Heather Gaudio Fine Art is pleased to present Formal Approaches, featuring works by Hyun Jung Ahn, Mojé Assefjah, Mio Yamato and Nadia Yaron. The exhibition will be on view October 4 – November 15.
The artists in the show share varied yet distinct formal approaches to their creative process. Through abstraction, they explore themes around emotional and psychological spaces and how natural elements shape our physical worlds and surroundings.
About the Artists:
Hyun Jung Ahn presents her ongoing investigations into memory, psychological interiorities, and the interpretation of emotional states of being. Offering an interplay between color and form, her paintings create a balanced composition made with different pieces of linen or canvas that are painted and stitched together. An artist-in-residency program at MASS MoCA in 2018 led Ahn to discover a new way to make a mark and create a line by using a sewing machine. Since then, the sewn thread has become integral to her work, offering Ahn a way to explore chance and geometric abstraction by dividing, fragmenting and joining different shapes on the picture plane. Coupled with a thoughtfully colored palette or more muted, monochromatic tones, Ahn’s paintings are eloquent modernist abstractions. Ahn has exhibited widely in the United States and in Korea, where she also teaches. Her works are represented in many private and corporate collections including TD Bank Corporation Art Collection, Toronto.
Mojé Assefjah was born in Tehran and moved to Germany with her family in 1986 where she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. She later did artist-in-residency programs in Rome and Spain. This is the first time the artist exhibits in the United States and the exhibition is made possible with the collaboration of Galerie Tanit in Munich. Working with traditional egg tempera, Assefjah paints vividly chromatic works that are heavily influenced by the Italian Old Masters, miniature Persian paintings and calligraphy. Referencing still life and landscape genres, the artist’s luminous, jeweled toned paintings are tableaus into alternate spaces, distant landscapes or dream-like visions into what lies beyond a doorway or window. Assefjah updates these depictions to our current times by straddling representation and abstraction. The artist has participated in various solo and group exhibitions in Europe and the Near East and her paintings are in notable private and public collections including Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich; Gabriele Münter and Johannes Eichner Foundation, Munich; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; Guangdon Art Museum, China; Colección olorVISUAL, Barcelona; KICO Sammlung, Allianz Versicherungen, Münchner Rück, Munich; and BIZ, Bank für Internationale Zahlungsausgleich, Basel.
Mio Yamato takes on a near ritualistic approach to her accumulation of dotted and linear gestures, creating densely layered imagery. With her signature marks, Yamato’s paintings evoke organic phenomena, geological terrains and other patterns seen in natural formations. Her works explore notions of universality, systems and ever-changing continuums that occur on the micro and macro scale. Whether using the dot or line as a mark, the artist shifts the direction and patterns as she works allowing for chance to take over her process. Yamato is also known for creating monumental site-specific mural installations, such as Under My Skin at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum. The artist hails from Kyoto and has exhibited widely in Asia in group and solo exhibitions. She has also been the recipient of numerous awards including an artist residency program at Fundación Casa Wabi in Oaxaca, Mexico. This is the third time HGFA features Yamato in an exhibition in the United States, thanks to the collaboration with COHJU Contemporary in Kyoto.
Nadia Yaron takes a unique approach to represent and experience the landscape as a genre. Drawing inspiration from the vast vistas provided by landscapes, Yaron reduces the bands of sky, tiers of land in the distance and closer topographies in the foreground into columnar sculptures. The artist carves and sands different types of stone, such as alabaster, marble and other locally sourced stone, and salvaged wood. She shapes each piece finishing them in varying textures, all the while following their natural veins and grains and working around their natural characteristics. Once each piece is finished, Yaron stacks the pieces together into a singular column, simplifying the visual layers of a landscape, bringing the boundless spaces and terrains to a human scale. Through these vertical structures, the Brazilian-born American artist references impermanence and our relationship with nature. Yaron has had many solo and group exhibitions in the United States, and her sculptures are highly sought after by collectors here and abroad.
Heather Gaudio Fine Art specializes in emerging and established artists, offering painting, works on paper, photography, and sculpture. The gallery provides a full-range of art advisory services, from forming and maintaining a collection, to securing secondary market material, to assisting with framing and installation.

The Mayor's Gallery presents "ART?
Flowers and greenery are an important part of the unique history of Greenwich.
This season, the Historical Society is thrilled to partner with the Greenwich Botanical Center to host a three-part family-friendly workshop series dedicated to the history and science behind floral arts that make Greenwich special.
Open to all ages, the first workshop is inspired by the vibrant floral arrangements and illustrations from the Cos Cob artists who once called the Bush-Holley House, or the Holley Boarding House as it was known to them at the end of the 1800s, home. These artists enjoyed the bright and vivid hues of both native and exotic flowers and incorporated them into their artistry. Documented in the Greenwich Historical Society collection, artists, such as Genjiro Yeto, brought Japanese ikebana floral arranging techniques to other Cos Cob artists of the boarding house. Boarding house owner Constant Holley-MacRae became a renowned floral arranger, while the floral paintings and carvings from her husband Elmer Livingston MacRae can be seen in masterpieces across the Historical Society campus.

Heather Gaudio Fine Art is pleased to present Formal Approaches, featuring works by Hyun Jung Ahn, Mojé Assefjah, Mio Yamato and Nadia Yaron. The exhibition will be on view October 4 – November 15.
The artists in the show share varied yet distinct formal approaches to their creative process. Through abstraction, they explore themes around emotional and psychological spaces and how natural elements shape our physical worlds and surroundings.
About the Artists:
Hyun Jung Ahn presents her ongoing investigations into memory, psychological interiorities, and the interpretation of emotional states of being. Offering an interplay between color and form, her paintings create a balanced composition made with different pieces of linen or canvas that are painted and stitched together. An artist-in-residency program at MASS MoCA in 2018 led Ahn to discover a new way to make a mark and create a line by using a sewing machine. Since then, the sewn thread has become integral to her work, offering Ahn a way to explore chance and geometric abstraction by dividing, fragmenting and joining different shapes on the picture plane. Coupled with a thoughtfully colored palette or more muted, monochromatic tones, Ahn’s paintings are eloquent modernist abstractions. Ahn has exhibited widely in the United States and in Korea, where she also teaches. Her works are represented in many private and corporate collections including TD Bank Corporation Art Collection, Toronto.
Mojé Assefjah was born in Tehran and moved to Germany with her family in 1986 where she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. She later did artist-in-residency programs in Rome and Spain. This is the first time the artist exhibits in the United States and the exhibition is made possible with the collaboration of Galerie Tanit in Munich. Working with traditional egg tempera, Assefjah paints vividly chromatic works that are heavily influenced by the Italian Old Masters, miniature Persian paintings and calligraphy. Referencing still life and landscape genres, the artist’s luminous, jeweled toned paintings are tableaus into alternate spaces, distant landscapes or dream-like visions into what lies beyond a doorway or window. Assefjah updates these depictions to our current times by straddling representation and abstraction. The artist has participated in various solo and group exhibitions in Europe and the Near East and her paintings are in notable private and public collections including Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich; Gabriele Münter and Johannes Eichner Foundation, Munich; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; Guangdon Art Museum, China; Colección olorVISUAL, Barcelona; KICO Sammlung, Allianz Versicherungen, Münchner Rück, Munich; and BIZ, Bank für Internationale Zahlungsausgleich, Basel.
Mio Yamato takes on a near ritualistic approach to her accumulation of dotted and linear gestures, creating densely layered imagery. With her signature marks, Yamato’s paintings evoke organic phenomena, geological terrains and other patterns seen in natural formations. Her works explore notions of universality, systems and ever-changing continuums that occur on the micro and macro scale. Whether using the dot or line as a mark, the artist shifts the direction and patterns as she works allowing for chance to take over her process. Yamato is also known for creating monumental site-specific mural installations, such as Under My Skin at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum. The artist hails from Kyoto and has exhibited widely in Asia in group and solo exhibitions. She has also been the recipient of numerous awards including an artist residency program at Fundación Casa Wabi in Oaxaca, Mexico. This is the third time HGFA features Yamato in an exhibition in the United States, thanks to the collaboration with COHJU Contemporary in Kyoto.
Nadia Yaron takes a unique approach to represent and experience the landscape as a genre. Drawing inspiration from the vast vistas provided by landscapes, Yaron reduces the bands of sky, tiers of land in the distance and closer topographies in the foreground into columnar sculptures. The artist carves and sands different types of stone, such as alabaster, marble and other locally sourced stone, and salvaged wood. She shapes each piece finishing them in varying textures, all the while following their natural veins and grains and working around their natural characteristics. Once each piece is finished, Yaron stacks the pieces together into a singular column, simplifying the visual layers of a landscape, bringing the boundless spaces and terrains to a human scale. Through these vertical structures, the Brazilian-born American artist references impermanence and our relationship with nature. Yaron has had many solo and group exhibitions in the United States, and her sculptures are highly sought after by collectors here and abroad.

After the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, a trip from coast-to-coast that used to take months was shortened to just under a week, allowing for the transport of goods and ideas across the continent in ways previously inconceivable. Profit-seeking corporations and the American government financed it, but the people who actually built it and who were most affected by it are the focus of this program of music – Indigenous and African Americans as well as Irish, Chinese, Japanese, and other immigrant laborers whose contributions have been largely erased from history. Silkroad’s American Railroad seeks to right these past wrongs by highlighting untold stories and amplifying unheard voices from these communities, painting a more accurate picture of the global diasporic origin of the American empire.
The American Railroad tour program includes commissioned pieces by jazz artist Cécile McLorin Salvant and film composer Michael Abels, as well as Silkroad artist and renowned pipa player Wu Man and Silkroad artist Layale Chaker. It also includes re-envisioned arrangements of folk songs by Silkroad artistic director, Rhiannon Giddens, and fellow Silkroad artists Haruka Fujii and Maeve Gilchrist.
Funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.

Music Theatre of Connecticut (MTC) MainStage, Fairfield County’s award-winning professional theatre company, continues their 39th season with the wild and hilarious comedy, Ken Ludwig’s The Fox on the Fairway. Set on the manicured greens of an elite golf club, this farce is full of outrageous antics, romantic entanglements, and uproarious misunderstandings. The production runs from November 7th through the 23rd with performances on Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm & 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm.
A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, A Fox on the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp pulling the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man's eternal love affair with... golf.

Heather Gaudio Fine Art is pleased to present Formal Approaches, featuring works by Hyun Jung Ahn, Mojé Assefjah, Mio Yamato and Nadia Yaron. The exhibition will be on view October 4 – November 15.
The artists in the show share varied yet distinct formal approaches to their creative process. Through abstraction, they explore themes around emotional and psychological spaces and how natural elements shape our physical worlds and surroundings.
About the Artists:
Hyun Jung Ahn presents her ongoing investigations into memory, psychological interiorities, and the interpretation of emotional states of being. Offering an interplay between color and form, her paintings create a balanced composition made with different pieces of linen or canvas that are painted and stitched together. An artist-in-residency program at MASS MoCA in 2018 led Ahn to discover a new way to make a mark and create a line by using a sewing machine. Since then, the sewn thread has become integral to her work, offering Ahn a way to explore chance and geometric abstraction by dividing, fragmenting and joining different shapes on the picture plane. Coupled with a thoughtfully colored palette or more muted, monochromatic tones, Ahn’s paintings are eloquent modernist abstractions. Ahn has exhibited widely in the United States and in Korea, where she also teaches. Her works are represented in many private and corporate collections including TD Bank Corporation Art Collection, Toronto.
Mojé Assefjah was born in Tehran and moved to Germany with her family in 1986 where she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. She later did artist-in-residency programs in Rome and Spain. This is the first time the artist exhibits in the United States and the exhibition is made possible with the collaboration of Galerie Tanit in Munich. Working with traditional egg tempera, Assefjah paints vividly chromatic works that are heavily influenced by the Italian Old Masters, miniature Persian paintings and calligraphy. Referencing still life and landscape genres, the artist’s luminous, jeweled toned paintings are tableaus into alternate spaces, distant landscapes or dream-like visions into what lies beyond a doorway or window. Assefjah updates these depictions to our current times by straddling representation and abstraction. The artist has participated in various solo and group exhibitions in Europe and the Near East and her paintings are in notable private and public collections including Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich; Gabriele Münter and Johannes Eichner Foundation, Munich; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; Guangdon Art Museum, China; Colección olorVISUAL, Barcelona; KICO Sammlung, Allianz Versicherungen, Münchner Rück, Munich; and BIZ, Bank für Internationale Zahlungsausgleich, Basel.
Mio Yamato takes on a near ritualistic approach to her accumulation of dotted and linear gestures, creating densely layered imagery. With her signature marks, Yamato’s paintings evoke organic phenomena, geological terrains and other patterns seen in natural formations. Her works explore notions of universality, systems and ever-changing continuums that occur on the micro and macro scale. Whether using the dot or line as a mark, the artist shifts the direction and patterns as she works allowing for chance to take over her process. Yamato is also known for creating monumental site-specific mural installations, such as Under My Skin at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum. The artist hails from Kyoto and has exhibited widely in Asia in group and solo exhibitions. She has also been the recipient of numerous awards including an artist residency program at Fundación Casa Wabi in Oaxaca, Mexico. This is the third time HGFA features Yamato in an exhibition in the United States, thanks to the collaboration with COHJU Contemporary in Kyoto.
Nadia Yaron takes a unique approach to represent and experience the landscape as a genre. Drawing inspiration from the vast vistas provided by landscapes, Yaron reduces the bands of sky, tiers of land in the distance and closer topographies in the foreground into columnar sculptures. The artist carves and sands different types of stone, such as alabaster, marble and other locally sourced stone, and salvaged wood. She shapes each piece finishing them in varying textures, all the while following their natural veins and grains and working around their natural characteristics. Once each piece is finished, Yaron stacks the pieces together into a singular column, simplifying the visual layers of a landscape, bringing the boundless spaces and terrains to a human scale. Through these vertical structures, the Brazilian-born American artist references impermanence and our relationship with nature. Yaron has had many solo and group exhibitions in the United States, and her sculptures are highly sought after by collectors here and abroad.
Heather Gaudio Fine Art specializes in emerging and established artists, offering painting, works on paper, photography, and sculpture. The gallery provides a full-range of art advisory services, from forming and maintaining a collection, to securing secondary market material, to assisting with framing and installation. The focus is on each individual client, selecting art that best serves his or her vision, space, and resources. The six exhibitions offered every year are designed to present important talent and provide artwork appealing to a broad range of interests. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday; 10:30am to 5:30pm; and by appointment.

Opening reception: Saturday, November 8, 1-4 PM
Exhibit: November 8, 2025 to January 10, 2026
Gallery hours: Thursday to Saturday, 12-4 PM, and by appointment
Crown Gallery is proud to present Margins of Memory, an exciting new exhibit that brings together six international artists who currently reside in New York but span five different countries of origin, offering a global yet deeply personal meditation on memory and healing through the expanded mediums of print, papermaking, collage, and installation. In a world increasingly marked by displacement, fragmentation, and collective grief, these artists turn to the tactile intimacy of works on paper-etchings, monoprints, handmade pulp, and experimental processes-as a way to trace the fragile imprints of memory: personal, ancestral, and imagined.
Paper, as both surface and substance, holds and reveals. Its fibers retain touch, absorb pigment, and fray with time. In this exhibition, curated by Sariah Park, paper becomes a vessel for healing: a space where trauma can be transmuted, and stories-once silenced-can find form. Despite vast cultural and geographical distances, each artist finds a shared language in the medium itself. Printmaking, with its cycles of layering, pressing, and repetition, echoes the rituals of remembering and forgetting. The handmade sheet becomes an archive; the printed image, a gesture of reclaiming.
Together, these works invite viewers not only to look but to feel-to engage with memory not as static record, but as a living, breathing process of making and mending.
Participating artists include Emilie Houssart, Holland/U.K., Hayoon Jay Lee, South Korea, Anette Millington, USA, Malgorzata Oakes, Poland, Sariah Park, USA, and Xuewu Zheng, China
Margins of Memory opens on Saturday, November 8 with a reception from 1 - 4 PM, and runs through January 10, 2026. The gallery is open Thursday through Saturday, 12 - 4 PM, and by appointment. ADA accessible, free parking.

Music Theatre of Connecticut (MTC) MainStage, Fairfield County’s award-winning professional theatre company, continues their 39th season with the wild and hilarious comedy, Ken Ludwig’s The Fox on the Fairway. Set on the manicured greens of an elite golf club, this farce is full of outrageous antics, romantic entanglements, and uproarious misunderstandings. The production runs from November 7th through the 23rd with performances on Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm & 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm.
A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, A Fox on the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp pulling the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man's eternal love affair with... golf.
The Fox on the Fairway

Heather Gaudio Fine Art is pleased to present Formal Approaches, featuring works by Hyun Jung Ahn, Mojé Assefjah, Mio Yamato and Nadia Yaron. The exhibition will be on view October 4 – November 15.
The artists in the show share varied yet distinct formal approaches to their creative process. Through abstraction, they explore themes around emotional and psychological spaces and how natural elements shape our physical worlds and surroundings.
About the Artists:
Hyun Jung Ahn presents her ongoing investigations into memory, psychological interiorities, and the interpretation of emotional states of being. Offering an interplay between color and form, her paintings create a balanced composition made with different pieces of linen or canvas that are painted and stitched together. An artist-in-residency program at MASS MoCA in 2018 led Ahn to discover a new way to make a mark and create a line by using a sewing machine. Since then, the sewn thread has become integral to her work, offering Ahn a way to explore chance and geometric abstraction by dividing, fragmenting and joining different shapes on the picture plane. Coupled with a thoughtfully colored palette or more muted, monochromatic tones, Ahn’s paintings are eloquent modernist abstractions. Ahn has exhibited widely in the United States and in Korea, where she also teaches. Her works are represented in many private and corporate collections including TD Bank Corporation Art Collection, Toronto.
Mojé Assefjah was born in Tehran and moved to Germany with her family in 1986 where she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. She later did artist-in-residency programs in Rome and Spain. This is the first time the artist exhibits in the United States and the exhibition is made possible with the collaboration of Galerie Tanit in Munich. Working with traditional egg tempera, Assefjah paints vividly chromatic works that are heavily influenced by the Italian Old Masters, miniature Persian paintings and calligraphy. Referencing still life and landscape genres, the artist’s luminous, jeweled toned paintings are tableaus into alternate spaces, distant landscapes or dream-like visions into what lies beyond a doorway or window. Assefjah updates these depictions to our current times by straddling representation and abstraction. The artist has participated in various solo and group exhibitions in Europe and the Near East and her paintings are in notable private and public collections including Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich; Gabriele Münter and Johannes Eichner Foundation, Munich; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; Guangdon Art Museum, China; Colección olorVISUAL, Barcelona; KICO Sammlung, Allianz Versicherungen, Münchner Rück, Munich; and BIZ, Bank für Internationale Zahlungsausgleich, Basel.
Mio Yamato takes on a near ritualistic approach to her accumulation of dotted and linear gestures, creating densely layered imagery. With her signature marks, Yamato’s paintings evoke organic phenomena, geological terrains and other patterns seen in natural formations. Her works explore notions of universality, systems and ever-changing continuums that occur on the micro and macro scale. Whether using the dot or line as a mark, the artist shifts the direction and patterns as she works allowing for chance to take over her process. Yamato is also known for creating monumental site-specific mural installations, such as Under My Skin at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum. The artist hails from Kyoto and has exhibited widely in Asia in group and solo exhibitions. She has also been the recipient of numerous awards including an artist residency program at Fundación Casa Wabi in Oaxaca, Mexico. This is the third time HGFA features Yamato in an exhibition in the United States, thanks to the collaboration with COHJU Contemporary in Kyoto.
Nadia Yaron takes a unique approach to represent and experience the landscape as a genre. Drawing inspiration from the vast vistas provided by landscapes, Yaron reduces the bands of sky, tiers of land in the distance and closer topographies in the foreground into columnar sculptures. The artist carves and sands different types of stone, such as alabaster, marble and other locally sourced stone, and salvaged wood. She shapes each piece finishing them in varying textures, all the while following their natural veins and grains and working around their natural characteristics. Once each piece is finished, Yaron stacks the pieces together into a singular column, simplifying the visual layers of a landscape, bringing the boundless spaces and terrains to a human scale. Through these vertical structures, the Brazilian-born American artist references impermanence and our relationship with nature. Yaron has had many solo and group exhibitions in the United States, and her sculptures are highly sought after by collectors here and abroad.
Heather Gaudio Fine Art specializes in emerging and established artists, offering painting, works on paper, photography, and sculpture. The gallery provides a full-range of art advisory services, from forming and maintaining a collection, to securing secondary market material, to assisting with framing and installation. The focus is on each individual client, selecting art that best serves his or her vision, space, and resources. The six exhibitions offered every year are designed to present important talent and provide artwork appealing to a broad range of interests. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday; 10:30am to 5:30pm; and by appointment.

Stand Together Against Racism (S.T.A.R), in partnership with The Glass House and the Carriage Barn Arts Center will present its third annual Through Your Looking Glass student art showcase that seeks to recognize the role of art, design and/or architecture in advancing social justice related to inclusion, equity and diversity. Fairfield County, CT students of all ages, including college, are invited to create and submit art that reflects how social justice impacts their lives. S.T.A.R seeks art submissions that inspire the viewer to think about social justice explored using art of any medium for expression. This can include paintings, drawings, photography, mixed media, sculpture, videos/film (including TikTok style) or architectural renderings. This is a true showcase, not a competition, and all student art will be exhibited at the Carriage Barn Arts Center in New Canaan with an opening reception to be held on November 16th.
For more information and to register, please visit the S.T.A.R website.

She is also the founder of Doorways to Thinking LLC , offering professional development for teachers that integrates art and sensory experiences into literacy learning.
Darcy’s artwork will remain on exhibit through November 30, 2025 , and all pieces are available for purchase. In the spirit of giving back, 25% of proceeds will be donated to the Arbor Day Foundation , supporting global reforestation and recovery efforts following the Los Angeles wildfires.
The exhibit is open to the public during the Book Shop’s regular hours:
🕙 Monday–Saturday: 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
🕛 Sunday: Noon–5 p.m.
