A GALLERY OF LOCAL ARTISTS REPRESENTING THE SOUL OF THE LOCAL ART COMMUNITY

Welcome to OVA Arts September 2022 Newsletter

Please visit our new website and watch our artist interviews. For September we have artist Pamela Grau, Valerie Sage Townley, and Patrish Kuebler interviews. Check back often for new artist interviews.

OVA Arts welcomes G ayel Childress to the gallery.

"When the viewer sees my images of the figure or landscapes, they see that I'm not interested in photo realism or an exact reproduction.
I like to think I use my heart to paint shapes, colors, textures, and design as a poet uses words.

Many times my brush leaves a touch of whimsy when finished".

Mark your calendar September 16th, for 3rd Fridays.

OVA Arts will have live music with Jon Paquet, a variety of wines and hors d'oeuvres.

"Well, my playlist is eclectic to say the least. There is no dominant genre because most all music inspires me in one way or another. However, music from my youth speaks loudest. I love the connections to memories and feelings that can be reignited almost instantaneously by a song. It's almost like you get a virtual do-over to a moment in time. If there is such a thing as "comfort music", maybe that's it. Familiar, relatable, unpretentious. Most common comment I get is something like, "Wow, I haven't heard that in so long, what a great song". Like unexpectedly bumping into an old friend. Oh yes, I have a few new friends I have written myself as well." – Jon Paquet
