Like a drumbeat, words describing the fallen march across a Wall of Honor commemorating Veterans Day at the Ridgefield Library, 472 Main Street. The wall, conceived and executed by artist Noelle Carr, will be on display Nov. 3-29 as part of a larger exhibit called A Veterans Memorial Garden. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, Nov. 7, from 3 to 5, in the Dayton Program Room to which all area veterans and their families are invited, along with the general community.
Ms. Carr, who lives in Ridgefield, conceived of this exhibition almost two years ago. The daughter of a heroic World War II veteran, she wanted to honor American troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and those fighting the global war on terror. Click here for full story.

The News-Times, March 31, 2008 “Artist Paints Ridgefield one flower at a time” Story by John Pirro, Staff Writer; Photo by Carol Kaliff, Staff Photographer Noelle Carr tends to focus on one thing at a time. Where some people see entire gardens, she sees individual flowers.In a sky filled with clouds, she sees only one.Where others view a vast expanse of water, Carr notices a single reflection, or the marks that a wave has left upon the sand. So when Carr paints, or more precisely, photographs a scene that she intends to paint, she does pretty much the same thing. The basement studio of the Midrocks Road home Carr shares with her husband, Richard, and their children – Evelyn, 5 and Vincent, 2 – is filled with pictures of single flowers that she used as models for her latest series of paintings, works that will be on display at the Ridgefield Library as part of the town’s 300th anniversary celebration.
