Horse Portrait winner Announced!

Congratulations to Shirley Mucherino for winning a custom portrait of her beloved Quarter horse gelding, Duke, from the friends of the library raffle during the opening reception of ShawnaLee's Pet Portrait Art show in May 2016. A demonstration of how to draw cats in Charcoal was offered during the reception.

Duke loved to toss his mane after every grooming session until just a small tuft of mane settled on his left side. This telltale detail of his personality is tenderly shown in his portrait.

The Pet Portrait Art show will be on view at the Brookfield Town Hall (Brookfield CT) during the month of July and August 2016 for those that missed it at the Bethlehem Library.

ShawnaLee Kwashnak has loved and drawn animals her whole life and helps support animal welfare through her art as a DAWS (Danbury Animal Welfare Society) Partner.

ShawnaLee works in oils, pencils and charcoals and is a member of the CT Society of Portrait Artists, Richter Association for the arts, Nutmeg Collective and Volunteer Horse Patrol. Her work has won numerous awards. She recently participated in Catherine's Butterfly Party in Newtown and expects to enjoy sharing her art and love of animals next year too.
