"The Color of Nature" opens at Les Beaux Arts Gallery

Les Beaux Arts Gallery is celebrating the beginning of the summer with a poetic exhibition by Beverly Miller Orthwein. The exhibition will open on Sunday, May 10 and run through Friday, July 10, 2026.

Orthwein is a watercolor artist inspired by the natural world. Her birds, flowers, and still-life paintings are delicate with a certain freshness. They exude quiet meditation and calmness.

She started her art education with pen and ink studies of landscapes and later embraced watercolor through Chinese brush painting, and has continued to explore its expressive possibilities. Her work reflects a deep appreciation for flora and fauna.

Orthwein earned her BFA from Pratt Institute and further studies at Hammon Art Museum.

She has exhibited in several galleries around and has works in private collections in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Les Beaux Arts Gallery is located in the Round Hill Community Church, 395 Round Hill Road, Greenwich. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 12:00, and closed on Saturdays. Please call ahead [203.869.1091] for holiday hours.
