On view March 7 — May 27 at the SM&NC: Jeremiah Chechik, artist, film director and photographer, is obsessed with the porous boundary between fact and fiction. The subtly investigative prints he creates explore our “post truth” reality, melding 21st century advanced digital design with traditional printing on Hahnemühle paper. The resulting images are more than just visually stunning and thoroughly aesthetic — they also raise key questions about the nature of truth and knowledge in our media-saturated age.

All In This Together: Highlights from our Printmaking Programs

Exhibition Dates: March 4-30, 2025

Over the past 12 months, the Center for Contemporary Printmaking has facilitated the printmaking projects of dozens of artists.

Our March 2025 Exhibition highlights some of the prints that have been produced at CCP through our suite of programs. The variety and excellence of the work displayed in our gallery this month serves as both example and inspiration to our community, and underscores our dedication to the art of print.

The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Biophilia, an exhibition featuring the work of six women artists: Carol Bouyoucos, Loren Eiferman, Julie Evans, Heide Follin, Christina Massey, and Sui Park. Curated by Ellen Hawley, the show explores the concept of biophilia, a term coined by Harvard naturalist Dr. Edward O. Wilson, referring to humanity’s intrinsic affinity for nature and life.

Drawing inspiration from both real and imagined aspects of the natural world, these artists explore the intersection of nature, imagination, and technology. Their diverse practices reflect personal connections to the environment, sustainability, and the fragility of life. Their works are expressed through a dynamic range of 2D and 3D materials, textures, and colors. Using a range of materials and techniques—from traditional painting to upcycled sculptures—they offer unique perspectives on ecological responsibility and the evolving relationship between humans and the Earth.

Carol Bouyoucos , for example, combines photography and digital tools to create vibrant, surreal landscapes that evoke nature while incorporating technological intervention.  Loren Eiferman  takes a different approach, transforming discarded wood into intricate sculptures inspired by mythical 15th century plant references from The Voynich Manuscript, while weaving in a conversation about ecological healing with her series Nature Will Heal.

Julie Evans ’ earthy ceramic sculptures, with their organic shapes and textures, also seek to bridge the familiar and the unfamiliar that evolve from her background as a painter. Only recently, she recently began making ceramic sculpture. Similarly,  Heide Follin ’s layered botanical imagery on canvas, fabric, or wood panels, reflects her interest in ecosystems and their unseen, energetic connections. The vibrancy and texture of her abstract compositions capture the energy of growing things, evoking both their beauty and complexity.   A quote reads: “My interests in eco-systems include the examinations of things that grow; their energies, gestures, movements, entanglements, textures and personalities.”

Christina Massey ’s uses repurposed aluminum cans to create colorful, abstract works that merge painting, sculpture, and sustainability, incorporating glass blown elements she recently learned to create. The otherworldly, colorful abstractions she creates live somewhere between that of painting and sculpture, craft and fine art, process based and conceptual. 

Lastly,  Sui Park  manipulates industrial materials like plastic zip ties to form dynamic, biomorphic sculptures that reflect nature’s subtle transformations. They are non–durable, disposable, trivial, inexpensive and easily consumed materials. Park writes, “I often find these moments from nature. 

I think nature allows us to pause and find things that have been overlooked and are inspiring. Through these forms, I attempt to express seemingly static yet dynamic characteristics of our evolving lives. While they resemble transitions and transformations of nature, the forms are to capture subtle but continuous changes in our emotions, sentiments, memories and expectations.”

Biophilia invites viewers to pause and reconsider their relationship with the natural world, offering reimagined life forms and reinterpreted landscapes through the artists' unique visions.

Events: 

  • Opening reception: Thursday, March 13, 2025, from 6-8pm
  • Artist Talk: Sunday, March 30 @ 2 pm 
  • Greenwich Library Friend’s Friday Film: Date TBA

Biophilia is curated by Flinn Gallery committee member Ellen Hawley. The Flinn Gallery is a non-profit organization sponsored by the Friends of Greenwich Library and is located on the second floor of the Library at 101 Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT. The Gallery welcomes visitors daily Mon. to Sat., 10am-5pm, Thurs. until 8pm, and Sun. 1-5pm.

 Opening Reception - Saturday, March 22, 2-4pm.

Heide Follin, the recipient of the 73rd A-ONE Exhibition Board Chair Grand Prize, draws her inspiration from nature. She transforms natural elements into lyrical organic abstractions, inviting viewers to explore new worlds and patterns. Photographs of botanical specimens and landscapes capture the energetic forms that call out to her as she wanders through the garden. She uses color in her drawings and paintings to describe natural phenomena. As you immerse yourself in Heide's creations, you'll be captivated by the interplay of color, texture, and form, each painting offering a unique visual and tactile experience. Her art not only reveals the beauty of nature but also evokes a sense of wonder and discovery.

 About the Exhibition: Environmental threats and climate change are urgent matters of concern at Jesuit universities, where conversations on this topic often take place in reference to two documents by Pope Francis: Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home (2015) and the 2023 update Laudate Deum. Artists play an indispensable role in our collective response to climate change. To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home, curated by Al Miner and David Brinker, will present work by Athena LaTocha, Mary Mattingly, and Tyler Rai, three contemporary artists whose outlook resonates with the themes of Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum. Embodying a breadth of personal, geographic, and cultural backgrounds, the three artists create works strongly associated with a sense of place, whether specific or imaginary. They employ media as diverse as photography, sculpture, video, and painting, and often incorporate materials sourced from particular locales. Yet the artists draw forth broader themes from this particularity, critiquing political and economic systems that perpetuate destructive self-interest and drawing attention to people who have been marginalized and historically excluded or harmed. The works are artistically compelling yet can inspire us to creativity and boldness in our efforts to address climate change. This exhibition will open at Saint Louis University's Museum of Contemporary Religious Art in Fall 2025.

This exhibition explores Tonalism in the United States from the 1880s to the early 20th century, through artists from the Northeast such as George Inness, John Henry Twachtman, and John Francis Murphy. Tonalism is a transitional movement that grew out of and reacted to the Hudson River School of painting and laid the groundwork for modernism. Evocative landscapes, evoking a spiritual connection to the natural world, often painted from memory, are the primary genre of this movement. The more than fifty artworks in this exhibition are drawn from private and institutional collections.

We are pleased to announce our upcoming show, Refraction, featuring original abstract watercolor paintings by Connecticut-based artist Nealy Hauschildt on the main wall of Sorelle Gallery. The show will opening Saturday, March 8, 2025, with an Artist Meet & Greet and Opening Reception from 2:00 - 4:00pm on opening day. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore Nealy's artwork, meet with her and learn about her process, and enjoy light refreshments. 

Nealy Hauschildt is a Connecticut-based artist. She obtained her BFA from the University of Michigan, during which time she spent four months studying at the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague, CZ. Her work has been featured in Thought Art Magazine and CandyFloss Magazine, and has been included in shows and private collections across the country.

"Color plays an enormous role in my work and in how I experience the world," Hauschildt says. "My paintings are a combination of what exists in nature and how I experience my environment. I aim to capture the soul of the landscape through minimalistic, emotive color planes. Just as planned as it is exploratory, my process includes layering transparent washes and allowing room for the paint to evolve on page. I hope for my work to provide a moment of reflection and inspire sight; to reconnect us with land, sea, and sky and ignite an emotional response to color.

"The work included in Refraction focuses on my experience of light affecting color," she continues. "The slow-shifting deep tones of a late summer evening shortly after the sun has set; the sparkling pale mist across the back bowl of a mountain - all of these experiences I recall in impressionistic colorfields. Color is integral to how we experience life, and there is no color without refraction. Color is simply our perception of reflected light. The colors of my surroundings are contained in memories, just as my initial perception is contained in refractions."

Hauschildt's paintings will be on view through Saturday, March 29th. Find her original abstract watercolor paintings at sorellegallery.com.

This On View feature is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm. Street parking is available.

 The Contemporary Art Modern Project  is pleased to welcome March with two new exhibitions and an online exclusive running simultaneously from  March 7–April 4, 2025.

In CAMP’s incubator space,  Jan Brandt’s  solo exhibition,  Between Stillness and Growth , explores the tension between bloom and decay through Brandt’s signature use of playful, tactile materials like puffy paint and glitter. Her Hothouse series navigates the fluid boundary between representation and abstraction, creating compositions that pulse with kinetic energy while incorporating moments of stillness. These textures and compositions invite viewers to pause, reflect, and embrace life’s rhythms, offering both a reflection on transition and an exploration of the cycle between chaos and calm.

Curated by Amy Arechavaleta.

The CAMP Gallery is open  Tuesday–Saturday ,  12 to 5 PM.

For more information, please reach out to our email  hello@thecampgallery.com.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery)

The Contemporary Art Modern Project Gallery specializes is a contemporary art gallery dedicated to raising awareness for emerging and mid-career artists with a unique emphasis on ultra-contemporary approaches to textiles and fiber art. Founded during the height of the pandemic by Melanie Prapopoulos, the gallery has gone on to create a distinctly academic and thought-provoking arts program in North Miami, and beyond. As a gallery, The CAMP remains steadfast in transparency both for the artist and for the collector, building bridges and connections from creation to acquisition. With a robust local and international roster, the gallery represents artists working in textiles and fiber, painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. Looking at art, as a whole, through a reactionary and interdisciplinary approach, the gallery operates as a space wherein creativity and reality co-exist.

A special evening with author Gregory Maguire, who will discuss his new book Elphie: The Wicked Childhood, a prequel to the international bestseller Wicked, Maguire's 1995 novel that was adapted into the long-running, Tony Award-winning Broadway musical and the blockbuster major motion picture of the same name. 

Elphie chronicles the formative years of Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West, unveiling her intriguing past and setting the stage for the global phenomenon that is Wicked.

Teens and adults. 

A small reception will open the presentation at 6:30pm; book sale and signing hosted by Elm Street Books will follow.

What happened to young Elphaba before her witchy powers took hold in Wicked? Almost 30 years after the publication of the original novel, for the first time Gregory Maguire reveals the story of prickly young Elphie, the future Wicked Witch of the West. Elphaba will grow up to have a feisty and somewhat uncompromising character in adult life. But she is always a one-off, from her infancy; Elphie is the riveting coming-of-age story of a very peculiar and relatable young girl.

Gregory Maguire is the New York Times bestselling author of the Wicked Years, a series that includes Wicked, the beloved classic that is the basis for the Broadway musical and the major motion picture. The series includes the titles Son of a WitchA Lion Among Men and Out of Oz. His series Another Day continues the story of Oz with The Brides of MaracoorThe Oracle of Maracoor and The Witch of Maracoor. Other novels include A Wild Winter SwanHiddenseeAfter AliceConfessions of an Ugly StepsisterLost and Mirror Mirror.

On view March 7 — May 27 at the SM&NC: Jeremiah Chechik, artist, film director and photographer, is obsessed with the porous boundary between fact and fiction. The subtly investigative prints he creates explore our “post truth” reality, melding 21st century advanced digital design with traditional printing on Hahnemühle paper. The resulting images are more than just visually stunning and thoroughly aesthetic — they also raise key questions about the nature of truth and knowledge in our media-saturated age.

The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Biophilia, an exhibition featuring the work of six women artists: Carol Bouyoucos, Loren Eiferman, Julie Evans, Heide Follin, Christina Massey, and Sui Park. Curated by Ellen Hawley, the show explores the concept of biophilia, a term coined by Harvard naturalist Dr. Edward O. Wilson, referring to humanity’s intrinsic affinity for nature and life.

Drawing inspiration from both real and imagined aspects of the natural world, these artists explore the intersection of nature, imagination, and technology. Their diverse practices reflect personal connections to the environment, sustainability, and the fragility of life. Their works are expressed through a dynamic range of 2D and 3D materials, textures, and colors. Using a range of materials and techniques—from traditional painting to upcycled sculptures—they offer unique perspectives on ecological responsibility and the evolving relationship between humans and the Earth.

Carol Bouyoucos , for example, combines photography and digital tools to create vibrant, surreal landscapes that evoke nature while incorporating technological intervention.  Loren Eiferman  takes a different approach, transforming discarded wood into intricate sculptures inspired by mythical 15th century plant references from The Voynich Manuscript, while weaving in a conversation about ecological healing with her series Nature Will Heal.

Julie Evans ’ earthy ceramic sculptures, with their organic shapes and textures, also seek to bridge the familiar and the unfamiliar that evolve from her background as a painter. Only recently, she recently began making ceramic sculpture. Similarly,  Heide Follin ’s layered botanical imagery on canvas, fabric, or wood panels, reflects her interest in ecosystems and their unseen, energetic connections. The vibrancy and texture of her abstract compositions capture the energy of growing things, evoking both their beauty and complexity.   A quote reads: “My interests in eco-systems include the examinations of things that grow; their energies, gestures, movements, entanglements, textures and personalities.”

Christina Massey ’s uses repurposed aluminum cans to create colorful, abstract works that merge painting, sculpture, and sustainability, incorporating glass blown elements she recently learned to create. The otherworldly, colorful abstractions she creates live somewhere between that of painting and sculpture, craft and fine art, process based and conceptual. 

Lastly,  Sui Park  manipulates industrial materials like plastic zip ties to form dynamic, biomorphic sculptures that reflect nature’s subtle transformations. They are non–durable, disposable, trivial, inexpensive and easily consumed materials. Park writes, “I often find these moments from nature. 

I think nature allows us to pause and find things that have been overlooked and are inspiring. Through these forms, I attempt to express seemingly static yet dynamic characteristics of our evolving lives. While they resemble transitions and transformations of nature, the forms are to capture subtle but continuous changes in our emotions, sentiments, memories and expectations.”

Biophilia invites viewers to pause and reconsider their relationship with the natural world, offering reimagined life forms and reinterpreted landscapes through the artists' unique visions.

Events: 

  • Opening reception: Thursday, March 13, 2025, from 6-8pm
  • Artist Talk: Sunday, March 30 @ 2 pm 
  • Greenwich Library Friend’s Friday Film: Date TBA

Biophilia is curated by Flinn Gallery committee member Ellen Hawley. The Flinn Gallery is a non-profit organization sponsored by the Friends of Greenwich Library and is located on the second floor of the Library at 101 Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT. The Gallery welcomes visitors daily Mon. to Sat., 10am-5pm, Thurs. until 8pm, and Sun. 1-5pm.

Heide Follin, the recipient of the 73rd A-ONE Exhibition Board Chair Grand Prize, draws her inspiration from nature. She transforms natural elements into lyrical organic abstractions, inviting viewers to explore new worlds and patterns. Photographs of botanical specimens and landscapes capture the energetic forms that call out to her as she wanders through the garden. She uses color in her drawings and paintings to describe natural phenomena. As you immerse yourself in Heide's creations, you'll be captivated by the interplay of color, texture, and form, each painting offering a unique visual and tactile experience. Her art not only reveals the beauty of nature but also evokes a sense of wonder and discovery.

This exhibition explores Tonalism in the United States from the 1880s to the early 20th century, through artists from the Northeast such as George Inness, John Henry Twachtman, and John Francis Murphy. Tonalism is a transitional movement that grew out of and reacted to the Hudson River School of painting and laid the groundwork for modernism. Evocative landscapes, evoking a spiritual connection to the natural world, often painted from memory, are the primary genre of this movement. The more than fifty artworks in this exhibition are drawn from private and institutional collections.

 About the Exhibition: Environmental threats and climate change are urgent matters of concern at Jesuit universities, where conversations on this topic often take place in reference to two documents by Pope Francis: Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home (2015) and the 2023 update Laudate Deum. Artists play an indispensable role in our collective response to climate change. To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home, curated by Al Miner and David Brinker, will present work by Athena LaTocha, Mary Mattingly, and Tyler Rai, three contemporary artists whose outlook resonates with the themes of Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum. Embodying a breadth of personal, geographic, and cultural backgrounds, the three artists create works strongly associated with a sense of place, whether specific or imaginary. They employ media as diverse as photography, sculpture, video, and painting, and often incorporate materials sourced from particular locales. Yet the artists draw forth broader themes from this particularity, critiquing political and economic systems that perpetuate destructive self-interest and drawing attention to people who have been marginalized and historically excluded or harmed. The works are artistically compelling yet can inspire us to creativity and boldness in our efforts to address climate change. This exhibition will open at Saint Louis University's Museum of Contemporary Religious Art in Fall 2025.

We are pleased to announce our upcoming show, Refraction, featuring original abstract watercolor paintings by Connecticut-based artist Nealy Hauschildt on the main wall of Sorelle Gallery. The show will opening Saturday, March 8, 2025, with an Artist Meet & Greet and Opening Reception from 2:00 - 4:00pm on opening day. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore Nealy's artwork, meet with her and learn about her process, and enjoy light refreshments. 

Nealy Hauschildt is a Connecticut-based artist. She obtained her BFA from the University of Michigan, during which time she spent four months studying at the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague, CZ. Her work has been featured in Thought Art Magazine and CandyFloss Magazine, and has been included in shows and private collections across the country.

"Color plays an enormous role in my work and in how I experience the world," Hauschildt says. "My paintings are a combination of what exists in nature and how I experience my environment. I aim to capture the soul of the landscape through minimalistic, emotive color planes. Just as planned as it is exploratory, my process includes layering transparent washes and allowing room for the paint to evolve on page. I hope for my work to provide a moment of reflection and inspire sight; to reconnect us with land, sea, and sky and ignite an emotional response to color.

"The work included in Refraction focuses on my experience of light affecting color," she continues. "The slow-shifting deep tones of a late summer evening shortly after the sun has set; the sparkling pale mist across the back bowl of a mountain - all of these experiences I recall in impressionistic colorfields. Color is integral to how we experience life, and there is no color without refraction. Color is simply our perception of reflected light. The colors of my surroundings are contained in memories, just as my initial perception is contained in refractions."

Hauschildt's paintings will be on view through Saturday, March 29th. Find her original abstract watercolor paintings at sorellegallery.com.

This On View feature is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm. Street parking is available.

In CAMP’s incubator space,  Jan Brandt’s  solo exhibition,  Between Stillness and Growth , explores the tension between bloom and decay through Brandt’s signature use of playful, tactile materials like puffy paint and glitter. Her Hothouse series navigates the fluid boundary between representation and abstraction, creating compositions that pulse with kinetic energy while incorporating moments of stillness. These textures and compositions invite viewers to pause, reflect, and embrace life’s rhythms, offering both a reflection on transition and an exploration of the cycle between chaos and calm.

Curated by Amy Arechavaleta.

The CAMP Gallery is open  Tuesday–Saturday ,  12 to 5 PM.

For more information, please reach out to our email  hello@thecampgallery.com.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery)

The Contemporary Art Modern Project Gallery specializes is a contemporary art gallery dedicated to raising awareness for emerging and mid-career artists with a unique emphasis on ultra-contemporary approaches to textiles and fiber art. Founded during the height of the pandemic by Melanie Prapopoulos, the gallery has gone on to create a distinctly academic and thought-provoking arts program in North Miami, and beyond. As a gallery, The CAMP remains steadfast in transparency both for the artist and for the collector, building bridges and connections from creation to acquisition. With a robust local and international roster, the gallery represents artists working in textiles and fiber, painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. Looking at art, as a whole, through a reactionary and interdisciplinary approach, the gallery operates as a space wherein creativity and reality co-exist.

 Virtual Lecture: Tonalist Works in the Collection of the Florence Griswold Museum

Amy Kurtz Lansing, Curator, Florence Griswold Museum

Presented in conjunction with Dawn & Dusk: Tonalism in Connecticut

Streaming here!

Many of the Tonalist artists included in the exhibition Dawn & Dusk: Tonalism in Connecticut frequented the artist’s colony established at Florence Griswold’s boarding house in Lyme, Connecticut – today the Florence Griswold Museum, recently rebranded as the “FloGris.” Paintings by Henry Ward Ranger and Allen Butler Talcott are on loan to the Fairfield University Art Museum for the exhibition. In a special virtual-only lecture on Wednesday, March 26 at 5 p.m., FloGris curator Amy Kurtz Lansing will discuss these and other Tonalist works in the museum’s collection.

About the Exhibition: This exhibition explores Tonalism in the United States from the 1880s to the early 20th century, through artists from the Northeast such as George Inness, John Henry Twachtman, and John Francis Murphy. Tonalism is a transitional movement that grew out of and reacted to the Hudson River School of painting and laid the groundwork for modernism. Evocative landscapes, evoking a spiritual connection to the natural world, often painted from memory, are the primary genre of this movement. The more than fifty artworks in this exhibition are drawn from private and institutional collections.

Check out the band:

Ralph Lalama - Saxophone. Ralph grew up in West Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, graduated from The Dana School of Music of Youngstown State University (Ohio) and was recognized there for his remarkable talent by the legendary Thad Jones, who encouraged him to come to New York. Since that time, Lalama has reached a dignified status as a widely respected master of the tenor through his achievements in the big bands of Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Carla Bley and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra - now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra - with whom he is a featured soloist on Monday nights at New York's Village Vanguard. His experience includes appearances with Barry Harris, James Moody, Harold Danko, Mel Torme, Carmen McRae, Tom Harrell and Joe Morello. He has recorded with Joe Morello, the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, and the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band, under the direction of Jon Faddis - now the John Faddis Jazz Orchestra. He appears on three Joe Lovano Nonet releases on Blue Note: the Grammy-winning, "52nd Street Themes," (2001), "On This Day...At the Vanguard," (2005), and "Streams of Expression" (2006). In 2005 he celebrated another Grammy-winning release with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra's, "The Way - The Music of Slide Hampton." He is the producer of and performs on a CD of vocalist Nicole Pasternak, "In A Word," (2005, Garagista Music). He is featured on the 2008 Vanguard Jazz Orchestra's "Live at the Village Vanguard" (Planet Arts). His new release as a leader, Ralph Lalama Quartet "Energy Fields" on Mighty Quinn Music came out in October 2008 to a chorus of rave reviews. Jazz icon Dan Morgenstern dubbed it "...one of my best-of-the-year picks, on "Jazz from the Archives," WBGO.

The distinctive Tenorist has led five projects for the Dutch label, Criss-Cross Jazz. "Music for Grown-Ups," (1999) featured notables Richard Wyands at the piano, Peter Washington on bass and Kenny Washington on drums. "Lalama is out front booting things along with that cavernous sound of his and a swing and swagger that is infectious." (allaboutjazz). "Circle Line" (1997) garnered 4½ stars from DownBeat and secured him a spot in the magazine's "Top CDs of the Decade" (Dec. 99). "You Know What I Mean" (1995) received wide acclaim and "Momentum" (1992) with Kenny Barron placed him at No. 2 on NY's WBGO playlist, just behind tenor giant Joe Henderson.

Lalama's playing reveals an enormous depth of musical heart and knowledge. Combined with his muscular sound, executed in a freewheeling, no-holds-barred approach to music, one understands why he so thoroughly connects with musicians and listeners alike. When not busy touring, he dedicates his time to teaching as an adjunct professor at New York University and SUNY Purchase. He has instructed an international collective of students through Manhattan School of Music's Marca Jazz Camp in Venice, Italy and also taught clinics in Assisi, Italy. He also offers private instruction. One of his students, Jonathan Lee, received the 2003 and 2004 National DownBeat Award for Best High School Jazz Soloist. He is a founding member of New York's Westchester (County) Jazz Orchestra (WJO) through which, in addition to their accomplished concert series, he is active in their educational outreach program to jazz students in Westchester County's public schools. As a guest clinician, he has taught at Eastman School of Music, University of Memphis, University of Louisville, University of Tennessee, Knoxville and Temple University. In June 2009, he was featured in a cover story of the publication, Saxophone Journal.

Andrew Wilcox - Piano. Andrew is one of Hartford’s rising young musicians. Originally from Boylston, MA, Andrew has proven himself to be a talented young pianist, with a passion to learn, grow and play. After moving to Hartford at age 18, Andrew quickly sought out his elders and began building relationships with them. These relationships eventually turned into mentors and employers and Andrew has been seen alongside many of these musicians including Haneef Nelson, Nat Reeves, Yoron Israel, Avery Sharpe, Abraham Burton, Jonathan Barber, Alex Tremblay and Matt Dwonszyk.

A respectful student, Andrew was a student of Rick Germanson, Ralph Peterson, Orrin Evans, and the late great Stanley Cowell. Each introduced Andrew to other musicians, but Ralph Peterson introduced Andrew to Jazzmeia Horn, a musician who would time and time again give Andrew chances to prove himself. The most notable test was when Andrew was called as a last minute sub at the Newport Jazz Festival alongside Ms. Horn at the Newport Jazz Festival.

Andrew is a frequent performer in the Northeastern United States where he is a regular member of the Haneef Nelson Quintet and Ed Byrne Quartet, among other groups. In addition, Andrew fronts his own trio and sextet that perform his original compositions and arrangements.

Steven Bulmer - Bass. Steve is a multi-dimensional musician actively performing and recording on upright bass, electric bass and tuba.  A native New Englander from Connecticut, Steve enjoys a very active career that spans many musical idioms including jazz, classical, musical theater and pop/rock. Initiated on piano at age 6, his music journey sent him acoustically lower and lower as he was drawn to the inspirational role the bass plays both rhythmically and harmonically in all type of musical idioms. Steve was formally trained at the Eastman School of Music where he received a bachelor’s degree in both Music Education and Music Performance. He subsequently headed west and he received a Master of Music degree from Northwestern University studying with the famous pedagogue and Chicago Symphony Orchestra tubist Arnold Jacobs. Steve performs extensively with regional and national musicians in many settings. He has performed on Broadway in productions of Chicago (the Musical) and Parade! at Lincoln Center doubling on upright bass and tuba. He is first call in the region when national touring shows hire area musicians, and has played in such productions as If/Then, Beautiful – The Carol King Story, Spamalot, Pippin, Mary Poppins, Evita!, The Addams Family, Billy Eliot, Victor/Victoria, and Young Frankenstein and has backed such talents as Mel Tormé, Ray Charles, The Three Irish Tenors, and Josh Groban. Steve is active as a jazz bassist performing throughout New England with many regional artists and ensembles including performances with Phil Woods, John Abercrombie, Ali Ryerson, Kendra Shank, Nick Brignola, Tom Malone, Lou Marini, Matt Parker, Anton Kot, Jeff Holmes, Earl MacDonald and vocalese artist Giacomo Gates.

Tom Melito - Drummer,  Tom has been a mainstay on the jazz scene for many years. His drumming has been heard behind such varied artists as Bucky Pizzarelli, Frank Wess, Harry Allen, "Sweets" Edison, Lew Soloff, Herb Ellis, Warren Vache, John Bunch, and Bill Watrous. Tom's talents have been in demand internationally, including numerous tours of Japan, Europe, and South America. He has also performed at most of the world’s largest jazz events including; the JVC, Montreal, and the Berne Jazz Festivals. His numerous television appearances include the CBS Early Show, Entertainment Tonight, and CNN World Beat. Melito has also toured with many singers including the late Etta Jones and Kenny Rankin. He has been featured with Stacy Kent and continues to perform regularly in New York City jazz clubs. Active in jazz education he is an adjunct professor of music at Central Connecticut University. He also plays on Jerry Bergonzi’s CD play along method, and is recording a series of jazz educational CDs for “Windplayer” magazine.

Author Paul Slade Smith conjures the spirit of the classic screwball comedies of yesteryear with irresistible charm and backstage antics certain to leave you breathless with laughter. After all, who doesn’t love theatre people? Directed by Mark Shanahan, Westport Country Playhouse artistic director.

On view March 7 — May 27 at the SM&NC: Jeremiah Chechik, artist, film director and photographer, is obsessed with the porous boundary between fact and fiction. The subtly investigative prints he creates explore our “post truth” reality, melding 21st century advanced digital design with traditional printing on Hahnemühle paper. The resulting images are more than just visually stunning and thoroughly aesthetic — they also raise key questions about the nature of truth and knowledge in our media-saturated age.

The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Biophilia, an exhibition featuring the work of six women artists: Carol Bouyoucos, Loren Eiferman, Julie Evans, Heide Follin, Christina Massey, and Sui Park. Curated by Ellen Hawley, the show explores the concept of biophilia, a term coined by Harvard naturalist Dr. Edward O. Wilson, referring to humanity’s intrinsic affinity for nature and life.

Drawing inspiration from both real and imagined aspects of the natural world, these artists explore the intersection of nature, imagination, and technology. Their diverse practices reflect personal connections to the environment, sustainability, and the fragility of life. Their works are expressed through a dynamic range of 2D and 3D materials, textures, and colors. Using a range of materials and techniques—from traditional painting to upcycled sculptures—they offer unique perspectives on ecological responsibility and the evolving relationship between humans and the Earth.

Carol Bouyoucos , for example, combines photography and digital tools to create vibrant, surreal landscapes that evoke nature while incorporating technological intervention.  Loren Eiferman  takes a different approach, transforming discarded wood into intricate sculptures inspired by mythical 15th century plant references from The Voynich Manuscript, while weaving in a conversation about ecological healing with her series Nature Will Heal.

Julie Evans ’ earthy ceramic sculptures, with their organic shapes and textures, also seek to bridge the familiar and the unfamiliar that evolve from her background as a painter. Only recently, she recently began making ceramic sculpture. Similarly,  Heide Follin ’s layered botanical imagery on canvas, fabric, or wood panels, reflects her interest in ecosystems and their unseen, energetic connections. The vibrancy and texture of her abstract compositions capture the energy of growing things, evoking both their beauty and complexity.   A quote reads: “My interests in eco-systems include the examinations of things that grow; their energies, gestures, movements, entanglements, textures and personalities.”

Christina Massey ’s uses repurposed aluminum cans to create colorful, abstract works that merge painting, sculpture, and sustainability, incorporating glass blown elements she recently learned to create. The otherworldly, colorful abstractions she creates live somewhere between that of painting and sculpture, craft and fine art, process based and conceptual. 

Lastly,  Sui Park  manipulates industrial materials like plastic zip ties to form dynamic, biomorphic sculptures that reflect nature’s subtle transformations. They are non–durable, disposable, trivial, inexpensive and easily consumed materials. Park writes, “I often find these moments from nature. 

I think nature allows us to pause and find things that have been overlooked and are inspiring. Through these forms, I attempt to express seemingly static yet dynamic characteristics of our evolving lives. While they resemble transitions and transformations of nature, the forms are to capture subtle but continuous changes in our emotions, sentiments, memories and expectations.”

Biophilia invites viewers to pause and reconsider their relationship with the natural world, offering reimagined life forms and reinterpreted landscapes through the artists' unique visions.

Events: 

  • Opening reception: Thursday, March 13, 2025, from 6-8pm
  • Artist Talk: Sunday, March 30 @ 2 pm 
  • Greenwich Library Friend’s Friday Film: Date TBA

Biophilia is curated by Flinn Gallery committee member Ellen Hawley. The Flinn Gallery is a non-profit organization sponsored by the Friends of Greenwich Library and is located on the second floor of the Library at 101 Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT. The Gallery welcomes visitors daily Mon. to Sat., 10am-5pm, Thurs. until 8pm, and Sun. 1-5pm.

Heide Follin, the recipient of the 73rd A-ONE Exhibition Board Chair Grand Prize, draws her inspiration from nature. She transforms natural elements into lyrical organic abstractions, inviting viewers to explore new worlds and patterns. Photographs of botanical specimens and landscapes capture the energetic forms that call out to her as she wanders through the garden. She uses color in her drawings and paintings to describe natural phenomena. As you immerse yourself in Heide's creations, you'll be captivated by the interplay of color, texture, and form, each painting offering a unique visual and tactile experience. Her art not only reveals the beauty of nature but also evokes a sense of wonder and discovery.

This exhibition explores Tonalism in the United States from the 1880s to the early 20th century, through artists from the Northeast such as George Inness, John Henry Twachtman, and John Francis Murphy. Tonalism is a transitional movement that grew out of and reacted to the Hudson River School of painting and laid the groundwork for modernism. Evocative landscapes, evoking a spiritual connection to the natural world, often painted from memory, are the primary genre of this movement. The more than fifty artworks in this exhibition are drawn from private and institutional collections.

 About the Exhibition: Environmental threats and climate change are urgent matters of concern at Jesuit universities, where conversations on this topic often take place in reference to two documents by Pope Francis: Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home (2015) and the 2023 update Laudate Deum. Artists play an indispensable role in our collective response to climate change. To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home, curated by Al Miner and David Brinker, will present work by Athena LaTocha, Mary Mattingly, and Tyler Rai, three contemporary artists whose outlook resonates with the themes of Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum. Embodying a breadth of personal, geographic, and cultural backgrounds, the three artists create works strongly associated with a sense of place, whether specific or imaginary. They employ media as diverse as photography, sculpture, video, and painting, and often incorporate materials sourced from particular locales. Yet the artists draw forth broader themes from this particularity, critiquing political and economic systems that perpetuate destructive self-interest and drawing attention to people who have been marginalized and historically excluded or harmed. The works are artistically compelling yet can inspire us to creativity and boldness in our efforts to address climate change. This exhibition will open at Saint Louis University's Museum of Contemporary Religious Art in Fall 2025.

We are pleased to announce our upcoming show, Refraction, featuring original abstract watercolor paintings by Connecticut-based artist Nealy Hauschildt on the main wall of Sorelle Gallery. The show will opening Saturday, March 8, 2025, with an Artist Meet & Greet and Opening Reception from 2:00 - 4:00pm on opening day. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore Nealy's artwork, meet with her and learn about her process, and enjoy light refreshments. 

Nealy Hauschildt is a Connecticut-based artist. She obtained her BFA from the University of Michigan, during which time she spent four months studying at the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague, CZ. Her work has been featured in Thought Art Magazine and CandyFloss Magazine, and has been included in shows and private collections across the country.

"Color plays an enormous role in my work and in how I experience the world," Hauschildt says. "My paintings are a combination of what exists in nature and how I experience my environment. I aim to capture the soul of the landscape through minimalistic, emotive color planes. Just as planned as it is exploratory, my process includes layering transparent washes and allowing room for the paint to evolve on page. I hope for my work to provide a moment of reflection and inspire sight; to reconnect us with land, sea, and sky and ignite an emotional response to color.

"The work included in Refraction focuses on my experience of light affecting color," she continues. "The slow-shifting deep tones of a late summer evening shortly after the sun has set; the sparkling pale mist across the back bowl of a mountain - all of these experiences I recall in impressionistic colorfields. Color is integral to how we experience life, and there is no color without refraction. Color is simply our perception of reflected light. The colors of my surroundings are contained in memories, just as my initial perception is contained in refractions."

Hauschildt's paintings will be on view through Saturday, March 29th. Find her original abstract watercolor paintings at sorellegallery.com.

This On View feature is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm. Street parking is available.

 The Contemporary Art Modern Project  is pleased to welcome March with two new exhibitions and an online exclusive running simultaneously from  March 7–April 4, 2025.

In CAMP’s incubator space,  Jan Brandt’s  solo exhibition,  Between Stillness and Growth , explores the tension between bloom and decay through Brandt’s signature use of playful, tactile materials like puffy paint and glitter. Her Hothouse series navigates the fluid boundary between representation and abstraction, creating compositions that pulse with kinetic energy while incorporating moments of stillness. These textures and compositions invite viewers to pause, reflect, and embrace life’s rhythms, offering both a reflection on transition and an exploration of the cycle between chaos and calm.

Curated by Amy Arechavaleta.

The CAMP Gallery is open  Tuesday–Saturday ,  12 to 5 PM.

For more information, please reach out to our email  hello@thecampgallery.com.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery)

Founded during the height of the pandemic by Melanie Prapopoulos, the gallery has gone on to create a distinctly academic and thought-provoking arts program in North Miami, and beyond. As a gallery, The CAMP remains steadfast in transparency both for the artist and for the collector, building bridges and connections from creation to acquisition. With a robust local and international roster, the gallery represents artists working in textiles and fiber, painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. Looking at art, as a whole, through a reactionary and interdisciplinary approach, the gallery operates as a space wherein creativity and reality co-exist.

Join Ramblin' Dan Stevens for an entertaining and educational program encompassing the history of the Blues music in America, from its origins in the African American tradition of the deep south to the present.

Hear classic blues pieces played on authentic vintage instruments interspersed with historical images, video and educational material. The music is traced chronologically through its development in different regions of the south and follows the great African American migration to important centers like Memphis, Chicago and beyond. The roots of rock and roll, jazz and even hip hop can be traced to this important form. Of special interest are pieces performed on Dan's homemade, three stringed "Cigar Box Guitar" and one stringed "Diddley Bow", both primitive instruments used by early bluesmen and played with a "bottleneck" slide.

Presenter "Ramblin" Dan Stevens is a veteran touring bluesman and teacher who has entertained audiences throughout the US, Germany, UK, Canada and Virgin Islands. As a finalist in the International Blues Challenge on Beale St. in Memphis TN and protege of the legendary folk/blues icon, Dave Van Ronk, Dan has been lauded for his ability as a raconteur and for the authenticity of his approach gained by many years on the road as a traveling blues musician.

Westport Country Playhouse stages the comedy Theatre People from Mar. 25 - Apr. 12

Who doesn’t love theatre people? It’s 1948, and the brightest names on Broadway have descended upon a glamorous Newport mansion for a weekend of romance, chaos, and more than a few misunderstandings. Join an unforgettable cast of characters populated by a pair of scheming playwrights, a couple of misbehaving actors, a star-struck young author and a disgruntled housekeeper for a comedy that’s a love letter to the theatre and all the people who make it. Author Paul Slade Smith conjures the spirit of the classic screwball comedies of yesteryear with irresistible charm and backstage antics certain to leave you breathless with laughter. After all, who doesn’t love theatre people? Directed by Mark Shanahan, Westport Country Playhouse artistic director.

On view March 7 — May 27 at the SM&NC: Jeremiah Chechik, artist, film director and photographer, is obsessed with the porous boundary between fact and fiction. The subtly investigative prints he creates explore our “post truth” reality, melding 21st century advanced digital design with traditional printing on Hahnemühle paper. The resulting images are more than just visually stunning and thoroughly aesthetic — they also raise key questions about the nature of truth and knowledge in our media-saturated age.

The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Biophilia, an exhibition featuring the work of six women artists: Carol Bouyoucos, Loren Eiferman, Julie Evans, Heide Follin, Christina Massey, and Sui Park. Curated by Ellen Hawley, the show explores the concept of biophilia, a term coined by Harvard naturalist Dr. Edward O. Wilson, referring to humanity’s intrinsic affinity for nature and life.

Drawing inspiration from both real and imagined aspects of the natural world, these artists explore the intersection of nature, imagination, and technology. Their diverse practices reflect personal connections to the environment, sustainability, and the fragility of life. Their works are expressed through a dynamic range of 2D and 3D materials, textures, and colors. Using a range of materials and techniques—from traditional painting to upcycled sculptures—they offer unique perspectives on ecological responsibility and the evolving relationship between humans and the Earth.

Carol Bouyoucos , for example, combines photography and digital tools to create vibrant, surreal landscapes that evoke nature while incorporating technological intervention.  Loren Eiferman  takes a different approach, transforming discarded wood into intricate sculptures inspired by mythical 15th century plant references from The Voynich Manuscript, while weaving in a conversation about ecological healing with her series Nature Will Heal.

Julie Evans ’ earthy ceramic sculptures, with their organic shapes and textures, also seek to bridge the familiar and the unfamiliar that evolve from her background as a painter. Only recently, she recently began making ceramic sculpture. Similarly,  Heide Follin ’s layered botanical imagery on canvas, fabric, or wood panels, reflects her interest in ecosystems and their unseen, energetic connections. The vibrancy and texture of her abstract compositions capture the energy of growing things, evoking both their beauty and complexity.   A quote reads: “My interests in eco-systems include the examinations of things that grow; their energies, gestures, movements, entanglements, textures and personalities.”

Christina Massey ’s uses repurposed aluminum cans to create colorful, abstract works that merge painting, sculpture, and sustainability, incorporating glass blown elements she recently learned to create. The otherworldly, colorful abstractions she creates live somewhere between that of painting and sculpture, craft and fine art, process based and conceptual. 

Lastly,  Sui Park  manipulates industrial materials like plastic zip ties to form dynamic, biomorphic sculptures that reflect nature’s subtle transformations. They are non–durable, disposable, trivial, inexpensive and easily consumed materials. Park writes, “I often find these moments from nature. 

I think nature allows us to pause and find things that have been overlooked and are inspiring. Through these forms, I attempt to express seemingly static yet dynamic characteristics of our evolving lives. While they resemble transitions and transformations of nature, the forms are to capture subtle but continuous changes in our emotions, sentiments, memories and expectations.”

Biophilia invites viewers to pause and reconsider their relationship with the natural world, offering reimagined life forms and reinterpreted landscapes through the artists' unique visions.

Events: 

  • Opening reception: Thursday, March 13, 2025, from 6-8pm
  • Artist Talk: Sunday, March 30 @ 2 pm 
  • Greenwich Library Friend’s Friday Film: Date TBA

Biophilia is curated by Flinn Gallery committee member Ellen Hawley. The Flinn Gallery is a non-profit organization sponsored by the Friends of Greenwich Library and is located on the second floor of the Library at 101 Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT. The Gallery welcomes visitors daily Mon. to Sat., 10am-5pm, Thurs. until 8pm, and Sun. 1-5pm.

Heide Follin, the recipient of the 73rd A-ONE Exhibition Board Chair Grand Prize, draws her inspiration from nature. She transforms natural elements into lyrical organic abstractions, inviting viewers to explore new worlds and patterns. Photographs of botanical specimens and landscapes capture the energetic forms that call out to her as she wanders through the garden. She uses color in her drawings and paintings to describe natural phenomena. As you immerse yourself in Heide's creations, you'll be captivated by the interplay of color, texture, and form, each painting offering a unique visual and tactile experience. Her art not only reveals the beauty of nature but also evokes a sense of wonder and discovery.
