Renowned Clay Artist to Exhibit at Summit Street Fair

Marguerite Brennan owner of MB Clay Art of Summit is scheduled to exhibit exquisitely hand-built works of art at the April 22 Millburn-Short Hills and April 29^th Summit Street Fair and Craft Shows which is anticipating to draw record numbers spanning several NJ towns. 

Marguerite Brennen is highly passionate about clay art and wants to share this passion with the greater Summit and Millburn communities.

Brennan has exhibited extensively in the U.S. and Canada and has won numerous ceramic awards.  Her work is in the private collections of Nicolas Cage, Bette Midler, Lorraine Bracco, Francis F Coppola, Aidan Quinn and David Strathairn. As well as preparing for the upcoming street fairs, Brennan is also fully gearing up for Summer Clay Art Camp Classes which she offers to children and youth from ages six through 17 in her local Summit studio.  

Animal life and viewing animals in their interactions with one another provides a huge source of inspiration for art projects. The unfiltered images seen with animals and nature tell the story, so children and young adult students gain much pleasure from interpreting these specific messages through their art. Brennan enthusiastically states, “Teaching students is an extremely rewarding experience because the skills my students learn with me truly builds an inner confidence as they create a masterpiece inspired by their own imagination”.   

Brennan’s sculptural works encompass arenas of design distinguished by her trademark of naïve animal imagery.  She strives to inspire her students to reach in themselves and find the spark of imagination that fuels the drive for individualized accomplishment. “I have seen children who struggle in the school environment thrive in my art classes because it enables them to find their center and their self confidence starts to shine," she says. "Teaching is very rewarding because it helps the child tap into their creative flow and their enthusiasm feeds mine.”    

The Millburn Street Fair will be held on Sunday, April 22^nd, from 11am-5pm and The Summit Street Fair will be held on Sunday, April 29^th from 11am-5pm.
