Elizabeth Cleary began her artistic career by apprenticing with local artists, before receiving formal training at the University of Vermont and in Florence, Italy. The Colchester resident is known for depicting her home state with acrylic works of mountainous landscapes, grazing cows and lit-up country homes. Her current exhibit at the Fiddlehead Brewing Company in Shelburne pays homage to what’s now considered an important component of Vermont culture: craft beer. Cleary’s new series of still-life paintings features empty pint glasses and the “delicate foam patterns left behind” on them. “Highly reflective objects make a fascinating subject because of their ability to provide a glimpse of the area surrounding the still life, outside the picture plane,” writes the artist on her website. “This adds an interesting and somewhat mysterious dimension to the painting.” Plenty of Fiddlehead patrons will likely drink to that. Through April 2. Pictured: “Cheers.”
