Working directly from observation, Marjorie Portnow paints landscapes that attend to the shifting effects of light, atmosphere, and season. Her paintings balance structure with sensitivity through a rich, painterly approach to color and touch.

Megan Marden is a Connecticut painter who works both directly from life and in response to historical sources. Her paintings explore the relationship between the physical act of painting and the experience of looking, allowing images to move fluidly between description and material presence.

Together, the exhibition offers two thoughtful and deeply personal approaches to contemporary painting, united by a belief that careful looking can transform ordinary experience.
