DERBY - Come enjoy original artwork by Agnes Wnuk at the Kellogg Environmental Center, 500 Hawthorne Ave.
A collection of her acrylic and watercolor pieces is the featured exhibit for the month of June. Guests are invited to enjoy the works and walk the Kellogg Estate gardens.
A ‘Meet the Artist Reception’ will be held from 2-4 p.m. June 26. Guests will visit the Center to view the paintings of florals and garden scenes, meet Agnes to learn about her methods and inspirations, and enjoy her travel sketchbooks documenting her trips and travels.
Each year Connecticut’s Historic Gardens collaborative hosts a poster contest promoting CT Historic Gardens Day.
Agnes is the featured artist on this year’s poster. CT State Parks is proud to have the Osborne Homestead Museum as the featured site and Agnes’ original painting is part of her show at the Center.
In the last six years, Agnes has expanded to exploring colored pencil, oils, pastels, watercolors, and urban sketching.
She has sketched on location in Bermuda, St. Maarten, Mallorca, Spain, and Key West, as well as around New England, New York State and Colorado. She also took part in the annual Urban Sketchers Symposium in Amsterdam in July 2019, completing an entire sketchbook during a weeklong excursion.
