Greetings!
Happy Fall!
We're proud to present our October exhibit, “Coastal Tranquility,” featuring the seaside paintings of Darien artist, Carolyn Childs. Her mindful seascapes, painted in the expressive encaustic method, will be on display through October 28.
Looking for a one-of-a-kind gift? Think of a custom-made shadowbox by Accent Picture Framing of a favorite collection, memento, or items commemorating a special event or accomplishment. Stop by and let us make it into a unique gift of art!
Plus, if you have damaged oil paintings or frames, let us clean and restore them to their former beauty. Our restorations are on display at museums and galleries throughout the country.
We hope to see you at the gallery this month!
Sincerely,
Anne & Tom Geary

About Carolyn Childs
Painter Carolyn Childs is a Connecticut native, certified art teacher, and Darien mom. She is inspired by the New England coast and pulls from its beauty for her paintings.
The shoreline has always been an integral part of her life. The paintings in this exhibit draw from a view of calm and mindful presence.
The paintings are all encaustic, an ancient painting method in which wax and pigment are fused onto a surface with heat. Childs uses a small travel-size iron as her main tool. The iron is used as her palette and for applying the wax to the substrate. She uses careful management of heat and manipulation of the iron to create sublime scenes.
The small artworks engage the viewer to look closer and be present in the moment. These original compact paintings beautifully provide an elevated aesthetic experience.
Childs is a certified K-12 art teacher, and has a BFA in Creative Arts Therapy, and an MA in Art Education Leadership, with a focus on mindfulness and art.
