Danbury Artist, Megan Marden will exhibit paintings in the lobby of the Ridgefield Playhouse, as part of its 109 Cheese and Wine “Art Wine & Jazz” series on Sunday, May 17 at 1:00 pm.
Marden’s paintings off still-lifes and interior spaces merge sensitive observation and an earnest nod to painting’s history with a quirky, personal sensibility. “I want each painting to be an accurate reflection of my own experiences while creating it – I try to create paintings that are honest, vulnerable, and contain a character beyond the visual,” she says of her work.
Marden received her MFA in painting from Western Connecticut State University in 2012. Over the past three years she has exhibited her work in Connecticut and New York, including exhibitions at the UConn Stamford Art Gallery, The Arts Council of New Haven, Trinity College, and Blue Mountain Gallery in New York City. She is the recipient of painting awards from The Washington Art Association and Western Connecticut State University. In 2014 she was named a “Top Up and Coming Visual Artist” by CBS Connecticut.
Tickets are $35 and $25 for students, and can be purchased from the Ridgefield Playhouse Box Office. Megan Marden’s work is presented by Watershed Gallery. For more information, please visit watershedgallery.com or contact the gallery at 203.438.4387.
