nearby tavern. The following morning\, one of his regimental chaplains conducted Connecticut’s first inland Catholic Mass. \nJoin Keith Marshall Jones III on July 1 to commemorate Rochambeau’s birthday visit and explore the story of his army’s two-day stay in Ridgefield. Learn why French money\, arms\, and manpower paved the way for American independence. Discover how it was Rochambeau\, not General George Washington\, who devised the bold stale-mate-breaking strategy that led to the decisive victory at Yorktown\, and how he later narrowly escaped the guillotine during the French Revolution as thanks for his efforts. \n\nKeith Marshall Jones III\, Founding President of the Ridgefield Historical Society\, is the author of THE BATTLE OF RIDGEFIELD\, Benedict Arnold\, the Patriot Militia and the Surprising 1777 Battle that Galvanized Revolutionary Connecticut (2024). Other books include: JOHN LAURANCE\, the Immigrant Founding Father America Never Knew (awarded the American Philosophical Society’s 2019 “Publication of the Year”); CONGRESS AS MY GOVERNMENT\, Chief Justice John Marshall in the War for Independence (2008); Farmers Against the Crown (2002); and The Farms of Farmingville (2001). He lives in New York City and Connecticut. \nFor more information contact: info@ridgfieldhistoricalsociety.org or 203-438-5821

SUMMARY:Linda Pickwick: Still Life in Watercolors
DESCRIPTION:On display in The Meetinghouse Gallery \nStill Life in Watercolors\nWatercolor Paintings by Linda Pickwick\n  \nJuly 6 – August 31\, 2025\nAn opening reception will be held Sunday\, July 6\, 2025 from 2-4 pm. \nThe Gallery is open Tuesdays – Sundays 8:00 am – 4:00 pm for viewing. (Closed Mondays). \n  \n  \nArtist’s Biography\nLinda Pickwick is a lifelong artist based in Newton\, Connecticut. Her passion for art began early\, with a love for drawing that blossomed during her school years. In high school and college\, foundational art classes sparked a special interest in portraiture\, setting the stage for her creative pursuits. \nAfter graduating and spending several years in the workforce\, Linda married and started a family. As her children grew older\, she returned to art with renewed enthusiasm. Sharing a love for antiques with her husband\, she developed a deep interest in 19th-century decorative arts. Exploring this style\, she began experimenting with Theorem painting\, primitive folk art\, and decorative painting on wood and tin—accessible and inspiring mediums that fueled her creativity. \nLinda became an active member of the National Society of Decorative Painting and participated in craft fairs\, selling her hand-painted wooden pieces. In 1993\, her work received national recognition when she won first place in a painting competition hosted by Decorative Woodcrafts\, a Better Homes and Gardens publication. \nHer artistic journey evolved from acrylics on canvas to the expressive medium of watercolor. Studying under Carol Hubbard\, A.W.S.\, of Monroe\, Connecticut\, Linda embraced a layered watercolor technique that lends depth and vibrancy to her work. She has since exhibited in local art shows\, earning multiple awards for her paintings. \nIn addition to her studio work\, Linda has also shared her talents through faux painting\, including murals and trompe l’oeil\, transforming private homes with her artistic touch. \nToday\, she continues to paint in both acrylic and watercolor\, always eager to begin her next creative endeavor.
