Artist reception will be held July 29th, 3:00-5:00 .  The public is welcome!

Paintings by Marina Petro and Lise Winne

Lise Winne: For the exhibit at Valley Artisan’s Market, Lise will be focusing on her own brand of fantasy art which often takes animals and plants from the real world, and puts a twist on them. Magic, detail, a story and a bit of luminosity infuse her work.

Mediums include acrylic, ink and watercolor, and sometimes digital art.

As for her part in depicting “visits from the muse”, you will have to come to the show to know who her muses are for this particular show (hint: one of them is her “partner in art”, Marina Petro).

Marina Petro: Marina will be featuring the variety of painting styles she employs in the “Paintings From The Muse” exhibit with Lise Winne at Valley Artisan’s Market. Marina’s muse is ever changing, transforming, evolving and challenging her to experiment with creating in new ways. Marina’s paintings range from dream-like, celestial, and bold abstract works to realism and intuitive paintings.

The latest series is called ‘Love Blooms’ and features bright, colorful, cheerful floral paintings created intuitively. In addition to original paintings, Marina will be featuring a selection of her angel prints.

If you want to experience real magic, make sure to see this show!
