Welcome to Lady Audrey′s Gallery, the premier showcase for established, Master, and emerging artists/mid-career artists and their work.
"There are those who pursue [painting] because of poverty and domestic need, for profit and enthusiasm for the profession too; but above all these are to be extolled the ones who enter the profession through a sense of enthusiasm and exaltation"
............Cennino Cennini, Il Libro dell' Arte, 1437
We welcome artists working in all mediums and styles:
We offer the opportunity for artists, emerging and established, to present their work on their own Gallery page on the website as well as in real time/space at the gallery.

The opening exhibit, a De Wolfe Hotchkiss Retrospective, continues through June at the gallery.
Mr. Hotchkiss spent most of his long career in the advertising field as an art director at BBD&O in New York City. He was also very involved with the local art scene and was president of the Housatonic Art League for many years. His artistic legacy lives on in three of his four sons who are accomplished artists in their own right. Joel Hotchkiss is a well known creator of fine art mobiles, Ben Hotchkiss produces fantastical outsider art, and Jed Hotchkiss is an artist/illustrator focusing on the comic book genre. Examples of their work are being featured in this exhibit.
Visit us in West Cornwall
You won't be disappointed. Have lunch at the Wandering Moose and then wander up to Cornwall Bridge Pottery, The Wish House, a gift boutique where dreams can come true, Lady Audrey's Gallery, and Barbara Farnsworth - Bookseller. Whet your whistle at Smokin' Barbeque. If you're making a weekend of it, stay at the Cornwall Inn or just stay for dinner on their screened in porch. Saturday mornings feature our Farm Market with the real stuff from real farmers. Kayaking and rubber rafting are available from Clarke Outdoors just a mile or two down Route 7. Lime Rock Park is 5 miles in the other direction for the road racing fans. We have The Appalachian Trail and Mohawk Mountain as well as Housatonic Meadows State Park. And don't even get started on the fly fishing in the Housatonic River. If you need a guide, Housatonic River Outfitters can fill that niche offering full service wade and drift trips as well as Orvis Fly Fishing Schools.
