SUMMARY:Bodzin Art Gallery Special Event: Meet the Artist
DESCRIPTION:Reception\, meet the artist\, and flute performance \n\n\n\nIlana Hever is an artist and psychotherapist\, with a background in art\, philosophy\, and psychology. She lives among trees and lakes and paints the impressions that meet the eye. Ilana analyzes the symbolism and the philosophy that objects of nature send us. \n\n\n\nIlana likes to walk among nature and people to make her own photos and transfer them to canvas. Then\, she invites us to step through the doorway of the canvas and enter the world of healing and peace when each picture creates a narrative in and of itself\, that is open to interpretation. \n\n\n\nIlana uses oil paint and her style takes inspiration from impressionism’s small visible brushstrokes. \n\n\n\nIlana’s exhibit\, “Joyful Journey with People\, Places\, and Nature” will be on display in the Bodzin Art Gallery from March 21-May 6\, 2024.
