Hidden Acres Therapeutic Riding Academy hosts a Night of Caring every year to benefit their mission: to provide unique, life-changing therapeutic services to those in need, regardless of financial means.

The Seventh annual Night of Caring, to benefit Hidden Acres Therapeutic Riding Center, took place Saturday, September 15th 2018 at their barn located at 45 Gabriel Drive in Naugatuck CT. A wonderful evening filled with live and silent auctions, wine and beer tastings, games, Portrait demonstration oil painting of "Susie" by ShawnaLee (won by Rebecca Caruso), live music and great food all in support of a wonderful cause.

She is a board member to the Connecticut Society of Portrait Artists and a member to several local arts groups. She teaches art lessons throughout the year privately as well as through various venues. ShawnaLee looks forward to helping you preserve and celebrate your pet's memory with a Pet Portrait today!
