Allison May Gennings
Allison May Gennings grew up in Novia Scotia, Canada where her parents and one sister still live. She went to Acadia University in Wolfville, Novia Scotia and received a Bachelor of Recreation Management in 1999 with a focus in Outdoor Experiential Education. She is also a certified Massage Therapist and a Certified Bowen Therapy Practitioner.
Allison is currently living at South Kent School with her 5-year-old Jack and 6-year-old Maya, husband Todd (who teaches Senior History and coaches Hockey) and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Beni.
“I work with time and space and a stream of consciousness, where one mark and color in relation to the whole, determines the next move. The journey is the goal; as one piece finishes, another begins. My work is influenced by time with horses, a self exploration of recovery and yoga, the discoveries of being a woman and a mom, and the energies present in our continually changing social culture and the unprecedented challenges we face individually and collectively. Working with color, the process is about connecting, disconnecting, and reconnecting,” says the artist. “My influences are the outdoors, energy and colors, herbs and flowers, horses, the ocean, human relationships, being a mom, yoga, and working with the mind and heart,” she continues.

Christine Lombardi has been drawing for as long as she can remember. From a very young age, she created special cards for family and friends. Eventually, her work became highly detailed, and her intricate Christmas cards were an annual treat enjoyed by many. Currently living in Kent Connecticut, Christine was born and raised in Danbury, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Western Connecticut State University. Through the years, Christine continued to focus her creative energies on her illustrations, developing her own set of greeting cards in 2010. It wasn't until the spring of 2018 that she decided to try her hand at painting, something she hadn't done since her college years. It didn't take long for her to discover her innate ability for painting the sea. Inspired by childhood vacations at the shore, she continues to enjoy portraying the beauty of the ocean in her work.
Heather Scofield
For the past 20 years I’ve been lucky to live in rural Connecticut and Maine, where the natural world is ever present. Moving to New England inspired me to begin painting, so I could capture on canvas my impressions and feelings about this beautiful part of the world. The landscapes I am intrigued by are full of color and light, of lines and shadows and of sky. I am especially drawn to the sculptural shapes and lines and varied colors of all trees from birches to sycamores. I am moved to represent them because of my continual fascination with their multifarious qualities. My paintings have been described as "kinetic and bold" and "vibrating with color and movement." I paint both on site and from my imagination, sometimes using both techniques for one piece..
My influences range from the Impressionists to Marsden Hartley, to Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven. I’m a resident of Kent, CT and am a part of the Kent School Community where my husband teaches and daughter currently attends school and older two children are graduates. I currently work for St. Andrew’s Church in Kent as the Parish Administrator when I'm not making art.

Beth Carlson
Beth Carlson is a life-long resident of Litchfield County and has been drawing and painting since childhood. A lover of nature and the scenery of the northwest corner of Connecticut, she strives to celebrate the beauty of the local landscape using oils on canvas. Her favorite subject is Lake Waramaug. Beth is fascinated by the ever-changing, vibrant colors and patterns created during sunsets as seen from Tanner Hill Road in Warren. Yearly trips to Cape Cod also provide inspiration.
Decades of painting for her own enjoyment have led to a body of work that she now wants to share with the hope that her paintings speak to others about the beauty that exists around us.
Beth studied illustration at Paier College of Art in Hamden and attended workshops and classes taught by fine artists at the Washington Art Association in Washington Depot and The Wooster Community Art Center in Danbury. She also studied graphic design at Northwestern Connecticut Community College in Winsted and made a living in that field at The Litchfield County Times where she was involved with the production of many award-winning publications.
