NEWBURYPORT, Mass. - June 15, 2015 - PRLog -- Valerie’s Gallery at 26 State Street in Newburyport will host a special event featuring Artist Priscilla Serafin of Rowley, MA, on Saturday, June 20th from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The public is invited to meet the artist and see her latest work on display.

Ms. Serafin is an oil painter who is inspired by the natural landscape, and focuses on the eternal beauty of the coastal marshes along the north shore of Massachusetts. She begins en plein air (painting outdoors, on location) to capture the essence of the light, then in her studio, explores the space between abstraction and representation.

“Since last fall, we’ve been showing her paintings at the gallery. As a resident of the local area, Priscilla has many marsh vistas to be inspired by, and we love her style. She was trained as a traditional graphic artist and a now a professional fine artist. Her work has strong graphic forms and colors, with a calm and quiet subject. I love the combination and hope you can stop by to see her new paintings,” said Valerie Stainton, owner of Valerie’s Gallery.

Ms. Serafin earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from West Virginia University in 1984 and in 1986 completed her Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Yale University. As an artist-in-residence at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont she has studied with Wolf Kahn and Suzanne Coffey. More of her work can be found online at http://www.serafinstudio.com.
