Welcome new staff!

The Lyme Art Association is excited to welcome three new staff members!

If you visit the gallery, you are likely to see some new faces! Paul Michael, a graduate of the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts, will be taking over the role of Gallery Manager from Jocelyn Zallinger, who is retiring. Jocelyn will be working with Paul over the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition. Paul is looking forward to meeting all our artists, members, and supporters, so please make sure you introduce yourself!

Sarah Kentoffio is the LAA’s new Gallery Assistant, taking over for Ruthie Viele, who is making more time for her art. Sarah is also a graduate of the Lyme Academy of Fine Art. With two Sara/Sarahs at the front desk, we imagine there might be some confusion – so our new Sarah is “Sarah K” for clarity.

Jolie Collins, Communications Manager

And finally, Jolie Collins is joining the LAA staff as the new Communications Manager, a position created to consolidate email newsletters, social media, website management, and other promotional tasks under one staff person. Jolie has been working from her home in Wisconsin, but she will be relocating to Connecticut and be in person at the LAA soon!
