Our featured gallery artist for April is the late Terry Tangredi.

Terry Tangredi began painting in the last decade of her 66 years of life. For Terry painting was a very peaceful, quiet experience. She painted mostly for herself. But if her art could bring joy to others, then she would savor that as well. At heart, Terry’s art was a chance to be centered, calm and tranquil and also to explore a new venue.

Terry’s home was a work of art, and her painting was a natural extension of that. She brought the same creativity and love of beauty to all that she did, whether it was the way she cooked an extraordinary meal, hand-cultivated gardens, or transcribed andcomposed her observations into paintings. Terry was a true artist.

Terry was a devoted healer, acupuncturist, horticulturalist, and cook. She had an adventurous spirit, and appreciated natural beauty, enjoying walking tours of Ireland, hiking the Smoky Mountains, cross-country skiing nearby, and just walking the rural byways of her very own town.

Available for viewing during open library hours this April. The gallery occupies the same space as our community room; if there is an ongoing program, we ask that patrons refrain from interrupting the event.

An artist’s reception will be held on Saturday April 11, 2:00 PM.
