'Natural Connections: Works by Amelia de Neergaard' at Wisdom House

June 27, 2008 - PRLog -- The Marie Louise Trichet Gallery at Wisdom House in Litchfield, Connecticut,  announces the opening of the exhibit, Natural Connections: Works by Amelia de Neergaard on Saturday, July 26. The exhibit will open with a reception from 1 pm - 3 pm.

About the exhibit, Ms. De Neergaard says, "Though drawn to the chaotic weaving of branches and vines, in these works I attempt to 'order' nature and impose structure and definition where randomness and irregularity rule." Influenced by the woods around her, she says she enjoys using discarded organic materials - dead twigs and old rope - and contrasting them with synthetic materials or configurations.

Ms. de Neergaard attended Bennington College, Bennington, VT and received a BFA in Painting and Sculpture from the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, CA. She has exhibited her work widely in New York and New England. Presently, she is Children's Librarian at the Cornwall Library in Cornwall, CT.

The exhibit will run until October 11. The gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 am - 4 pm.
