The demonstration is open to the public and admission is free.Contemporary artist Katushka Millones lives and works in Brookfield. A native of Lima, Peru, her distinctive personal style emanates joy and peace and expresses the vibrant atmosphere and spirit of the places and moments she loves. Her dreamlike landscapes, mixed media objects, and paintings are brought to life in compositions with harmonious colors, often drawn from themes of nature, memory, time, feelings of tension and harmony, and the female experience.Moved by Turner's dramatic skies, Joseph Cornell's assemblages, and the Old Masters palette,the works of Millones remain in constant communication with the viewer, who becomes part of ascene trapped in time — of light and shade, movement and stillness, sounds and feelings.Her creative process may be influenced by feelings of joy, peace, nostalgia, and solace, andby deep spirituality, which may be represented by the use of light and shadows, a certainpalette or textures. Her paintings are a mix of direct observation, recollection of emotions, andher own imagination, impregnated with different mediums and techniques.In addition to being a fine artist for more than twenty years, Millones earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture from a prestigious Peruvian university, where she graduated with honors.Her works have been exhibited and purchased in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Alabama, Canada, and other locations. She continues to expand her artistic horizons beyond the United States, while combining her creative time with art instruction at her private studio in Connecticut.Reservations are not required for SCAN programs but additional information may be found at SCANart.org.
26 years ago the Newtown education system was excellent, today it is not.
No amount of money will fix that until those responsible for the destruction leave the school system.
Is it not true, that school budgets, by LAW, cannot be reduced year to year, no matter the reason? If it was 1M at 1000 students, next year at 500 students, the budget MUST be 1M?
