The new featured artist with work on exhibit at Guilford's Town Hall is Pam Carlson of Essex, CT. Pam was born and raised in Darien where, even at a young age, she loved art and participated in local school art shows. While attending college she worked each summer in New York working in commercial art in the advertising world. Teaching won her heart over after graduation and she taught Art for several years before becoming a fulltime mother and bringing her craft back into her home. The call of Art came again when she built a studio in her home and exhibited in 'town green' art and craft shows up and down the east coast. She pursued this outlet for more than twenty years.
Now she is concentrating on gallery shows and has had her paintings shown at Art Essex Gallery, Old Lyme Art Association, Guilford Art League, Mystic Art Association, Essex Art Association, The Garvin Studio, The Troy Gallery (Southport), and many other CT locations as well as Three Rivers Art Show in Pittsburg, PA and Gallery West and The Emerson Art Center in Bozeman, MT.
Her landscape and barnyard subjects come from the farms and back yards of Montana and Connecticut along with her landscapes and sunsets from Buzzards Bay to the Rocky Mountains. Pam is a director of the Essex Art Association and a member of the Mystic, Old Lyme, Madison, and Guilford Art Leagues/Associations. Five of her paintings depicting Connecticut's Farm animals are presently hanging in the Congressional Office Building in Washington, DC. In addition she has been the recipient of several awards on her work from independent jurors including Best in Show honors.
Her work may be viewed at Guilford Town Hall, 31 Park Street, Monday-Friday, 8:30am - 4:30pm (closed on legal holidays) through September 6. An artist's reception will be announced at a later date.
