My goal is to entice you to travel visually back to places you recall or perhaps a new destination.
-- C.J. Guerin

C.J. GuerinC.J. Guerin is an artist from Connecticut who was very interested in participating in this exhibition, considering the fact that both Long Island and Connecticut border Long Island Sound, and that there is a shared history dating back to colonial times.

According to C. J., "My landscapes all emerge from the simple, natural beauty of woodland interiors, streams, fields, and other forms of nature. My goal is to entice you to travel visually back to places you recall or perhaps a new destination.  I achieve this with pathways leading to distant vistas and to places unseen or imagined, to create your own personal story. Perspective plays a key role. Recessionals of line, color, and atmosphere give the painting its movement and life."

Tracey O'Shaughnessy, Waterbury Republican- "Monoprints and watercolors by C.J. Guerin, are stunning examples of the tender detail that make a work both a technical marvel and a supple elegy..."

Jack Rushen, Darien Times- "Ms. Guerin's beautiful landscapes portray rivers rich and flowing, paths leading into woods that emanate light, and green pastures that invite the spectator into peaceful surroundings."
