In The Garden Of Sophia

LITCHFIELD — The Marie Louise Trichet Gallery at Wisdom House has opened a new exhibition, called “In the Garden of Sophia.”

The exhibit shows the process used by painter Hugh O’Donnell to create new chapel windows for Wisdom House Retreat and Conference Center. Mr O’Donnell used a combination of traditional painting in oil on canvas, digital manipulation and laminated glass technology.

His work is held in private and public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; National Gallery, Washington, D.C.; Yokohama Museum of Art, Japan; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield; and The Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

The new chapel windows will be installed this summer. The project is being supervised by Litchfield architect Clifford Cooper of Clifford A. Cooper, AIA Architecture.

The exhibit will run until December 30. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm. For further information call Wisdom House at 860-567-3163. The center is at 229 East Litchfield Road.
