GREENWICH HOSPITAL PARTNERS WITH BRUNSWICK SCHOOL ON PUBLIC VACCINATIONS

WORK. STAY. EAT. ENGAGE. REFRESH.

Greenwich Hospital and Yale New Haven Health, in partnership with Brunswick School, will opened a public vaccine clinic on Monday, Jan. 25. The clinic is located on Brunswick’s campus at 1252 King Street. Vaccinations are by appointment only. “Brunswick has been an amazing partner,” said Diane Kelly, president of Greenwich Hospital. “Our goal is to be able to vaccinate up to 1,000 people a day, safely and quickly, at this new site. We’re extremely grateful to Brunswick’s staff for allowing us to make this a reality so quickly.” “We’re happy and eager to be of help to our community during this national emergency,” Brunswick School Head Thomas W. Philip said. “And we’ve been so impressed with how professional and thorough every representative of Greenwich 1114 East Putnam Ave Greenwich, Connecticut 06878 203.698.6980 JHOUSEGREENWICH.COM

DOLLKA MORICO IS AN ARTIST THAT CONNECTS THE STORIES OF OUR PAST AND PRESENT WITH OUR OWN PERSONAL STORIES OF EMOTIONS AND BELIEFS. She is passionate about the brands and subject matter that she chooses to paint because she believes that each one of us can connect to them and reflect on what they mean to us. The splatters, swirls, shapes and textures you find in her work represents the emotions, experience, and stories of human life and the subject depicted. The recognizable visuals are there to draw you closer to the meaning of the art piece and the story it tells. “My responsibility as an artist is to create work that brings a connection to each individual and evokes emotions about all that life has to offer. My goal is always to capture the beauty, joy and difficult moments that life can bring. I want my art to remind us how precious our time on earth is and how beautiful the journey can be.”

Dollka and her husband David both maintain studios at SPAG in Norwalk, CT. Recently they also teamed up to create a gallery space in New Canaan. Their vision is to create a gallery space for everyone. A place where we can collaborate with other artists from various backgrounds, disciplines, and trades to showcase the power of joining forces with other talented and passionate individuals. It’s a space that can bring the community together to admire, educate, and convey the importance that art can play in our lives, influences our culture, and contributes to society-at-large. Their hope is that it will allow others to understand the value of art, beyond the price tag. Visit the Dollka and Dave Pop Art Gallery at 6 South Ave. in New Canaan.
