Opening Reception: Sunday, July 13 from 1-3pm

Featuring the work of our three most recent artists in our Keyhole Residency:

Isaac Canady
Isaac Canady is a New Haven native. He studied dance and music in his younger years and was a social worker. He is a self taught artist who spent time drawing after his daughter was born. After numerous hardships, Isaac will start his first artist residency at ECOCA. His work is a reflection on the connections we find in life, knowing that all things are tired together.

Cynthia Celone
Cynthia Celone is a Connecticut-based oil painter whose work explores mythical creatures and atmospheric landscapes. A graduate of the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts, she has exhibited widely and participated in multiple artist residencies. She looks forward to expanding her practice and engaging with fellow artists as a Keyhole Workspace Resident at the Ely Center of Contemporary Art.

Jean-Pierre Solis-Sánchez
”Creating art is storytelling for me, and life is my muse. I chronicle my experiences, feelings, memories, struggles, and more by transforming them into visually appealing objects. It’s a kind of alchemy, where parts of my life are frozen in time to preserve them, allowing me to look back on them in the future, remember them in an artistic way, and understand them in a completely different light.”
