Gaithersburg, MD. The oil paintings of Connie Gallerizzo will be on display in the Arts Barn Invitational Gallery July 1 through August 2, 2009. An artist’s reception will be held on Wednesday, July 8 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Born and raised in the Washington, D.C metropolitan area, Gallerizzo has been painting for over 30 years. A hair color specialist by day, her paintings reflect a passion for color and an excitement for the world around her. With a painting style that echoes the bright colors and soft brushstrokes of the early Impressionists, Gallerizzo is mostly inspired by the quaint landmarks of rural Montgomery and Howard counties. She paints with a brilliant curiosity that uncovers the charm of everyday life.
