Spend a winter evening at The Pitcher Inn as it presents a series of three events that will feature an artist talk given by an Edgewater artist followed by a fine dining experience at the inn’s acclaimed restaurant.

Guests are asked to arrive between 5:00 and 5:30 PM. Drink and dinner orders are taken before the talk begins. At 5:45 our artist will give a presentation that will give insight into their path to becoming an artist, their process and their inspirations. Guests are encouraged to ask questions! The discussion is followed by dinner. The artists will join us as we savor a meal especially prepared by the Pitcher Inn’s chef .
To reserve a spot, call The Pitcher Inn at 802-496-6350.

Join us for one, two or all three experiences.

Thursday January 23rd – Kimberlee Alemian
Kim Alemian describes her time in the studio as a “time of alchemy”. Alemian is a still life painter and so it is in the studio that she arranges groupings of objects, directs a light source, and manipulates a composition to create patterning. The elements shift until she finds a combination of objects, color, light, shadow and pattern that excites her and invites her to paint it. Her oil paintings on canvas are richly colored and her brush work is gestural and textural. Her artist talk will give us further insight into her approach to still life painting.

Thursday February 13th – Ethan Quillen
Ethan Quillen’s longtime fascination with clay eventually won out over a career in academics. His interest in mid-century architecture and the art deco led to a body of work that is rooted in tradition but also experimentation. He blends form with function and an element of chance plays a role due to the variety of clays Quillen uses and the application of wet slip to each piece as it is turned on the wheel. The wetness of the clay and the constant motion allow for an unpredictability as forms drip and shift. His use of Raku firing adds further interest as crackled surfaces emerge from the embers. Learn more about Ethan Quillen’s technique and his fascinating path to becoming a full time ceramic artist.

Thursday March 13th – Tracy Burtz
Tracy Burtz’s paintings are “mostly about being a woman”. She describes them as autobiographical, and representative of intimate moments from her life. The life snapshots that she portrays are easily relatable and become universally significant to the viewer. Her work often includes dogs as they play an important role in her life. Burtz paints about their fidelity and the fact that for her they are the true embodiment of constancy and love. She paints large scale works on canvas that allow us to easily feel part of an unfolding narrative. Tracy Burtz’s March event at the inn is the perfect intimate setting to learn more about the artist and her approach.
