Sweet Elena’s in Sand City Announces New Art Exhibition Featuring Patrice Vecchione from April 8th to May 13th. The opening reception will take place on Thursday, April 10th

SAND CITY, CA (March 12, 2013) Sweet Elena’s Bakery and Café located at 465 D Olympia Avenue in Sand City is an artisan bakery, reminiscent of home country cooking, using fresh and local ingredients.

Patrice Vecchione works will be on display from April 8th to May 13th. She has cut out pictures and stuck one piece of paper onto another since she first discovered paste in her New York City pre-school. Since then, it's been difficult to pry the near-permanent pair of scissors out of her hand! Her work has been shown in a variety of venues—galleries, libraries, community centers. Collages also appear on book covers. She's taught collage at colleges, privately and at Esalen Institute.
