May Art Exhibition

Jane R. Gold: Still Lifes and Portraits

During the month of May, the Library features the work of Jane Gold. Gold says: “A West Hartford native, I first began visiting Norfolk in 1960 when I met my college roommate Sally Carr. This led to many trips to Norfolk over the years and a love of rural New England. Following graduation from college I entered the Peace Corps, serving in Liberia for two years. After marriage to Gerry Gold I settled and worked in Washington, DC. In 1987 my family lived in India for a year while my husband was on a Fulbright sponsored program and my son attended the American Embassy School. This experience allowed us to travel extensively in northern India while also learning to admire Indian art and culture. In the early 1990’s while attending the Smithsonian Institution’s Studio Arts Program, I met and started drawing and composition studies with Trinka Margua Simon. This began my formal study using the rich cultural masterpieces of the National Gallery as an inspiration. Eleven years ago we retired to New London, NH, and in 2004 I began studying classical oil painting with teachers who shared my love of Renaissance art. I have always loved and worked with spatial composition in garden design and house renovations. Painting has been for me the logical next level of self-expression, learning from Italian and Dutch masters how to create beauty with color, composition and design.”

The opening reception for Jane Gold is Sunday, May 6 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm.
