Anna writes to let us know that she is growing and moving forward in her vision for her dance artistry and life. She is teaching in different schools and strengthening her dance company, Mayta Fusion Dance. She has started to rent a space in Hudson, NY where she moved in May. 

Through October you can find Arts Alliance of Stratford member Donna Osterby Brien’s beautiful art decorating the eclectic walls of the inviting and scrumptious Open Door Tea in Paradise Green in Stratford. 

The collection of artwork on display reflects the wide scope of Donna’s interests ranging from her portrait work of pets and people, to her fascination with flowers. From a large orchid on canvas to the details of a single iris, Donna is drawn to not only to color, but to the intriguing convolutions of folds, curves, straight lines and hard edges of subjects such as shells, fabrics, and flowers in her artwork.

Two pieces on display have been only shown exclusively. “Let’s Play Ball” and “The Storyteller” represent her work which is more fantasy oriented. 

Visit Open Door Tea to see and support her artwork and enjoy a delicious bite to eat with your tea, coffee, or healthy fresh juiced beverage!

Open with new hours, Monday—Saturday 9-5. All artwork can be purchased by contacting Donna’s email.
