Black and White with a Splash of Color by Holly Denihan

Join us March 1st from 6-10PM as we feature Holly Denihan. Her paintings draw the eye to specific places in the image through the use of black and white and color.

From Holly’s Artist Statement:
“Most of my work has consisted of black and white with a splash of color emphasizing the shadows and highlighting accent of the background. I also enjoy painting flowers with every petal as its own unique piece.”

Get a preview of Holly’s work on her website.

I’m excited to see her work for this exhibit!

See you March 1st! There will be an artist reception from 6-9PM.
