TINA SOTIS EXHIBITION MIRRORS HER EXTRAORDINARY YEAR


Painter, Tina Sotis, presents “Year of Grace,” an exhibit of new paintings at the Sandisfield Arts Center on Saturday, November 5th from 3-5 P.M.

Her first exhibition in four years, Sotis’ work evokes mystery, personal transformation and introspection.   She explains that the title of the show, 'year of grace,' and the body of new work “….is a summing up of an extraordinary year of pushing my boundaries, exploring the world and reaping the inner rewards of taking those risks."

Artist and fellow Sandisfield resident, Susie Crofut, praises Sotis’ unfailing sense of color, soft evocative brush strokes and extraordinary imagination which both sooth and provoke.  Artist, Larry Zingale, is also a fan of Sotis’ style stating, “The work is always sparse, uncluttered and therein lies its purity and power.”

The Artist Reception and exhibit are free to the public.  “Year of Grace” will be on display through December 10.  The historic Sandisfield Arts Center building is located on Hammertown Road off Route 57 in Sandisfield.  For directions and information visit www.sandisfieldartscenter.org.
