Heather Gaudio Fine Art

Heather Gaudio Fine Art is pleased to present The Late Summer Show, a three-person exhibition featuring new works by Sophie Kitching, Jae Ko and Matthew Shlian. The show dates are August 22nd -October 3rd.<a href="https://:www.heathergaudiofineart.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">click here</a> 
Exhibiting for the first time at the gallery, Sophie Kitching will be presenting new paintings from the “Invisible Green” series, among others. The French-British artist directs her multi-media practice around architecture, nature and the environment, inspired by found objects, color and form. In her captivating botanical landscapes sourced from memory, decorative patterns and nature, space plays an equally important part as the depicted motifs, allowing the viewer to navigate their eye between and through prismatic gestural flora, fauna and ensuing drips. It is the very presence of the intended space that makes way for a joyful balance to the playful, harmonious composition. Since earning her Master’s degree from the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Kitching has enjoyed numerous group and solo exhibitions here and abroad and has been the recipient of several awards. The artist has also participated in residencies in France and the United States, and she published a monograph “Nuits Américaines” with Lienart in 2017, among other publications. Her work is in many notable private collections in the United States and Europe. Kitching lives and works in New York City.
Korean born artist Jae Ko is renowned for transforming paper and Sumi inks from their traditional usage and recontextualizing them into stunning three-dimensional objects.Ko combines the two materials to create abstract sculptural forms that take on the appearance of organic structures. For this exhibition, the artist will present a new series of adding machine paper spools that have been meticulously spliced into cross sections and misted with copious amounts of fine Sumi ink. The sprayed layers of color cause the paper to open and fan out in unexpected ways, allowing the works to take on the appearance of microorganisms, cross sections of wood and other imagined natural forms. Ko has had a prolific career with numerous exhibitions in the United States, Europe, and Asia.Her works are in many important public and private collections including the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Phillips Collection, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. and more recently acquired by the Baltimore Museum of Art. 
Audiences will recognize another gallery roster artist who works with paper to create remarkable three-dimensional objects, Matthew Shlian.The similarity with Jae Ko ends there, however, for his technique and approach to the medium is vastly different.The Michigan-based artist begins his process by drawing patterns in a notebook and uses digital mapping on an industrial plotter to work out his ideas. He then moves to paper to puzzle out his concepts using his hands, constructing shapes, geometric assemblages and modular aggregations that can reference architectural or natural patterns.For the artist, chance and the element of surprise is an important part of the process as he develops his concepts. For this exhibition, Shlian will present new geometric abstract works alongside vessels where color, light, patterns and planar shifts come together. Shlian has collaborated with scientists at the University of Michigan contributing to the visualization of various projects, his sculptural forms presenting answers to questions about science and nature that had not yet been formulated by his colleagues.He holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy and has held several teaching positions. The artist has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions, and his work is in many notable private and corporate collections.

Connecticut Audubon Society

<h1>🍂 Fairfield Fall Mini Sessions 2026 at the Fairfield Audubon Society</h1>
By Dariusz Terepka | Fairfield Family Photographer
Every October, the Fairfield Audubon Society becomes one of Connecticut's most beautiful locations for family portraits. Brilliant fall foliage, peaceful trails, golden light, and rustic boardwalks create the perfect backdrop for authentic family memories.
After photographing families throughout Fairfield County for more than 35 years, I continue returning to the Audubon because it never feels like a traditional photo session. Families laugh, explore, chase colorful leaves, and simply enjoy being together. Those genuine interactions create natural smiles and timeless photographs.
<h2>🍁 Early Bird Special</h2>
Book before September 12, 2026
Only $299 + tax
After September 12:
$425 + tax
<h3>Your Session Includes</h3>
✔ 15–20 minute outdoor session
✔ 13 professionally edited high-resolution images
✔ Online gallery with 30+ images to choose from
✔ Professional posing and natural interaction
✔ Genuine smiles and authentic family moments
✔ 10% OFF all print purchases
📅 October 24–31, 2026
📍 Fairfield Audubon Society
Reserve your session:
<a href="https://Bestinct.pixieset.com/booking/early-booking-fall" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bestinct.pixieset.com/booking/early-booking-fall</a>
<h2>Why Families Love These Sessions</h2>
Rather than asking everyone to smile at the camera, I guide families through fun, natural interactions that create real emotion. You'll receive portraits of the whole family, parents, siblings, individual children, and beautiful candid moments—perfect for holiday cards, wall art, and lasting family memories.
<h2>What to Wear</h2>
Neutral and earth-tone colors such as cream, olive, rust, burgundy, camel, navy, and forest green photograph beautifully against Connecticut's vibrant fall foliage. Coordinating colors work better than matching outfits and help create timeless portraits.
<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
How long is the session? 15–20 minutes.
How many images are included? 12 professionally edited digital images selected from a gallery of 30+ photographs.
Can grandparents join? Absolutely! Multi-generational family portraits are always welcome.
What if it rains? We'll reschedule if weather conditions make the session unsuitable.
<h2>Reserve Your Fall Family Portraits</h2>
Peak fall color only lasts a few weeks, and appointments are limited to ensure every family receives the best light and experience.
Whether you're updating family portraits, creating holiday cards, or preserving this season of life, I'd love to photograph your family this autumn.
