Lecture , May 3rd at the Artery Gallery, Milford, PA

The Artery GAllery in Milford, PA is please to offer an additional treat for the closing Artist's Reception on May 3;

a preview of the locally offered free lecture by Linda Richichi, a noted pastelist, SUNY Orange art teacher, and Artery Alumni from 2002-2004.

Linda is an international award winning artist whose work is widely collected. Her pastel paintings are a successful blending of the academic principles of drawing and composition

with the emotive strength of expressionism, and frequently surprise with bursts of brilliant color.

Linda now brings that experience and talent to her free lecture series “Draw Out Greatness”, a technique for artists and nonartists to gain valuable insights and clarity simply from their doodles.

Linda's new mixed media collages, on display at the gallery, reflect these powerful life lessons. Linda will be at the gallery from 1-1:45 demonstrating elements of her lecture “Draw Out Greatness”. The public is welcome to this free event, and encouraged to join us for some light refreshments immediately after. For more information, visit www.DrawOutGreatness.com .

The Artery is located in the historic Forest Hall at the corner of Broadand Harford Streets in Milford, PA. Regular gallery hours are Thursday –Sunday, 11am - 6 pm & Monday 11-3 pm. For more information call 570 409-1234 or visit us at www.arteryonline.com



While at the gallery I met another artist who was very interested in what this is all about. He is using art to move past pain. These exercises are powerful. I'll be writing about the work of this remarkable man shortly! (06/27/09)
