Roy Wrenn: Landscapes & Seascapes Sunday, January 5—Thursday, February 27, 2025 Artist Reception: Thursday, January 16 at 6:30 p.m.

Roy Wrenn, a contemporary American painter, began his artistic journey by taking art lessons as a way to relieve stress during the initial stages of his corporate career. Although largely self-taught, he has participated in workshops over the course of his more than 50 years of painting, continually refining his craft. He credits the Silvermine Guild of the Arts in Norwalk, CT with giving him his first “push” and acknowledges the support of various art guilds that have helped him grow as an artist.

Now retired after six years as a U.S. Merchant Marine and 35 years in the corporate world, Wrenn has dedicated himself fully to his art. No longer needing the “stress relief” of his corporate days, he still uses his oils or acrylics to paint places or activities that give him a feeling of peace or escape. Through oils and acrylics, he captures tranquil moments—whether it’s an old homestead evoking simpler times, a serene mountain retreat, or the joy of sailing with the wind. A lifelong passion for water and boats, inspired by his upbringing sailing the Long Island Sound and building model ships, is evident in many of his pieces. Roy Wrenn is an active member of the Glastonbury Art Guild, the Clinton Art Society, the Marlborough Art Center, and the New Haven Paint and Clay Club. His works are currently on display in Connecticut and New York.
