Margaret Lockwood Exhibit Installation

Welcome to the Fairfield's new blog, where you will receive a behind the scenes look at exhibition installations and events happening at the Fairfield. We will also post on other art happenings, topics and events that catch our eye and interest. Currently on exhibit at the Fairfield is Margaret Lockwood: Painted Spaces. The exhibition features three rooms created by artist, Margaret Lockwood, one of cloud paintings, one of her signature tree paintings and one of water paintings. The water room required a temporary redesign of the Fairfield space. Two skilled carpenters blocked in three windows and expanded our temporary walls. One of our many wonderful Fairfield volunteers, Meghan Hanson, painted the walls to blend in with the rest of the gallery.

While this was happening, Fairfield staff was installing the tree and water paintings in the rest of the gallery. We typically have a four day window between exhibitions so everything happens at once. It's a crazy, busy time in the gallery and one I love because it comes with such a sense of possibility and feeling of anticipation.

Here is a sneak peek at two of the water paintings, which are now installed in the back of the gallery where they surround visitors in the manner of Monet's Water Lilies and Rothko Chapel.

Come on in and take a look when you need a quiet, reflective spot in your day.
