My exhibition at Tremaine Gallery is closed until March 25 for Hotchkiss spring break. Please come to see the show after that: March 25-April 6, regular hours

Dear friends,

It is an honor to show my work in the Tremaine Art gallery at Hotchkiss School to celebrate 50 years of women at this school!

Fifty years ago I was thick into my apprenticeship in pottery with my teacher, Shigeyoshi Morioka, up in the mountains of Wakayama, Japan. Work with clay became a way of life which has taken me to places inside and outside of myself that I could not have imagined.

It is unusual to have the opportunity, as I have in this exhibition, to share my creative path, process and the evolution of my work. It is with much joy I show this work that spans 50 years! from my roots in pottery and the first puppet figures that emerged, to the small and large figures and murals that have evolved in clay and bronze. It will be the first time to show some early works and my exploration in painting and drawing of recent decades.

On March 6 from 7-8 pm everyone is invited to Walker Auditorium at The Hotchkiss School to see excerpts from the soon-to-be-released documentary, The Art of Joy Brown, followed by a panel discussion with Christine Owen, Ann Villano, instructor in film, Eduardo Montes-Bradley, documentary filmmaker and myself. For two years Eduardo Montes-Bradley with Heritage Film Project have followed me and my work around the world to Japan, China, New York and Kent! It has been quite a ride!

The Tremaine Art Gallery is located on the ground floor of The Hotchkiss School’s Main Building at 11 Interlaken Road, Lakeville, CT. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 12-4 p.m. and Sunday from 1-4 p.m. It is closed on Mondays.
