Motherhood in Art (Hybrid), on Tuesday, May 5 at 4:30 PM EST at the Scarsdale Public Library

As both an artist and art historian, I’ve long been fascinated by how motherhood has been explored across time, not just as a role, but as a deeply human experience that reflects identity, devotion, strength, and connection. A beautiful example is Fra Filippo Lippi’s Mother and Child shown above.

Together, we’ll explore how artists across cultures and eras have interpreted this enduring theme, from sacred and symbolic works to more intimate and contemporary expressions.

Thank you to my daughter, Bonnie, for providing refreshments.

Cracking the Code - Mystery and Thriller Fiction with Geoff Loftus at Scarsdale Library
Tuesday, May 19, 6:00 PM

Are you caught up in trying to figure out who put those thirteen dead bodies in the basement? Not to mention why and how they ended up there? Or do you prefer a straight-up confrontation of good guys versus bad guys? Who, why, and how form the basis of a mystery. The conflict of good and bad is a thriller. What makes a mystery different from a thriller? And what about tales of suspense? Or action novels? Join local writer Geoff Loftus as he explains how authors use elements of these genres to craft interesting narratives and engaging characters that keep readers turning the page. Along the way, he will offer examples from his own Jack Tyrrell thrillers.
