Ridgefield turned into a strolling art gallery when the 12th annual ArtWalk kicked off on Friday evening with artist meet and greets outside downtown stores. I visited on Saturday afternoon, when the artists returned. Art Walk continues through September 7.
Nancy Moore creates wildly colorful works, often of women, sometimes of animals. She is a longtime book editor. A half dozen of Nancy's imaginative works are displayed during Art Walk at Books on the Common. Somehow her paintings fit well with books. (And with her clothes.)
Mira Vitarello paints with pastels. She is an instructor at the Ridgefield Guild of Artists, the sponsor of Art Walk. Some of Mira's lovely works are displayed at a women's clothing boutique during Art Walk. Her style is a blend of impressionism and modern contemporary representational art.
Suzanne Charbonneau's works have a Cape Cod feel. I mentioned that to her and she agreed. Suzanne was born in Rhode Island and spent a lot of time on Cape Cod as a child. Suzanne recently retired from longtime work as creative director of New York City advertising agencies. More time to paint!

As always your portraits of these artists are wonderful. I also enjoyed seeing their art work. Ridgefield is blessed to have such great talent in the community.
Nancy blends in perfectly with her artwork in that great outfit.
