Join us at the Lyme Art Association for an art talk and book signing with Connecticut painter, Kelli Folsom. Kelli will present an intimate look at her journey as a still life painter and teacher. Drawing from her book 30 Ways to Master Still Life Painting and over 18 years of experience, Kelli will share how she discovered her artistic voice, learned to trust what works for her, and developed a clear, approachable method for creating painterly, confident work.

Through examples of her own small paintings, from simple pears and teacups to richer arrangements, Kelli will explore the power of focus, patience, and constraints in painting. Attendees will learn how studying even modest subjects can teach big lessons about seeing like an artist, simplifying complex forms, and cultivating resilience and confidence at the easel. The talk will conclude with a book signing.

This event is designed for both art enthusiasts and students eager to gain insight into the joys and challenges of painting still life.
