The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will present Todd M. Casey demonstrating a still life in oil on Tuesday evening, June 9, at 7:30 pm, at Newtown Senior Center, 8 Simpson Street.

The demonstration is open to the public and admission is free.

Casey is an artist, author, and teacher who was born and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts. Casey’s work touches on more than simplistic realism. His work is classically styled but progressive in approach. Every painting has a tale to tell, brewed from a deep well of introspective thought. He has authored the best-selling books The Art of Still Life and The Oil Painter’s Color Handbook through Monacelli/Phaidon Press. He is currently working on two more books due out in the fall of ’26 and the fall of ’27.

He also periodically writes for Artist’s Magazine and International Artist’s Magazine. When not painting, writing, or illustrating, Casey teaches at Lyme Academy of Fine Art, and through private online classes and workshops.

Reservations are not required for SCAN programs but additional information may be available at SCANart.org.
