Art Gallery

September: “Interpretations”  by Joan Pingitore

Joan is a local southern tier artist with BA in Arts and Wellness, and has been creating most of her life. She’s worked in many different  art forms and finds painting to be the most challenging.

She has this comment on her art –

“Life relationships and the elemental forms of nature have been the driving force in the creation of my art.

I present traditional associations, organic majesty and life’s visions in a somewhat abstract, expressionistic form. I’m exhilarated by these mysteries and my paintings are filled with vivid color and emotion to portray my “interpretation” of the world.”

Her art show “Interpretations” is now at the Olean Library Gallery and will run through the month of September.
