May Featured Art:
Art Work in the Mary Flood Room by Linda Tomaiuolo
Linda has loved creating art since childhood. Her early days of drawing and coloring evolved into a passion for painting, printmaking and photography. Linda’s main focus is observing and capturing the beauty in nature, and this exhibit is a reflection of that. Linda earned a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Connecticut, a Master’s degree from the University of Hartford, and her Art education certificate from CCSU. She is passionate about sharing her love for art and art history with others. She hopes this exhibit will encourage you to look for the natural beauty that surrounds us all and inspires you to start creating your own works of art!
