Afternoon with the Artist—Sadie Somerville presents “A Personal Journal Through Art- Paintings, Linocut Prints and Photographs”

Sadie Somerville is the featured artist. Her work is a mixed media showcase of prints, photography and fine art paintings, along with lovely print cards for sale.  Perfect for the Holidays!  

Afternoon with the Artist is a quarterly event featuring local talent that is hosted by the Arden Craft Shop Museum whose mission is to collect and exhibit materials and artifacts related to the Ardens, which include the villages of Arden, Ardentown, and Ardencroft. The Arden Craft Shop Museum seeks to educate the community on the Ardens’ history as single-tax communities in addition to how the roles of theater, craftsmanship, art, and other aspects of life have affected the development of the Ardens as a close-knit community.

Sadie Somerville Artist Statement:

Having always had a love for art, I continue making it an important part of my life.

I enjoy working with my hands and being creative in a number of different mediums and processes: painting, printmaking and photography.

My career working with 20th and 21st century Fine Art and Sculpture has exposed me to a wide range of artistic inspiration.

I moved to Arden in 1993, where I have a small cottage as my art studio. After retiring, I can spend more time on my own work.

The process of creating is what I love most; making my vision into a work of art. Light, flowers, nature and landscape are themes I am repeatedly attracted to.

In Arden, I am a member of the Arden Artisan’s Collective. I have also been involved in the Arden Craft Shop Museum and Archives Committee, The Arden Georgists, the Arden Fair Art Show, Arden’s Centennial Pageant, and restoration of an early Will Price designed cottage.
