The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will welcome Adele Moros as its guest artist for the first program of the new year.

The current president of SCAN, Ms Moros will be at Newtown Meeting House (lower level), 31 Main Street, on Wednesday, January 8, at 7:30 pm. She will demonstrate how she paints using alcohol ink and watercolor on Yupo.

The public is invited, and there is no charge.

Adele Moros is a multi-media artist with a background in fashion illustration. She studied at Phoenix School, Parsons School of Design, and with numerous well-known painters, including Daniel Greene. For the past 35 years, she has been teaching fine art.

In 2000, her Tiffany Cow auctioned for $60,000 at the NYC Cow Parade. Slides of that cow are in the permanent collection of The Met and are shown during Tiffany lectures.

Since then, she has continued to create public art pieces for Boston, New Haven, and Stamford. A number of these pieces now reside in Japan and England. Her faux stained-glass Porto Potty was reviewed by Jim Bishoff in the Newark Star Ledger as a “show stopper.”

Ms Moros is a Fellow with the International Guild of Miniature Artisans. Several of her 1-inch scale paintings are in the Toy and Miniature Museum of Kentucky.

Her paintings both large and small are in more than 700 private, public, and corporate collections. She is represented by Fine Line Art Gallery in Woodbury and Gallery 25 in New Milford.

In addition to serving as SCAN’s president, she is a member of North East Watercolor Society.

Reservations are not needed for SCAN programs, but additional information is available at scanart.org.
