Night Scene In Pastel: Next At SCAN

The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will have Christine Ivers of Meriden demonstrating a night scene in pastel on Wednesday, July 9, at 7:30 pm. This meeting is open to the public, free of charge, and will be in the lower meeting room of Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street (at the flagpole).

Ms Ivers earned a BFA in painting and two dimensional design from Hartford Art School in 1973 and has worked in the advertising field for the last 40 years. She has been creative director at numerous ad agencies and in 1986 started her own company. She works with artists in that crossover world of fine art and digital photography to teach them how to better promote themselves. After raising four daughters, Ms Ivers returned to her passion and works in pastels and oils. She is a Signature Member of the CT Pastel Society and The Pastel Society of America. The artist is also an Elected Artist of Lyme Art Association and Academic Artists Association.

Most recently she was chosen as a finalist in the New York Artists Equity Association Lawrence Awards Competition, and one of her paintings was chosen by the International Association of Pastel Societies as one of eight finalists in the international IAPS cover competition. Ms Ivers placed first in pastels in the 2007 Richeson 75 Landscape Show.

Light refreshments will be served. For more information call Donna Favreau at 798-0560.
