Harrison Council for the Arts presents
“Calligraphic Art” by Mary Padilla at the Harrison Public Library, 2 Bruce
Avenue October 6 to November 8 with an opening reception October 12 from 2:00
to 4:00 p.m. Dr. Padilla’s art work makes use of the Asian line, materials, and monochromatic convention of writing. Abstracting in a stylistically Western way from Japanese calligraphy, which was itself derived from ideographs, in a sense reverses that process – these images return by allusion to the original meaning of the words in both form and concept. Dr. Padilla is a Veterinarian practicing in Armonk, NY. She also teaches the Alexander Technique. Dr. Padilla studied sculpture, drawing, painting, and calligraphy at The Art Students League, Silvermine School of the Arts, Clay Art Center and Westchester Art Workshop. She has exhibited her work in solo and group shows throughout Westchester and Connecticut. The exhibit may be viewed Mondays and Wednesdays 9:30am to 9pm; Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Sundays 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. For info call the Library at 914/835-0324 or see ww.harrisonpl.org.
