ARTISTS RECEPTION
December 6, 2008 from 6p – 8p
Connie Pfeiffer, (works below), co-founder of City Gallery, a cooperative gallery in New Haven, maintains a studio in Chester while instructing at the Creative Arts Workshop since 1999. In addition to organizing shows in her own studio, she is preparing for her upcoming solo show at UConn Avery Point’s Alexey von Schlippe Gallery in April 2009. Pfeiffer’s recent work primarily draws on the process of building and dismantling protective layers through the use repetition.
Paula Gabriel (works above and right) began exhibiting her work exclusively in Paris in the early 1980’s and then showed throughout Europe for the remainder of the decade. In 1989, she moved to Connecticut for new inspirations and settings for her “nature” inspired art. Gabriel states how her art is a “visual experience” and that it “investigates the beauty and mystery of nature.”
