Serene Moments: Opening Reception and Artist Meet & Greet
You are invited to join Sorelle Gallery for the upcoming two-person exhibition, Serene Moments, showcasing all new artwork by local Connecticut artists Tracie Cheng and Stephanie Johnson. The exhibition will open on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at Sorelle Gallery in downtown Westport, CT with a reception from 3:00 – 5:00pm, during which guests are invited to browse the show, meet the artists, and enjoy light refreshments.
Tracie Cheng attended the University of Texas in Austin and graduated with a degree in architecture. After several years, her desire to shape environments shifted from architecture to visual arts. Her style channels aspects of Chinese brush painting and abstraction, with some architectural sensibilities sprinkled throughout, continually shaped by the beauty and intricacies of the different cultures and stories around her. Tracie has shown her work at galleries in Los Angeles, New York City, Vancouver, and Shanghai, and her paintings are in public and private collections all over the world.
Stephanie Johnson lives in Washington, CT, in a home that has been in her family for four generations. Her professional foray into the arts began with a BFA in Graphic Design followed by a career in packaging design. After having children and stepping away from the professional art world, she realized that her creativity needed an outlet. Inspired by the scenery of Litchfield County, she began painting - noticing the light, the passing of the seasons, and dramatic weather changes. These rich, meaningful moments, she feels, connect us with the earth, and she hopes to reflect that in her work.
Serene Moments will be on view at Sorelle Gallery through September 28, 2025. The show and associated opening reception are free and open to the public. Street parking is available. This is a family friendly event. Dogs welcome. Find more information about this event and exhibiting artists at sorellegallery.com.
