FARMINGTON — SugarWood Gallery’s artist of the month, Anstiss Morrill, will be feted at a reception from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 1. The public is invited and refreshments will be served.

Morrill’s notes on her paintings include: ??”My work varies from impressionistic landscapes to abstract evocative pieces. ?I feel that painting can be like fiction writing or dreaming. It may take elements from true life and combine them in different ways. I like to be surprised by what images reveal themselves. My gratitude to Marni Lawson for teaching me that art time can also be play time. Thanks also to the Maxhams for giving space and encouragement to local artists. And many thanks to all the friends who have helped me prepare for this show.”

Morrill’s work will remain on exhibit through September and is available for purchase.

SugarWood Gallery is at 248 Broadway in Farmington and is open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
