The Artful Women of Clinton Return
Shannon Blencowe, Lauren Tryrell and Shannon Gilmore,
all from Clinton, and all college art students, present to the community a
selection of their paintings and drawings before returning to school in the
fall. All three young artists studied with Chester
artist Claudia Post for extensive training during high school and recently displayed
their work at the Mill Gallery in Chester
in an exhibit called Artful Women. Blencowe attends Montserrat College of Art in
Beverly, MA, Tyrell, attends the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston,
and Gilmore attends Paier College of Art in Hamden. Influenced by the rising trend of returning to classical realism with a
contemporary edge, their works in pastel, oil and colored pencil reflect a
strong academic background and mastery of portraiture, still life, figurative
works, landscapes and animals. Their works will be on display upstairs in the
Henry Carter Hull Library, August 2 through August 30th.
