The Dec. 6 meeting of the Art Association in Roxbury will feature a presentation by Toni Chaplin, a well-known Sussex County artist.
A long time Sparta resident, Chaplin began painting at a very young age. She received her first art award during high school and had her first sale at age 14. She has become proficient in watercolor and acrylic, and paints in a rich and realistic style.
“The beauty of nature and our surroundings is what mostly influences me and I express myself through painting each piece exactly as I see it,’’ she said. “ This is what is most important to me.
My paintings are mostly of landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, floral, still life and architecture, including farms and houses.”
There will be a potluck dinner at the7:15 p.m. meeting, to be held in the Roxbury Senior Center, Succasunna.
