At the next meeting of the Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN), Adele Moros will present a “failed painting” clinic.

The presentation will be in the lower meeting room of Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street. It will begin at 7:30 pm, on Wednesday, August 11.

Participants are encouraged to bring a painting that isn’t quite working; Moros will discuss how it could be improved.

The clinic is free and open to the public. Organizers ask those planning to attend to note that the program is only open to fully vaccinated participants.

Adele Moros is a multimedia artist with a background in fashion illustration. She studied at Phoenix School, Parsons School of Design, and with numerous well-known painters, including Daniel Greene. For the past 35 years, she has taught fine art.

In 2000, her Tiffany Cow was auctioned for $60,000 at the NYC Cow Parade. Slides of that cow are in the permanent collection of the Met and are shown during Tiffany lectures.

Since than, she has continued to create public art for the cities of Boston, New Haven, and Stamford. Many of these pieces now reside in Japan and England. Her faux stained glass Porto Potty was reviewed by Jim Bishoff in the Newark Star Ledger as a “show stopper.”

Moros is a fellow with the International Guild of Miniature Artisans. Several of her 1-inch scale paintings are in the Great American Dollhouse Museum and Miniatures Store.

Her paintings, both large and small, are in more than 700 private, public, and corporate collections. She is a member of the North East Watercolor Society and currently the president of SCAN. She is also a co-director of Gallery 25 in New Milford.

Reservations are not needed for SCAN programs. Additional information is available at scanart.org.
