The Norwood Art Association (NAA) will hold their monthly Artist demonstration Thursday, April 18, 6 p.m., in the Simoni Room of the Norwood Morrill Memorial Library. Attendees are encouraged to arrive at 5:30 p.m.  

The demonstrations are FREE and the public is welcome and encouraged to attend. Raffle tickets will be sold for the chance to win a piece of art donated by the attending artist.

The NAA is excited to announce that April’s featured artist will be 

D. Sue Dion. Sue paints in acrylic, watercolor, and oil and resides in Uxbridge where she also has a private studio which houses a picture framing business and her teaching space. She has studied at the RI School of Design and The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Her paintings draw from two great American traditions, abstract expressionism and plein air. Through her use of color, texture, and edge, she invites her viewers to journey along unexpected pathways, ultimately arriving at their own, unique interpretations of her work.

Dion is a member of ArtsWorcester, a demonstrator for regional arts organizations, a Gamblin Demo Artist, and a member of the teaching faculty at the Worcester Art Museum. She has participated in dozens of juried art shows and has had several solo exhibitions, including the Franklin Gallery at the Hanover Theater and the Austin Area Art Gallery. She has been featured in many articles, including the Worcester Magazine and Worcester Art Museum’s “The Sketch”.

“I am a painter who is enchanted by the mysteries of nature and find them to be an inexhaustible opportunity for expression,” Dion said. “I strive to communicate my impressions of this bounty through color and shape.

 Ms. Dion will be painting with acrylics for this month’s demonstration.
