Richard Seisser, chairman, Main Street Gallery Committee, states, “We are privileged and grateful to have Gail Salituri as the juror for our next themed show ?Floral Still Life,” and, to those whose work is juried into the show you should feel complimented that their work has been selected to hang by one of California”s accomplished artists and sought after fine art jurors.”
Lake County art lovers and artists submitting their work for jury will have an opportunity to meet and visit with Salituri at the First Friday Fling, 5:30 to 7 p.m. Friday, March 6, at the Min Street Gallery. Attendees also get to vote for the “People”s Choice Award.”
Other delights of the evening will be keyboard music by Mel Taylor and the usual wine and munchies.
Salituri, who paints exclusively in “oil,” has established herself with her “eye” for both the obvious and the hidden beauty of her chosen subject.
which could be California Missions, courtyards and gardens; vineyards and wineries; and lush florals. Her enchanting scenes are vibrant with color, yet serene in their peacefulness and presentation, a combination that has won her increasing acclaim and recognition.
As an accredited Fine Arts Judge, Salituri served the State of California Fair System, from 1980 to 1993, judging fine art, photography, crafts, woodworking, ceramics and pottery. Salituri is a member of the Oil Painters of America and works with many and varied arts organizations, including the American Art Venue of Napa, California, as well as local arts and charitable groups in Lake County. Her work has been published in Art of the West Magazine, Southwest Art Magazine, Stepping Out Magazine and the Lake County visitor Center Magazine. You can see a great sampling of her work in her Inspirations Gallery on Main Street in Lakeport.
