Each year, the Friends of Tilton meet to elect a board of governors and approve an annual budget.  There will be a special program following the business portion of the meeting with Deerfield artist Adrienne Cremins.  All are welcome.

Artist’s Talk – Deerfield Impressions – A Plein Air Journey

Learning something new is one of the joys of life.  Learning to paint en plein air has been both a joy and an enormous challenge.  Planning, equipment, practice routine, bugs, working with changing light, and talking to folks you meet while working.  One year into becoming a plein air painter, I feel that I've barely scratched the surface.  Plein air has given me an entirelyy new perspective on what and how to paint.  I am looking forward to sharing this work-in-progress.  Adrienne Cremins This special program is part of the Friends of Tilton Library annual meeting.  For more information contact Sara Woodbury at tiltonlibrary@cwmars.org

Art at Tilton

I am pleased to be showing mostly recent oil paintings at the Tilton Library. Some of you probably know my daughter, her husband and family, Raloon and Grant, Maddie and Soren Bialek and Pat Thompson who live nearby. I live in Vermont, and also spend time in NYC and South Deerfield. I love drawing and painting and have been doing it since I was six, never stopped. I have a Bachelor of Fine Art from Cooper Union and studied at the New York Studio School. I have taught art from kindergarten up thru graduate college level for thirty five years most recently at Johnson State College in Vermont. My gallery is in NYC, Blue Mountain Gallery, where I will have a show in May, 2017. You might have seen works I showed with Jane Trigere at The Arts Bank. and at the Deerfield Gallery a few years ago. I almost always paint from actual life, that is how I find the most interesting forms, however I also love other kinds of art and things people make. Art is an idea in a sensuous form.
