Artist Amy Casazza in the spotlight at Fisher Gift Gallery

Connecticut painter and illustrator Amy Casazza is the subject of the new exhibition “Flower-Bird-Wind-Moon” at the Fisher Gift Gallery within the Farmington Valley Arts Center in Avon.

“I have been a maker all my life,” said the artist in a statement on the gallery”™s website. “From childhood, I was always more of a quiet observer and loved to be outside interacting with the natural world. Animals, plant life, and fresh air are my greatest sources of inspiration and where I find a connection to myself. When I am not creating the artwork you see here, you may find me out walking, baking, doodling, planning the spring planting season, or digging in the dirt.”

An opening day reception will be held at the gallery on March 4 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. More information is available on the gallery”™s website.
