SUMMARY:New date! Exploring the Author-Editor Relationship with Michelle Garside and Diana Ventimiglia
DESCRIPTION:The road to publishing is a long one and the team you surround yourself with can make all the difference. In this behind-the-scenes chat with forthcoming author\, Michelle Garside and her editor\, Diana Ventimiglia\, we’ll explore the author-editor relationship and how this collaboration can shape your book\, writing and publishing experience.\n  \nModerated by Lauren Porté Schwarzfeld. \nThe talk will be followed by Q&A from the audience.\n  \nMichelle Garside is a visionary brand architect who has spent the last 15 years transforming personal and corporate identities\, crafting brands that resonate at the deepest level. \nAfter leaving a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry\, where she built powerhouse brands for Novo Nordisk\, Unilever and Johnson & Johnson\, she dedicated herself to a more profound mission—helping individuals uncover the soul of their own brand.\nWith a gift for seeing the through-line that connects a person’s story\, purpose\, and impact\, Michelle has created thousands of personal brands that embody authenticity and alignment. \nDiana Ventimiglia is a NYT bestselling editor at the Balance imprint of Hachette Group. For the past 19 years\, her passion has been working with authors who speak to the diversity of lived experiences. Diana has always been drawn to strong voices in female empowerment/feminism\, identity & sexuality\, relationships\, LGBTQ+ rights\, psychology\, pop culture\, and trauma & mental health; believing that everyone has a story to tell and lessons to share. As an editor\, Diana partners with incredible individuals who are dedicated to starting bigger conversations and inspiring individual and collective healing. When she’s not working with authors\, you’ll find Diana working through the 5 plus books on her nightstand and yelling at her cat\, Phillip\, to stop knocking things off the shelf. She’s always excited to talk about all things yoga\, rock climbing and pizza. \nOrganized by the Yellow Studio Writing Club \n*This event was rescheduled from Tuesday January 27.

SUMMARY:Art Club: Visit to Metro Art Studios
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, April 10\, the Yellow Studio Art Club is heading to Metro Art Studios in Bridgeport\, CT — and we’d love for you to join us! \nWe’ll spend the morning exploring some of the building’s 38 artist studios\, browsing the shop\, and taking in the current exhibition in the Crown Gallery: Twist and Shout. \nTwist and Shout brings together six artists — Alex Ceppi\, John Guzman\, Louisa Pancoast\, Melissa Stern\, Yue Yuan\, and Tamsen Williams — whose figures bend\, twist\, and fracture in ways that communicate what words simply can’t. Rooted in Expressionism and moving fluidly between abstraction and figuration\, the work uses distortion and grotesque caricature as a kind of visual shorthand for emotion\, tension\, and identity. Some pieces lean into dark humor; others are raw and unfiltered. Curator Ellen Hawley weaves it all into a broader conversation about movement\, resilience\, and the expressive power of the human figure. Twist and Shout runs through April 25. \nCome for the art\, stay for the good company. This one promises plenty of both. \nGetting there: \n\nCarpool — A car leaves Yellow Studio at 10am. Email Tina at tina@yellowstudiony.com to claim your spot.\nMeet us there — Arriving on your own? We’ll see you at Metro Art Studios at 11am.\n\nFor Yellow Studio Members. Please RSVP. \n\nAddress:\n\nMetro Art Studios\n345 Railroad Avenue\nBridgeport\, CT 06604

SUMMARY:Sweet Surrender Artist Talk: Tricia Caracappa
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nJoin us on Saturday October 4 at 2pm to learn more about the artistic practice\, process\, influences and more of Tricia Caracappa. \nPlease RSVP. All are welcome. \n  \nAbout the Exhibition \nThe Gallery at Yellow Studio presents “Sweet Surrender\,” a solo exhibition featuring new abstract works by Katonah-based artist Tricia Caracappa\, running from September 13 to October 11\, 2025. The exhibition investigates the transformative power of creative trust\, showcasing dynamic abstract landscapes that emerge when artistic control gives way to intuitive expression. “Sweet Surrender” chronicles Caracappa’s artistic evolution as she abandons rigid creative constraints to embrace a more fluid\, meditative practice\, working barefoot in her studio with music as her guide and allowing intuition and energy to direct her process. \nThe works showcase Caracappa’s unique blend of design sensibility and abstract expression. The exhibition features custom copper and wood sculptures designed by the artist\, complementing her paintings created with acrylics\, inks\, oil sticks\, and charcoal that reveal glimpses of beautifully dyed canvas beneath textured layers. The exhibition presents a spectrum of emotional and visual experiences\, from light and ethereal compositions to rich\, moody landscapes\, each reflecting Caracappa’s philosophy of “following the energy of what lights you up.” Through this creative surrender\, the artist discovered not chaos\, but a textured peacefulness filled with sustained delight\, inviting viewers to consider their relationship with letting go and trusting the creative process. \nView and purchase artwork from the exhibition here. From the Collections dropdown menu please select “Sweet Surrender.” \nAbout the Artist \nTricia Caracappa is an artist and designer whose work is rooted in delight\, movement\, and gratitude. She paints abstract energetic landscapes and designs interior elements that bring that energy into light and form. Based in Katonah\, New York\, she holds a BS from Providence College and a degree in interior design from Parsons. After leaving her corporate career at Morgan Stanley\, Caracappa has dedicated herself to creating energetic art and guiding women to curate soul-filled homes through intentional design. She currently serves on the board of the Katonah Museum Artists’ Association\, and her work is held in private collections nationwide. Notable recent exhibitions include her solo show “Possibilities” at The Gallery at Yellow Studio in 2023.

SUMMARY:Artists' Talk: You Will Return to You
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday May 31 at 2pm to learn more about the artistic practice\, process\, influences and more of Megan Cedro and Cameron Goodyear. \nAll are welcome. Please RSVP below.  \nAbout the Exhibition \nThe Gallery at Yellow Studio presents “You Will Return to You\,” an exhibition exploring themes of growth and reconnection through the works of artists Megan Cedro and Cameron Goodyear. Running April 26 through May 31\, 2025\, this thoughtfully paired show examines how women artists interpret the natural cycles of leaving and returning that shape our lives. Cedro’s expressive figures and Goodyear’s dreamlike landscapes offer complementary visions of this journey. \nThe exhibition creates a natural dialogue between Cedro’s haunting figures and Goodyear’s evocative botanical scenes. Cedro’s women emerge as powerful symbols of growth and self-discovery\, their penetrating gazes inviting viewers to recognize aspects of themselves they may have forgotten. Meanwhile\, Goodyear’s landscapes capture nature’s endless cycles of renewal\, using color and light to transform familiar settings into spaces where viewers can find their way back to essential truths. Their complementary approaches offer a rich exploration of coming full circle. Together\, these artists celebrate the profound ways women and nature embody the journey of departure and return. Together\, these artists invite viewers to witness the ever-changing relationships between humanity\, nature\, and our evolving understanding of both. \nView and purchase artwork from the exhibition here. From the Collections dropdown menu please select “You Will Return to You.” \n  \nMegan Cedro is a self-taught\, Bedford-based artist whose highly expressive and haunting images have captivated viewers for nearly 15 years. With a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design and background as a MAC makeup artist\, Cedro brings a unique perspective to her paintings\, having initially started her artistic journey using actual makeup as the medium. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious venues across Brooklyn\, Manhattan\, and Westchester County\, including sold-out shows at Yashir Gallery\, Tria Gallery\, and Pierogi. Notable recent exhibitions include her solo show “AMUSE” at CB Gallery in Katonah and “Meant to Be” at Yellow Studio in 2023. Through her distinctive style\, featuring ethereal figures with penetrating gazes\, Cedro continues to push artistic boundaries\, challenging viewers to see the world in new and exciting ways. \nCameron Goodyear creates dreamlike\, vibrant paintings that transform familiar landscapes and botanical subjects into emotional encounters with the natural world. Working in oil and watercolor\, her distinctive approach has earned recognition\, including “Best in Show” at the 2024 Bedford Art Show and a residency at Yellow Studio. Cameron’s recent exhibitions include her solo shows “Eastwoods” at Hedgerow in Pound Ridge\, NY\, and “Nothing But Flowers” at Bedford Playhouse. Born in Princeton\, NJ\, in 1974\, she received a BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1998. Cameron lives and works in Pound Ridge\, NY\, with her family and three dogs.

SUMMARY:Networking Club - Behind the Brand: Navigating the Direct-to-Consumer Landscape
DESCRIPTION:This community is made up of so many small businesses that we all love and adore – many that operate online and we can’t wait for them to host a pop-up or find them at a local fair or farmers market! \nOn Tuesday May 20 at 7pm\, we’re bringing some of those women together to give us a peek behind the curtain to understand what really goes into running an direct-to-consumer business – the unique challenges\, opportunities and exciting moments! \nAn engaging evening for entrepreneurs\, aspiring business owners or anyone from the community who supports these (or any) small business! \nThis event is free for Yellow Studio Members and $20 for non-members. \nSpace is limited to 30 attendees. Please register below. \n  \nPanelists: \nJennifer Sarkilahti from Odette New York \n\nOdette New York is a collection of sculptural jewelry by designer and founder Jennifer Sarkilahti. Each design is carefully carved by hand in wax before being cast into sustainable metals. Dedicated to experimentation within the craft\, Sarkilahti creates new limited editions each season in addition to a permanent collection of signature styles. \n\nRaised in Virginia\, Sarkilahti studied painting\, receiving her Master of Fine Arts from George Mason University before moving to New York City to pursue the arts. As an extension of her art practice\, she began working in lost wax\, blurring line between art and craft in creating the body of work that would eventually become Odette. \nIn 2019\, after 15 years of living and working in Brooklyn\, Sarkilahti moved to Bedford in the lower Hudson Valley\, where she currently designs out of her studio in a converted barn from the 1800s. \nMona Lipson from Miss Mona Makes Ice Cream \nMona Lipson is the founder of Miss Mona Makes Ice Cream\, a small-batch\, big-hearted ice cream venture rooted in community and purpose. Launched in Brooklyn in 2021 as a monthly subscription service during the pandemic called a “CST: Community Supported Treats.” (like a CSA but for something sweet!)\, the business has since evolved into a beloved local brand focused on online sales\, pop-ups\, and community events throughout Northern Westchester\, NY. \nKnown for inventive\, community-inspired flavors like With Love from Yellow Studio and Responsi-Bubble Pop\, Miss Mona Makes Ice Cream blends culinary creativity with social impact. Each pint tells a story\, featuring locally sourced ingredients for swirls and chunks\, inspiration from other small businesses\, and often benefiting causes close to Mona’s heart. \nNamed Best Treats of 2025 by Connect to Northern Westchester Magazine and featured in The New York Times by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Jodi Kantor\, the brand celebrates nostalgia with a conscience. Mona’s mission is to use ice cream as a vehicle to unite neighbors\, strengthen communities\, and amplify voices through the power of ice cream. \nDrawing on 20+ years of experience in nonprofit leadership\, equity\, sustainability\, and mission-driven marketing\, Mona proves that dessert can be both delicious and deeply meaningful. \n  \nVanessa L. Seide from Very Lovely Soles \nEffortless style meets all-day comfort. Thoughtfully designed flats and sandals for women on the move. \nVanessa spent over 13 years at Nine West Group\, learning the ins and outs of the footwear industry—from sales and merchandising to design and sourcing. That’s also where she built the manufacturing relationships in Italy that she still uses today. \nAfter being laid off during the recession\, Vanessa took it as a sign to go out on her own. Vanessa has always been a flat and casual kind of girl— always searching for that perfect pair. A trip abroad sparked the idea\, and when she returned\, she launched Very Lovely Soles from her apartment in Westchester\, NY. \n\nWith the support of her Italian contacts\, she developed a comfortable\, contoured footbed that looks as good as it feels. Vanessa’s mission? To deliver high-quality\, chic flats at an accessible price—so you never have to choose between comfort and style. \nMegan Oliver from League of Friends \nMegan Oliver is the founder of League of Friends\, a joyful and mission-driven kids’ clothing brand dedicated to sustainability\, quality\, and clothes that truly keep up with childhood. \nWith over 15 years of experience in the fashion industry\, Megan began her journey studying apparel design before going on to work with known brands such as Cynthia Rowley\, Tommy Hilfiger\, and DKNY. Through these roles\, she cultivated a deep appreciation for craftsmanship\, practicality\, and design that lasts. \nLeague of Friends was born during Megan’s maternity leave with her first daughter\, sparked by a simple frustration: she couldn’t find kids’ clothing that checked all the boxes—well-made\, ethically produced\, playful\, and affordable. That gap led to a bigger idea and a growing brand. \nOriginally launched in Brooklyn and now based in Goldens Bridge\, New York—where she’s lived with her husband and two daughters for nearly three years—Megan leads League of Friends with a clear vision: to make everyday favorites that are worn on repeat\, hold up to real-life messes and adventures\, and are designed to be handed down again and again. \n\n  \nModerator \nJess Watts is a realtor\, sustainability maven\, and community hype girl. She has linked thriving small business communities to an increase in home value\, and truly believes that when the tide rises\, all boats float. She loves her sanctuary of Northern Westchester and can be found exploring local shops\, socializing\, enjoying time with family and being outside (when it isn’t freezing). She resides in Pound Ridge with her husband\, son and 3 dogs.

Our North launched in June 2023 to serve the influx of recent city transplants and long-time residents who appreciate in-person access to under-the-radar brands\, and who value a sense of community and connection when shopping.

Originally from South Florida\, she now calls Katonah\, NY home. Over the years\, Nichole discovered that flowers have always been the core of her creative energy—whether it was the shape of the stems\, the textures and colors of the petals\, or the art of blending them in a way that feels effortless\, organic\, and full of surprise. WildFig Floral is a garden style\, nature inspired floral experience providing everyday flowers and florals for special events.\n  \n\nModerator:\n\n  \nLauren Schwarzfeld\nLauren is the Chief Marketing Officer for Rise Literary\, a hybrid publisher and book coaching company. She has spent the past 25 years working in sales\, fundraising\, and marketing through various industries\, realizing that the most powerful part of a storied work history is the wide variety of human connection.

SUMMARY:Writing Club
DESCRIPTION:Looking for accountability on your writing project? We’re here to support that!\n \nMarch 8th is International Women’s Day and what better time to write about what it means to be a woman! While writing and sharing are always optional\, we thought we’d devote this month’s session on Wednesday March 5 to all things female. \n \nOnce monthly we will be dedicating space and time for writing in the Gallery. We’ll use the first hour for writing\, followed by discussion. If you’re interested in turning your thoughts into words–but struggle to put pen to paper–these ‘butt in seat’ accountability sessions are a great way to get started! \n\n\n\n\nFor Yellow Studio Members. RSVP required.
