“Untitled Unmastered”- Painting Exhibit by Fiona Popescu: 8/7, 4-6pm
After hours musings, exploring colors and styles, Fiona’s paintings reveal multiple worlds of either playful or deep reflective art. For the past several years, she adopted different styles, while maintaining her unique artistic touch. Watercolors, oil painting, or crayon, on canvas or jeans, Fiona’s art is an invitation to journey into the “un mastered”, unrestrained.
Come join us Sunday Aug. 7th 4 to 6pm for a talk with the artist, refreshments and art enjoyment.
