Monthly Meetings and Artist Demonstrations
Held the 1st Wednesday of the Month

No meetings in July, August or January

Studio Time @ the Cheshire Public Library - Free and Open to the Public 
Every Friday, from 1-3, the Cheshire Library has graciously scheduled open studio time for teen/adults, upstairs in the loft (elevator accessible), who would be interested in painting along with other artists. Our art league is very excited to be to involved in this program!
The only request that we have is for the oil painters - please DO NOT bring turpentine. Turpenoide is an odorless agent to use in it's place. Bring your work-in-progress and supplies to this weekly drop-in art program. This is an opportunity to create in a collaborative environment with other artists. No formal instruction will be provided, but informal critiquing for those who welcome it is encouraged.

​Cancellations/time change will be reflected on the Cheshire Library calendar:  cheshirelibrary.libcal.com/  or call 203-272-2245
We look forward to painting with you!

Meeting & Featured Artist:

Lisa Waring

Wednesday April 5, 2023
6:30 pm
Cheshire Public Library - Mary Baldwin Room, Main Level
Lisa Waring is a self taught artist based out of New Haven. Growing up, Lisa was always interested in drawing and painting. At the start of the pandemic in 2020, she found herself with too much time on her hands and created a handmade clock based off of a drawing she made. Friends and family took notice and asked if she was selling them, so she eventually decided to take a leap of faith and open an Etsy shop. 

Since then, she has set up a successful small business on Etsy with over 30 sales and consistent 5-star reviews. In the last year and a half, her clocks were entered into numerous fairs to showcase and sell her work. Lisa has created a large catalog of beautiful, colorful wall clocks giving potential buyers many options to complement the design and color schemes of their home.

Lisa also works as a full time validation engineer in Clinton. She lives with her two cats and spends her free time singing, reading, and cooking.​
