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: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.
