November Highlights
PASTA Fine Art Gallery
PASTA Fine Art Gallery presents the of Jenny Keyser during this month's First Friday Art Walk. Keyser often focuses on light, horizons, and nature, utilizing a stripe pattern to represent different layers of her landscapes. This technique invites viewers to appreciate abstract interpretations of landscapes in lieu of distracting details and artistic flair. Her work's minimalist approach explores boundaries and layers while letting these transitions carry the emotional weight of each piece.
