HAS Faculty Members Ellen Carey and Terry Feder, have been selected as two of the artists featured at a new exhibition at the Hill-Stead Museum. The Hill-Stead Museum’s first Annual Juried Members Exhibition Modern Day Monet is intended to connect present day artists with the museum’s natural beauty and collection masterworks. The exhibition will be on view from April 27 through May 26.
It was also just announced that Terry Feder won first prize for her painting in the exhibition. Feder is an adjunct professor at the Hartford Art School.
The exhibition features artists who are inspired by nature and light. The juror for the exhibition is William O’Reilly, now head of his own private dealership, Argonaut Fine Art. O’Reilly’s career has included working in auction houses such as Christie's, Bonhams Auctioneers, and galleries such as Dickinson Gallery New York.
The Hill-Stead Museum, a National Historic Landmark, develops, preserves, documents, and displays Impressionist paintings in its 1901 historic house and 152-acre landscape in Farmington, CT.
Carey’s work is shown widely, and she continues to have an array of exhibitions. One of Carey’s recent two-part solo exhibitions Struck By Light was on display at the New Britain Museum of American Art from July 2023 through January 2024. One of her other current exhibits is on view at the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling in New York through May 26.
