Ethel Vrana's "Abstracts from Nature"
Show Dates: June 2 - 27, 2010
Reception for the artist - Friday June 4th, 5-8pm

Falls"*Abstracts from Nature*", a solo show of recent paintings by Ethel 
Vrana will be at State of the Art Gallery during June.

The paintings in this show represent a change for the artist; in the 
past few years, her work has evolved from landscape to abstract 
painting.  Vrana says:  "Whether I paint realistic landscapes or 
abstract paintings I try to capture the beauty of nature in all its 
forms, colors and light."

She explains that her abstract work involves experimental techniques and 
materials new to her, and she has enjoyed the aesthetic challenges her 
new way of working has presented.
                                                                                                                              "Falls"
