FAIRFIELD â Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery, on the campus of Fairfield University, will present âPainting the Landscape and Other Views,â an exhibit of work by artist Suzanne Chamlin. The exhibit will open Thursday, April 12, with a reception from 5 to 7 pm, and will remain on view through May 27. Admission is free and open to the public.

Ms Chamlin will also speak about her work and her artistic process at a Brown-Bag Directorâs Choice lecture on Wednesday, April 18, from 12:30 to 1:30 pm. Admission is $5, and participants are encouraged to bring their own lunch and beverages.

Gallery Director Diana Mille, PhD, recently likened Ms Chamlinâs painting style to the late 19th Century American painting movement called tonalism, stating, âSuzanneâs paintings have an incredible tonalist sensibility, which she makes contemporary through her unique aesthetic conversation with nature.â

The pieces on view will include current paintings as well as a variety of work from the past. A selection of her drawings in ink and ink washes on paper will also be exhibited.

Ms Chamlin paints her landscape on-site, often returning to the same or similar locations for another work.

âWorking on-site â¦ influences my decisions about color and shapes,â said the artist.

Ms Chamlin explains that the âOther Viewsâ referenced in the exhibitionâs title âalso refers to the way that my recent landscapes are constructed.â She added, âI can work on variations and the content of the painting becomes as much about color as it does about the actual âscene.ââ

Ms Chamlin is assistant professor in studio art at Fairfield University and teaches painting and drawings. Her work is in the collections of National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., Yale University Art Gallery, and The Nelson Atkins Museum, Kansas City. Her paintings and drawings have also, been shown in also and group exhibitions at numerous other galleries and museums.

The gallery is in Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts, on North Benson Road. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 5 pm; and Sunday, noon to 4 pm. For more information, visit QuickCenter.com or call 203-254-4000, extension 2969.

The commissioners literally said — in plain English — that because this is an 8-30g application, traffic isn’t a valid reason for denial. But sure enough, there’s Dave Ackert up there grandstanding about traffic again. It’s almost like some folks will say anything to keep affordable housing out, even if it means ignoring state law and wasting everyone’s time.

Let us be honest: saying he’s “not afraid to cross party lines” because he switched affiliations to get on the ballot isn’t the same as actually doing something non-partisan once in office or on a commission. I haven’t seen any examples of him putting partisanship aside to get things done — only to get on the ballot.

October 26, 2025 Top of The Mountain, Head Cat The Newtown Bee 5 Church Hill Road Newtown, CT 06470 Dear Top of the Mountain: Good day, kind sir. I read your posting on Friday, October 24th, with happiness and then sadness. You started so happy with the Library’s display celebrating Lucy’s Black Cats, then moved on to Halloween, always a treat (with a trick thrown in) in our community. Then onto the costumes and how the Sibleys are stepping aside from NUMC—not walking away—and then to the Drive-Thru Food Drives on Saturday mornings. What got to me was the final paragraph on the closing of the Watertown paper. You were/are upset over that, and it is understandable. To ever think we would lose the Newtown Bee makes me so sad. The Bee is where children learn to read, surrounded by their family as they talk about the articles and the pictures of family and friends. That’s how my daughter learned to read and recognize people. No computer or phone, just pages of articles of those we have lost and those who make our community such a wonderful place to be. I can’t imagine a world where the Bee isn’t in it. It’s where our children see themselves and friends in the School / Sport Section. It’s where many of us can read about our history in the Way We Were and say goodbye to friends and family in Obituaries (where it doesn’t matter how long it is —you will print it). The Bee is where the past and the future come together, we laugh, cry, shake our heads, and TALK about what is written. It is where we LEARN. I am proud to be born and raised in Newtown. Even though my sister moved to New Hampshire, she still gets the Bee (she is keeping track of me, I think). I get my news from the Bee, and I pay attention to the articles, the Opinions, and the Letters to the Editor. You are unbiased in your reporting and in your Editorials; you keep us honest, in my humble opinion. I can’t imagine a world without the Bee, and let’s face it, if I buy you my local convenience store, it’s one (1) single dollar – the “other” local paper is three (3) dollars a day, and I don’t get half the news I get from the Bee. I know where to get the news that I want to read, but no week is complete without my Bee. So, please don’t be sad, there are so many of us here in town that feel the same way, and we WILL (yes, pun intended), come back and … read you again! With much love and respect, Maureen A. Will

No one is discussing your post about Charlie Kirk. What people are responding to is your use of hateful and demeaning language toward the very people you were elected to represent. Calling your constituents “leftist libtards” is not only disrespectful, it is deeply offensive. That word combines a political slur with a term historically used to demean people with disabilities. It’s shocking and disappointing that an elected official would use such language publicly, let alone in reference to members of her own community. Rather than deflecting from this by shifting the focus elsewhere, I urge you to restate your logic. Do you truly believe this is how public servants should speak about those they represent? Our community deserves clarity and respect.

Yes, elections have consequences — Democrats lost. Now it’s time to deal with it instead of trying to turn every local race into a national political drama. Dragging “Project 2025” into a Newtown election is a stretch that borders on absurd. Our local government isn’t deciding national policy — it’s fixing roads, managing budgets, and keeping taxes reasonable. If you think Washington politics are running Town Hall, you haven’t been paying attention. Jeff Capeci and the local Republican team are focused on what actually matters here at home: fiscal responsibility, public safety, and smart development. That’s the kind of leadership Newtown needs — not scare tactics and conspiracy-laced talking points pulled from cable news.
