New Milford Public Library will host an exhibit of paintings by New Milford artist Lorraine Ryan. Ryan is a graduate of the Parsons School of Design and studied fine arts as well at the Art Students League of New York. She has had one-woman shows in New York and Connecticut and received awards in juried exhibitions. Her paintings have been collected in the U.S. and the U.K., and reproduced as posters and greeting cards worldwide. Her current focus is Connecticut farms and barns, in the hopes of raising awareness to their unfortunate and rapid disappearance. The exhibit will be on view during regular library hours.
