Merion Frolich is a member of Rowayton Arts Center, Connecticut Women Artists, Stamford Art Association and New Canaan Center for Arts.
She has been in a number of local shows, including Women Artists at Discovery Museum, Mavis Fenner at Rowayton Arts, Spectrum, John Slade Ely House and Rowayton Co-op Nursery Show and Atria Darien.
“I love the interplay of light and dark, line against space in painting,” Frolich says. “Water gives me great opportunity to juxtapose space and light and shapes. I grew up in mountain country and massive shapes against sky fascinate me.”
Ronda Lanzi studied oil painting at Loomis Chaffee school in Windsor and took courses in painting and architecture while completing her degree in electrical engineering at Tufts University.
