The artists of Gallery One are pleased to present the Artistic License exhibition as they celebrate creativity and freedom of expression. Whether it be a painting, photograph, collage or sculpture, the artists push the boundaries of subject and technique to deliver powerful visual narratives. The show is on view at the Gallery at the Guilford Art Center from March 14 through April 6 with an opening reception on Sunday, March 16 from 2pm to 4pm. 

Exhibiting artists include: Ann Knickerbocker (Old Saybrook), Brian McClear (West Hartford), Diana Rogers (Clinton), Jill Vaughn (Ivoryton), Karen Israel (West Hartford), Michael Fanelli (Clinton), Rick Silberberg (Ivoryton), Rosemary Cotnoir (Westbrook), T. Willie Raney (Ivoryton), Victor Filepp (New London), and guest artists Judith Barbour Osborne (Chester) and David Acheson (Ivoryton). 

“How fortunate we are as artists to have the freedom of artistic license to explore, experiment, provoke or challenge. As I add layers to my work, I feel as if I have permission to open door after door, after door,” said T. Willie Raney.

“To have artistic license we only need the courage to throw out the conventions that restrict imagination and go beyond the chatter,” said Jill Vaughn. “What inspires us and feeds our soul? Maybe it is an artist’s fresh look at what is already in front of us.”
