ART EXHIBITION: MAY 2012
ELAINE EKLOF DROOTIN AND CAROL FRANK TO EXHIBIT ART IN MAY.
By popular demand, Elaine Eklof Drootin and Carol Frank, members of the Riverdale Art Association, will exhibit their paintings at the Society during May.
Elaine Eklof Drootin and Carol Frank, members of the Riverdale Art Association, will exhibit their paintings at the Society during April.
Elaine Eklof Drootin's paintings will include watercolors, acrylics and mixed media. She paints locally at Wave Hill and on Cape Cod. Her plein air landscapes are superbly rendered, and working outdoors captures the essence of an immediate impression. Plein air (from the French en plein air) originated in France in 1865 when artists left their studios in search of quality light only found outdoors. Elaine has studied at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Castle Hill in Truro, Westchester College of Art and Art Students' League. She exhibits locally and on Cape Cod.
Carol Frank paints abstracts; her work includes photography, collage and pastels. She studied at the New York Botanical Garden and School of Visual Arts, and has exhibited locally at Wave Hill, Riverfront Library and with her husband at the Grinton I. Will Library in Yonkers
The Riverdale Art Association is a group of local artists who also welcome the community and new members at its meetings. It meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. in the Community Room at Riverdale Atria, Henry Hudson Parkway East, just south of the Monument. www.riverdaleartassociation.org.
