Artist Talk/Demo with Catherine Mansell

Join Catherine Mansell at her upcoming art talk, hosted by Hygienic Art Gallery. Talk and demonstration will occur Saturday, March 15th, from 2-4 pm, at 79 Bank Street, conveniently located near the Amtrak Station in downtown New London, Connecticut.

​

Catherine, known for her distinctive fusion of art traditions, will guide you through her world of encaustic fresco painting. Her works are based on the enduring beauty of historical techniques. However they also reflect the combination of her Asian brush painting training with the use of rich textures of wax and buon fresco. Each artwork seeks to capture the quiet beauty that can be found in timeworn walls.

​

During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to hear Catherine describe her creative process, as she shares insights into her inspirations and the connection she feels with creating these surfaces . 

​

Following the talk, an artist's reception will offer guests the opportunity to engage directly with Catherine while enjoying a selection of refreshments. This event is an excellent opportunity for both art aficionados and the culturally curious to engage with an artist whose work challenges the conventional and celebrates those that created surfaces for ancient frescos.

​

Mark your calendars for an inspiring afternoon that promises to enrich your appreciation of art that is respectful of the past but also resonates with the contemporary world.
