Recent Paintings by Amy Conover is featured in the larger Upstairs Gallery
Amy’s recent paintings weave together subject matter from both her lived experience and from highly
imaginative scenarios. Robust bouquets of her garden’s flowers exude the energy of a mid-summer
arrangement, while the stage presence of stylishly-dressed women allude to the artist’s previous career in
fashion design.
Conover lives in Simsbury, Conn. and received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. She has
previously been included in exhibitions at the NBMAA, UCONN’s Jorgensen Gallery, the Hill-Stead
Museum, and 5-Points Gallery. She presently serves on the council of Connecticut Women Artists.
The Spotlight Gallery features Reflection On Social Justice by Brigid Kennedy with paintings addressing
social challenges—from cobalt mining to voters’ rights—using a representational approach that
transforms art into advocacy and social engagement. In these dark times it's my hope that by practicing
mercy and justice, we will engage with challenges to our humanity, stand up for social justice and for
each other.
Brigid Kennedy is an artist living in Wethersfield, Conn. whose current focus is painting. Kennedy earned
her BA at the University of Toronto, her BFA from SUNY Buffalo, and her MFA at Yale University,
School of Art. Kennedy's work is in the collections of The Burchfield Penney Art Center; NBMAA; Pratt
Institute, Brooklyn; and Trinity College. Her work has been featured in numerous solo and group
exhibitions at galleries and museums across Conn., Upstate NY, as well as in NYC.
Work from Reflection On Social Justice and Panoply may be picked up at the conclusion of the
exhibitions at 5:00pm on Saturday, November 15, 2025 or on Sunday, 16 November from 2–4pm.
