Along with Ridgefield’s Aldrich and Keeler Tavern and the Watershed Gallery, Suzanne Benton’s Studio & Art Showcase is open to the art-loving public on Saturday, June 14, from 1 to 4 at 22 Donnelly Drive. It’s her seventh year participating in the Connecticut CT Commission on Culture and Tourism’s Open House Day.
She will exhibit From Paintings in Proust II, artworks originally inspired by Ridgefield Library’s lecture and book discussion on Swann’s Way, Volume I of Marcel Proust’s famed lengthy novel À la recherche du temps perdu.
Ms. Benton has spent more than a year on this series, traveling to Paris, the Giverny Monet Gardens, to Rome and Assisi to see and draw upon the paintings and classical artists referenced in the novel. PMW Gallery, 530 Roxbury Road, Stamford CT 06802 is exhibiting From Paintings in Proust I through June 29 with the artist’s Walk &Talk on Sunday, June 15, noon.
Refreshments will be served. Visitors are asked to please park on the right side of the road.
