Featured Artist for 2024 Newtown Arts Festival
Meet Karen Ciocca
With banners being flown by our autumn migrating goose, the work of Ansonia resident Karen Cipocca has been chosen as the signature art of the 2024 Newtown Arts Festival, (https://newtownartsfestival.com/) set for September 16-18, with an opening concert on Friday night, September 15th on the grounds of the Festival in Fairfield Hills.
Karen discribes her work as a long ago memory. "This is the Fairfield Hills pretty clock tower adorning one of the buildings, they were once a beautiful work of craftmanship. My grandmother lived there for years in her illness, I loved the buildings..”
Everything is Drawn by hand in procreate. Except the type. I placed the Canada goose and leaves as the approach of autumn and season change.
