Earl Shofield is Retiring from Dublin School

After twenty-years as Director of Visual Arts at Dublin School, Earl will retire from teaching later this year to pursue his practice full time. His tentative plan is to work out of Western Avenue Studios in Lowell, MA. 

In his final act as Director of the Putnam Art Gallery at Dublin School, Fitzwilliams artist Earl Schofield will be showing a collection of his own encaustic paintings. Opening in early May, his final gallery will show through the final weekend of the month. Residents of Dublin and surrounding communities can look forward to familiar landscapes and natural themes selected from Earl’s wanderings across the Monadnock Region. 

Earl works primarily in encaustic, an ancient technique that involves adding pigments to heated beeswax, then applied to wood and set to “cure,” creating durable works with a sumptuous material presence. 

The Putnam Art Gallery is located on the campus of Dublin School, free to the public, and open daily from 9AM - 4PM. 

More about Earl’s artistic practice can be found on his website, earlschofieldfineart.com, or instagram, @earlschofieldfineart.
