Artful Women

Shannon Blencowe, Lauren Tryrell and Shannon Gilmore, all from Clinton, and all college art students, present to the community a selection of their paintings and drawings before returning to school in the fall. All three young artists studied with Chester artist Claudia Post for extensive training during high school and recently displayed their work at the Mill Gallery in Chester in an exhibit called Artful Women.  Blencowe attends Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA, Tyrell, attends the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and Gilmore attends Paier College of Art in Hamden.  Influenced by the rising trend of returning to classical realism with a contemporary edge, their works in pastel, oil and colored pencil reflect a strong academic background and mastery of portraiture, still life, figurative works, landscapes and animals.
