What’s New at Connecticut Creative Online Magazine?
We are excited to announce that we have 2 new writers that have joined our team. Elizabeth Antle and Catherine Grant-Magro. Liz is an artist from New Haven and she graduated from New York University in 2005 with a degree in English. She is now currently attending Paier College of Art and plans to one day become an art teacher. Catherine is a student, freelance writer and aspiring novelist. She is the founder and organizer of the Central Connecticut Writers Group, which can be found at cctwriters.blogspot.com. If you are a writer we encourage you to join the group. You can view in more detail about them at the website under the title ‘Our Team’.
An article by Karen Annunziata has a brief interview with watercolorist Geoff Houghton which he talks about his involvement with art and about his “challenge of creating something new.”
Liz’s second article talks about when she met the Connecticut band Rums and Bumbletons “in the dimly lit bar at Torrington’s Yankee Pedlar Inn one Wednesday evening.” She talks about their music, influence, and lyrical style.
* The first article Catherine Grant-Magro wrote was on fine artist Richard White entitled “Saving Face”. Richard White is a working artist that has been discovering his love of faces since he attended New York University in 1970.
* Saturday, February 27th at Connecticut Savings Bank is the Site Projects’ First Biennial Benefit Gala. Details and images are available on the website.
* The NEW Connecticut Creative Community currently has 55 members and if you have not yet joined you may go to www.connecticutcreative.com/cc-community. The community will be upgraded very soon with improved features such as threaded commenting and friend connections.
Our Goals Remain the Same
Connecticut Creative hopes to act as a tool for Connecticut artists. We hope that members of the art world will utilize us to enhance their own network and largely enhance the view of art in general. Connecticut Creative strives to blur the lines between the different facets of artistic expression in order to achieve wider awareness.

Artist Doug B. Horak takes us on a fantastical journey through his mind onto the canvas. His photorealistic approach combined with his depth of subject matter makes the surreal come to life.
Creative expression is given a new face, actually, many faces at Lis-el Crowley’s Art and Soul gallery and studio. Her successful experience with artisan jewelry has allowed her to spread creativity by holding workshops on elements of form, use of tools, soldering, etc. Her students get to experience first hand what it is like to reveal the beauty that lies within their medium of glass, metal, or silver clay.
Julie Christine Phillipps not only does vivid watercolor paintings but also does illustration for her picture books. Julie takes part in Hartford’s Open Studio Weekend, which Kara Parlin, one of Connecticut Creative’s writers, is covering. This is the first piece in a series profiling artists exhibiting at Hartford’s Open Studio Weekend. The event begins with a gallery opening November 13th and runs 11am to 5pm November 14th and 15th.
