Noelle Carr in Bedlam Show at Ridgefield Guild of Artists

Bedlam opens Saturday, April 4 at the Ridgefield Guild of Artists. This show is a members show that is meant to showcase the creativity of the guild membership as a whole. My new painting "A Mother's Love" will be on exhibit at the Bedlam show until April 18. Pink carnations represent the pure love a mother has for her child, and that is why they are known as the Mother's Day flower. I painted this flower with that symbolism, and my love for my own children, as my inspiration. The flower was so soft and pure that I chose to stay in that theme throughout the work. There will be an opening reception and party on Saturday, April 4 from 5-7 pm.

Noelle Carr in Festive Home Show at Ridgefield Guild of Artists

My paintings He Is Risen and Sing With Joy are on display at the Festive Home show at the Ridgefield Guild of Artists. Members of the guild were given 12 x 12" pre-stenciled canvases of birds or trees. Each artist then painted the canvases and donated them to the guild to be exhibited and sold at the Festive Home show as a guild fundraiser.

I painted the canvases to reflect the beauty of a bird at dawn, and of a bird singing. I felt that one was rising, and one was looking up toward Heaven, singing with joy. Please stop by and visit this show. It features handmade goods of all kinds, art, crafts, unique cards and gifts, and it is a holiday shopping experience filled with creative energy and different than anything else in the area. Festive Home runs from December 5 - 21 at the Ridgefield Guild of Artists.
