Art Reception February 2 for Two CV Artists
Longtime Castro Valley residents, textile artist Liz Berg and nature painter George Phillips are currently showing their work at the Castro Valley Center for the Arts. The public is invited to a reception February 2, from 1-3 pm
in the Lobby and the Exhibition Room. Both artists explore strong colors as they create their work. Liz laughs, "I've never met a color I didn't like!" Her type of quilting is called "art quilting," leaving behind the rules of the traditional art form. She combines needlecraft with collage, found objects, and papermaking. Liz has taught classes around the United States and Switzerland, garnering awards along the way.
George works mostly in oil pastels, showcasing animals and sights from his lifetime of travel. He fell in love with the people of Nepal in the Himalayas and now supports the Small World foundation. Through education and general support, the Small World helps girls and women meet their potential. The proceeds of George's art go directly to support 21 amazing young women attending medical school there.
The work on display is for sale. Light refreshments and jazz piano with Castro Valley Arts Foundation curator and artist Susan Sarti and trumpeter and photographer Bruce Cassaday will be part of the afternoon. 19501 Redwood, Free parking.
