— an announcement from Rowayton Arts Center (RAC)

“At the Table” Chair Amy Schott (left) with RAC Exhibiting Artists Britt Bair (middle) and Hanneke Goedkoop (right) as Britt drops off her \”Birthday Dinner\” painting for RAC\’s Community Sponsored Awards show – exhibition opens this Sunday w/a reception from 4 to 6 pm.
The judge, Westport artist Heidi Palmer, focuses on three elements in her work: light, air and the meaning of time. Light governs her compositions, defines form and serves as the catalyst for delving into the ephemeral effects of air and atmosphere, which clarify the painting’s sense of place.
Heidi attended L’École des Beaux Arts de Montréal, Canada, and earned a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows around New England and has paintings included in public collections such as the New York Presbyterian Medical Center and the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City, as well as Hunter Museum of Art in Chattanooga.
