Come join friends and colleagues on Friday, February 19, on the next stop of the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County's PROGRESSIVE GALLERY TOUR at the NYLEN GALLERY at Picture This in Westport.
Our Gallery Tour has visited a different commercial gallery member of the Cultural Alliance each month this season. Opening with the C. Parker Gallery in Greenwich in September, the tour has progressed through Stamford (Fernando Luis Alvarez Gallery), New Canaan (Heather Gaudio Fine Art), Norwalk (Leclerc Fine Art), Southport (Southport Galleries): month-by-month towards Bridgeport. In February, it's Westport's turn!
The purpose of the Tour is to encourage our members to mix and mingle while seeing the wide range of commercial galleries that are our members. Join us: Explore and Discover (and bring your business cards!).
Our Gallery Tour stop at the Nylen Gallery coincides with the opening of an exhibition of watercolors by Stamford-based artist, OLGA KLYMYK.
Olga began her art career in her native Ukraine, majoring in art at university. She went on to teach in schools and in private lessons and began selling her works. She arrived in the United States in 2006, became a citizen in 2011 and is busy establishing her art career here. “I love to paint with watercolors, since it's my strongest point. It is hopeful that my previous success will be continued in the U.S.” The paintings feature landscapes of New England, florals and still lifes. Olgo will speak about her work at 6pm.
