Greenwich Academy —Faculty member Carol Dixon will retire from Greenwich Academy after twenty-nine years of teaching in a number of disciplines, including Lower School and Upper School art, Advanced Placement art history, architecture, Advanced Placement economics, a wide range of history and Advanced Placement history classes, and serving as the former chair of the history department and the arts department. In commemoration of her devotion to her students and her long-standing interest in the arts, thirty-three of her award-winning embroidered collages are on display in the Luchsinger Gallery in the Wallace Performing Arts Center until June 8, 2005. Additional works by Carol Dixon, including thirty-two of her color photographs, will fill the Luchsinger Gallery to complete her one-woman show, "Textures of Life," from May 27, 2005, through June 8, 2005. The exhibit also will coincide with Mrs. Dixon's 70th birthday on May 28.

As a member of the Greenwich community, Carol Dixon has both served in and exhibited with a number of art societies and organizations. She has been invited to show her works at numerous juried shows since 1969 and has had many one-woman exhibitions in the area since 1977. She is the past president of the Greenwich Art Society, is a current member of the Arts Education Committee of the Bruce Museum., has taught studio art for twenty-five summers at the Stamford Museum and has been a guest lecturer at many workshops and arts centers.

“I have always been interested in the arts--I have drawn, painted, photographed and embroidered on my own since my childhood. I love to experiment with different media and different approaches, to explore what is being shown in galleries and museums and then try to look inside of me to find what I want to express. My enthusiasm and passion for art had led me to share my knowledge with others and to promote the visual arts in the community. It had been very gratifying to know that many of my students have gone into art-related careers," Carol proudly added.

Her husband and children are also involved with the arts. Her husband John is an architectural journalist, was the editor of Progressive Architecture for twenty-four years and continues to write articles and books on architecture; their son, Peter, works with Robert A.M. Stern Architects; their daughter, Suki, is a registered architect.
