"I have been painting since I was 2 when my mother gave me a brush and let me explore. My style of painting is very diverse as I am always in search of something new. Through painting I express myself and I can not imagine my life without this wonderful activity.
I love bright colors...I think that bright colors make you happy and joyful. I work in different media as I love to experiment. I use: watercolor, pastel, acrylic, oil, and I love making collages." said Lorenz.
A series of paintings by Elina Lorenz,will include a painting by her mother Tatiana Oleg, also an accomplished artist.
The show will run through Jan. 17, 2016. Many of the artists will be available at the opening to meet and greet.
