Connecticut Society of Portrait Artists


On this website, you will discover our artists, exhibitions, lectures, outings and meetings in and around Connecticut.  CSOPA is dedicated to the encouragement of fine portraiture through exhibition and education.  I have shown my portraits in their national juried exhibitions for the past 4 years and won an honorable mention award in 2005 for my portrait in oils "Sam".  The current exhibition "Faces of Spring" is at the Lyme Art Association in Old Lyme, Connecticut until April 18, 2009 where you can see my pastel "Nuraida".

The gallery is located in downtown Pittsfield in the heart of the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, an area known for its cultural offerings - music, theater and museums. Pittsfield is just over three hours from New York City and a little over two hours from Boston.  I have a charcoal drawing "Sonia" and a pastel nude "Diedre Reclining" in the current exhibit "WOMEN:  Portrait and Figure" which is up until April 18.

Snow Farm is a non-profit arts education program located in Williamsburg, Massachusetts.  It is set on 50 beautiful acres of fields and woodland.  The facility is a blend of historic 200 year old farm buildings and contemporary living and dining accomodations.  Snow Farm provides instruction by professional artisans in a community setting that fosters the common bond of creativity and appreciation for the learning process.  I will be offering a class called "Figures and Portraits:  Art and Soul in Drawing and Painting" April 26-May2, '09.
