Fernando Mariscal
New Visions
April 15 – May 17
Come see these new paintings that provide a glimpse into the vivid and expressive world of Peruvian-born artist Fernando Mariscal . He is cherished in the local community for his vibrant pastel landscapes and portraits, but these new works show a deeper side to his outlook on life. Fernando’s work speaks to displacement, poverty and joy, and the process of seeking and finding.
He is a master of pastels, so be sure to join us for his workshop. So much can be learned from his fearless technique.
Pastel Portrait Workshop – Saturday April 25, 1 – 3 pm, $45
