Watercolor Program Jan. 11—

Former Fashion Illustrator To Open

New Year With Demo For SCAN

The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will host a watercolor demonstration by Adele Moros of Bethel on Wednesday, January 11, at 7:30 pm. The meeting is open to the public and will be held in the lower meeting room of Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street in Newtown.

Ms Moros is a multi-media artist with a background in fashion illustration. Her work ranges from miniatures to murals and landscapes and florals to portraits.

She has been teaching for twenty years and has been a director for Bethel Arts Junction for the past six years.

Her work is included in numerous private and public collections. In 2000 she designed “Tiffany Cow” for Cow Parade NYC.

The Metropolitan Museum has slides of the bovine she designed for that public art exhibition (which sold for $60,000 at auction) in its permanent collection and uses them in lectures on Tiffany.

In 2002 Ms Moros created “Jungle Gym,” an eight-foot giraffe for Stamford Safari. The same year she designed a faux stained glass porta-potty for Imodium’s “Urban Relief Project” in NYC. The Newark Star Leger described the piece as a “show stopper.”

Ms Moros is currently showing some of her work at Wilton Library. She is also working on a three-dimensional piece for “Heartbeat of Our Community,” which will celebrate and raise funds for the Praxair Regional Heart and Vascular Center. That exhibit will debut later this season.
