All work exhibited is for sale. For further information, please contact Tom directly at tommayer@sbcglobal.net
Patty Meglio was born and raised in Orange, Connecticut.

Liber Art at SoBoBo Gallery
|
Benjamin Casiano brings together a group of five artists, Claudio Altesor, Rosa Colon, Hernan Restrepo, Sandra Rossini, and Casiano himself forming "Liber Art." As a group their work flows, connecting creating an energy that abounds. Feeling its pulse you become one with the creations. Individually, each artist is just amazing; from spiritual a connection with Universe, to florals a connection to Earth, from humans and structures to the abstract a psyche of human form.
The public is welcome to an Opening Reception on Thursday, January 5th, 2013 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at SoBoBo Gallery, 42 Naugatuck Avenue, Milford, CT. Liber Art will be at SoBoBo Gallery for the month of January 2013. Gallery hours are Thursdays thru Sundays from noon to 6:00 pm. A wonderful way to start off the New Year! |
