TL LaFleur
Hilltown Happenings
Shelburne Falls, MA
Tuyet Linh (TL) LaFleur is a Shelburne Falls based abstract artist with a passion for color. She believes painting with exhuberent, bright colors is key to how the work is recieved and the response it elicits. She wants the powerful nature of the color to make viewers feel happy via the healing power of color.
TL has a BA in studio art from Davidson College in North Carolina, and her varied career has included scenic painting for theatre in NC, management at a sewing factory in NYC, advertising sales at the Village Voice (also in NYC), and glass blowing.
"I started this series for this particular show at Salmon Falls Gallery in the summer of 2024. I focus on capturing the essence of nature through familiar scenes of the beautiful countryside of the hilltowns by painting abstract forms and vibrant colors. I strive to convey the sense of place by capturing its fleeting magic."

Jeanne Weintraub-Mason
Meet Your Neighbors: A Celebration of
New England Wildlife
Montague, MA
Jeanne Weintraub is a surface designer, graphic artist, product developer and entrepreneur. She has the great fortune to live in the Village of Montague Center, in the heart of the beautiful Connecticut River Valley of western Massachusetts.
Jeanne takes inspiration from our vibrant local farming community, environmental activists, members of the Native American community, biologists, gardeners, and outdoor enthusiasts. A science geek and storyteller at heart, she gets excited about communicating concepts related to sustainability and the natural world. Using digital paint brushes, pencils and pens through the Procreate app on an iPad, and the software programs Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Jeanne produces artwork that can be printed on paper, fabric, and other surfaces.
Jeanne holds a degree in Environmental Design/Landscape Architecture from Rutgers University—the place that introduced her to the wondrous world of plants and trees. She researches the relationships among plants and animals she illustrates–everything from dinosaur ecology to pollinator-plant relationships, to local mushrooms.
There will be an opening reception for both shows Saturday, July 12 from 2-4pm. All are welcome!
