Village Center for the Arts Presents: "Where the Light Lingers" Paintings by Alison Litke

Opening Reception: Saturday, May 2 | 6:30–8:00 PM

Exhibition on view through May 30

Village Center for the Arts is pleased to present a solo exhibition of recent work by Connecticut artist Alison Litke, opening Saturday, May 2 from 6:30–8:00 PM. This free event is open to the public, with additional viewing available through May 30.

Alison's work is rooted in a deep appreciation for the quiet beauty of the natural world. Inspired by the ever-changing light playing across Connecticut’s landscapes and waterways, her paintings capture fleeting moments. The fog lifting off the water, morning dew catching the sun, and the shifting drama of stormy skies.

A lifelong Connecticut resident, Alison began drawing at an early age, sketching trees, flowers, and animals as a child before expanding into sculpture in clay and wood during her high school years. She continued her artistic studies at Wesleyan University, later turning her focus to painting in 2008. Working primarily in acrylics, she found the medium allowed her to quickly and intuitively respond to the subtle nuances of light and atmosphere.

Daily walks through local hills and farm roads, as well as time spent kayaking on nearby lakes, provide an ongoing source of inspiration. Her work reflects not only what she sees, but what she experiences in moments of stillness, movement, and connection within the natural environment​.

This exhibition offers viewers an opportunity to experience, reflect, and reconnect with the familiar yet ever-changing landscapes that surround us in the light that lingers.

Village Center for the Arts is located at 12 Main Street, New Milford, CT.
