Faith Stewart-Gordon's acrylic paintings are on exhibit at the Silo at Hunt Hill Farm, 44 Upland Rd., New Milford in a solo show "Interiors and Exteriors, From the Past to the Present" until Nov. 6, 2011. There will be an opening reception with refreshments provided by the Silo Cooking School on Friday, October 21, 2011 from 5-8 p.m.

Stewart-Gordon's paintings are influenced by her travels around the world. In 2010, she was featured in a solo show in Campania in Italy. Her paintings are intimate in scale and tenderly reflect what she finds most beautiful and unusual in her travels.

Stewart-Gordon began her artistic studies before becoming an actor, and then later a notable restaurateur and author. The Connecticut Post has an article on Stewart-Gordon, and the show here.

There will be an artist's talk on Sunday, November 6, at 2 p.m.

Faith Stewart-Gordon's paintings inspired by the Sannio region of Italy  will be exhibited at Polo Culturale Gastronomico in Piazza Umberto I, Montesarchio (BN), Italy. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 7:30 pm, at which Stewart-Gordon will give a presentation.

The paintings capture the colorful landscape and architecture of the region, and little details that make it unique.

I encourage you to read Savour the Sannio's blog post about the show which gives the background and flavor of the exhibition. Stewart-Gordon was the proprietor of the Russian Tea Room in New York City for many years.
