July and August will find interesting artwork displays by three very talented ladies, gracing the walls of the Pinney Gallery, found in the lower level of Suffield’s Kent Memorial Library.
Pui Yee Law
July will feature the paintings of Enfield artist Pui Yee Law. From Hong Kong, she is an ardent student of arts and sciences. While formally educated in the sciences, she derives much joy from creating art, her hobby. She learned classical Chinese painting during her early years, later exploring new mediums, styles and techniques, including the use of acrylic markers, on a variety of surfaces.
A past active member of the Tobacco Valley Artists Association, and the Chinese Artists association in Greater Los Angeles, California, she has been demonstrating and teaching Chinese painting in many Senior Centers, in Massachusetts and Connecticut, for over 20 years.
Viewers here will find a beautiful collection of oriental art, rendered in several media on a variety of art surfaces.
A “Meet The Artist” reception will take place in the gallery, Thursday, July 10, from 6 – 8 p.m. This show is made possible through the efforts of the Suffield Arts Council, Pui Yee Law and the KML staff.
The month of August will feature a presentation by a mother and daughter, Pat and Tara Conant.
Pat Conant
This accomplished artist holds a BFA degree from the Massachusetts College of Art, and an MFA degree from Tufts University in conjunction with the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. A retired Professor of Art from Westfield State University, a very extensive list of her art activities and achievements will be on display in the gallery during this show.
We look forward to presenting examples of Pat’s work alongside photographs brought here by Tara, her daughter.
