The work of artist Cate M. Leach is on display through the end of December at ArtPlace Gallery at The Watermark, 3030 Park Ave.

Originally a dancer with the New York City Ballet, Leach is a painter who cites music as an influence for her work. She has exhibited throughout Connecticut and New York, and is a member of the Silvermine Guild Art Center, Connecticut Women Artists and Loft Artists Association.

“My work represents what is most personal to me — my love of color and my love of painting,” Leach said.

An artist reception takes place Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 2 p.m., at which time Leach will discuss her work. Admission to the exhibit and reception are free to the public.

The art gallery is a collaboration between the senior living community in Bridgeport and ArtPlace, a nonprofit arts organization in Fairfield. The purpose is to provide The Watermark residents and guests the opportunity to experience the work of local artists such as Leach.

ArtPlace Gallery at The Watermark is open Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call The Watermark at 3030 Park at 203-374-5611.
