A warm welcome to Françoise Ménard, our current Artist in Residence, with us for the next three months from Paris, France. Françoise is an oil painter who creates her colors using natural earth pigments crushed in oil. She developed her painting techniques at the famed l’École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. While there, she studied a 13th Century painting technique developed by the Van Eyck Brothers using egg, lean glacis, fat tempura and cellulose glue. Françoise will be teaching her techniques in a five day workshop, January 6th through 10th, from 10am to 4pm each day. There will be limited spaces for this workshop and we expect it to fill quickly. To find out more, please visit our website. The Artist in Residence Program is in partnership with the Cook Foundation.

We’re thrilled to have former Artist in Residence, Carole Böggemann Peirson, return to Arts on Main this weekend for a one-day workshop focusing on light and shadow. Her keen eye and enthusiasm for visual storytelling make her a particularly skilled instructor when it comes to capturing dramatic lighting. If you happen to visit the gallery between 10 and 4 on Saturday, you’re welcome to take a peek at the workshop but, please, try to stay “library quiet” out of respect for the creativity at work. The front of the gallery will be business as usual and TWO VIEWS IN THE TIDELANDS is still on display. 🖼: Wild About Flowers, Oil, Carole Böggemann Peirson
