About

A visit to TraillWorks on any day may find her developing a new painting, teaching a student to draw or talking with visitors. In the gallery, the public can browse the artist’s recent work, including her paintings, prints, tiles, and note cards of iconic representations of vintage kitchen appliances, scrumptious trappings of weddings, and modern Italian scenes. Schaeffer also creates custom work for clients and is available by appointment to discuss their visions.

Lessons are taught in the rear of the gallery, part of the artist’s studio space. Schaeffer’s unique teaching approach combines her experience as a working artist and her certification as a NJ art teacher. Her lessons focus on individualized attention through a multimedia approach and are appropriate for the hobbyist or the developing artist. To celebrate its opening, TraillWorks is waiving the annual registration fee for students who enroll during the month of May.

TraillWorks is open Monday, Tuesday, and Friday 10am – 6pm, Thursday 10am – 8pm and Saturday 10am – 5pm, and Sunday 11 – 5pm.
