February brings Kazaan Viveiros to the Weir Farm Artist-in-Residence program. Kazaan’s work is an extension of the series of tree paintings she began during her 2010 Weir Farm residency. These were inspired by the trees surrounding the cottage as she spent her time walking through the woods, taking photos, and painting trees. Her current project will continue her exploration of the relationship between man and nature creating work that resides at the point of intersection between the environment and our experience of it. See registration link for details. Co-sponsored by Weir Farm Art Center and Weir Farm National Historic Site and presented by Wilton Library. No charge. Registration suggested. Register online or call 203-762-6334.

September brings Deborah Pierce Bonnell to the Weir Farm Artist-in-Residence program. As an artist focused on the landscape, trees and plants, Bonnell is tantalized at the thought of spending weeks in the meadows of Weir Farm, and plans to reinterpret scenes that CT impressionists found there 100 years ago. She enjoys painting in oil on canvas and watercolor, but also makes monoprints, and paints in encaustics, a form of pigmented wax.  Co-sponsored by Weir Farm Art Center and Weir Farm National Historic Site and presented by Wilton Library. No charge. Registration suggested.
