UNTITLED: ABSTRACT EXHIBITIONJuly 10-26

"The Bada Bing" by Patricia Rosoff

Simsbury abstract artist Joe Nicorici wanted to curate an abstract exhibit, and in February, he signed up his first artist: Patricia Rosoff, his art teacher and mentor at Kingswood-Oxford School in West Hartford, where he was in the class of 1999.

Rosoff did not live to see the exhibit. She was killed in late March in an auto accident in West Hartford.

But the show must go on...full Susan Dunne Article.
