Opening reception for "Trees: Totems of Life," paintings by Maria Janina Rizzo. Painting is Maria Rizzo's personal journey to find beauty and balance among texture, color and form. It is also a political journey in which the artist uses her art to create an awareness of endangered trees, the beauty and frailty of nature and, consequently, the necessity of recycling. In Maria Rizzo's paintings, the tree becomes an iconic figure, a "totem of life," ready to emotionally connect with the viewer. To create this expressive imagery, the artist uses her own memories of nature in Italy as her main source of inspiration.
