This Beautiful Place-Suzan Scott
The David M. Hunt Library in Falls Village, CT is pleased to present This Beautiful Place, a solo exhibition of paintings by Torrington artist Suzan Scott, on view from February 12 through March 13. A public opening reception will be held on Saturday, February 21 from 5 to 7 PM. An art talk with the artist will take place on Thursday, March 12 at 5:30PM. Both events are free and open to all.
This Beautiful Place brings together new and recent paintings that reflect Suzan Scott’s ongoing dialogue with the land she calls home. Her practice is rooted in daily observation of the Litchfield Hills and surrounding regions. As she has said, “…the question is never what am I looking at; the question is: what do I see? I have created a way of art making that combines my interests in art, nature, and science. Nature informs my work and directs my eye; the effects of light, color and atmospherics feature prominently in my work. New visual information constantly presents itself to me.”
Scott invites viewers into moments of quiet attention—often through the glass doors and windows of her studio–those fleeting instances when the natural world feels both intimate and expansive. Her work often hovers between representation and abstraction, capturing not a specific scene but the emotional resonance of a place.
The exhibition is part of the Hunt Library’s mission to support regional artists and foster cultural engagement within the community. The gallery is open during regular library hours, and admission is free.
