FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Work of 7 local artists featured at Beauty Gallery

Newtown Square, PA – January 10, 2013 – Paula Jackson, owner of Beauty Art Gallery, is proud to present their first exhibit of 2013 just in time for Valentine’s Day. Paintings of flowers and sentimental themes, hand-made chocolates, and “heartful” gifts will comprise their “Hearts & Flowers” show, scheduled to open with a public reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, February 2, 2013. The centerpiece of the exhibition will be 20 floral paintings by Elizabeth Domotor of West Chester. Elizabeth Domotor was born in Warsaw, Poland and lived in France and Germany before moving to the United States.

Also included is an array of paintings featuring fun and affectionate subjects like Paris, waterfalls, abstract hearts, and still-life ensembles. These paintings are the works of Rebecca Jacob of Media, Papi of Havertown, Maureen Vita of Edgmont, Robin Frey of Philadelphia, Katy Winters of Havertown, and Scott Royston of Baltimore, MD. Philadelphia artist Madalyn Freedman will be on hand to paint water color sketches of guests, available for purchase if desired.

“Our hearts and flowers exhibition is designed to delight many senses, sight, touch, smell and taste,” says Jackson. “We have assembled American and locally made offerings including chocolates and truffles, soft faux fur throws and pillows, jewelry, hand-sewn items – unique and unusual gifts for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries and more.” Six different handmade chocolate truffles will be on hand to sample and purchase.
