Just In Antiques is thrilled to be offering an amazing archive of art by New Milford, CT local artist Rosemary Connor as a benefit fundraiser for The New Milford Historical Society & Museum. I took ...view moreoff my antique dealer hat and stepped in as a representative of the museum and managed this very generous donation. I'm now donating my time and resources, with the assistance of other volunteers, for this benefit auction. Please help support the museum!

In addition to this art collection, I've included many other items of local historical interest. These items have been donated to the museum for fundraising purposes or consigned to this specialty auction.

The Rosemary Connor collection was generously donated by her family to the New Milford Historical Society & Museum to be used for fundraising purposes. All sales proceeds of this artwork will benefit the museum located at 6 Aspetuck Avenue in downtown New Milford, CT.

Rosemary was born in Bridgeport, CT in 1944. She began an apprenticeship at the young age of 7 with the renowned watercolorist Woldemar Neufeld. Rosemary then went on to receive a bachelor of fine arts degree from Pratt Institute. Upon graduation, Rosemary worked as an art director at New York advertising agency J. Walter Thompson Co. In1 966 Rosemary began exhibiting her works in oil, watercolor and acrylics throughout New York and New England.
Rosemary went on to gain worldwide recognition by virtue of her harmonious paintings being exhibited in galleries, public institutions and museums inclusive of works in the permanent collections of The National Arts Club in N.Y.C., The New Britain Museum of American Art, The New Milford Historical Society, The Springfield Art Museum and The Slater Memorial Museum.
Rosemary's body of work conveyed a sense of peace, calm and presence as she truly believed that the creation of art was a transcendent, fixating experience, beyond time and space. For her, self-fulfillment was found in creating art.
As a proud member of one of New Milford, Connecticut's founding families, Rosemary was a longstanding contributor of her art and time to the local community for fundraising and to increase public awareness of the arts.
