Meet Artist Connie Romano
T-012 Springtime Rebels by Connie Carson-Romano acrylic 16x20 $285 |
Since I was a young girl I have enjoyed the challenge of reproducing the
beauty that surrounds us in drawing or paints.
Being raised in the mountains of New Mexico gave me a deep appreciation
of nature and provided my art with a great pallet of colors to work with.
O-082 Sunset Glow by Connie Carson Romano acrylic 24x18 $280 |
When I was in third grade I entered a drawing
in a state wide contest sponsored by the State Fair board in New Mexico. My drawing was of a conquistador riding his
horse and I was so surprised when my work was chosen. I remember how exciting it was to see my
drawing on a poster advertising the State Fair. Strangely that event caused me to feel very
shy about my art and for the next 50 years it remained a private enjoyment and
a personal meditation.
T-013 Daffodil Drama by Connie Carson-Romano acrylic 16x20 $325 |
My husband, who was my greatest fan,
talked me into entering the Spring Obsession Art Show in 2013. I was so excited when several of my paintings
were chosen to hang among the expressions of so many artists. I have entered every year since and was very
honored to have my work “Simply Daffodils” chosen last to represent the 2018
release of Ironstones Obsession.
O-083 Violets by Connie Carson-Romanacr 20x20 $260 |
Ironstone vineyards is a beautiful venue and I am, again this year, very proud to have several of my works hang on the walls among the works of so many talented people.

Susie seized the opportunity to take up art after retiring from teaching sixth grade several years ago. She started in watercolor, but has branched into work in most all media. She and her husband, Larry, created the art center Town Hall Arts in Copperopolis where she has enjoyed classes by many foothill artists over the last nine years. From pastels to mosaics, she is always eager to learn something new. She also teaches beginning art in all media and sells her artwork and photographs at Town Hall Arts.
Taking great pleasure in painting with others, Susie fills the calendar at Town Hall Arts with a variety of classes and activities. Artists regularly come from distant towns to paint with friends in the Town Hall Arts studio, which has become a hub for artists both in the hills and the valley. She has also organized yearly painting trips from Copperopolis to art workshops in France, Ireland, Croatia, and Maine. Susie has received multiple first place, best of division, and best of show awards in Northern California shows. Her work has been published in several books, covers of art show programs and TV guides, and local newspapers.
