Rockland County artist Jaqueline Fiore presents her first solo exhibition Through a Woman’s Lens. Enjoy a glass of wine and explore canvases that capture moments of daily life that are often forgotten, ignored, or too painful to remember–drawings with vivid color, abstractly painted. Lines, shapes, and textures are there to be explored. Fiore may start out with a line drawing, but as the paints are added the imagination takes over and the image begins to guide itself. The exhibit is on view through March 29, Thur and Sun from 1-6p, Fri and Sat from 1-9p. The Opening Reception takes place from 2-6p at the Piermont Fine Art Gallery, 218 Ash St, Piermont.
