You might not have heard of the talented young artist Gloria Joo, but you still might want to take advantage of your chance to meet her at the open house for her art show from 3-5 p.m. Saturday, May 7, at Fine Impressions Gallery, 8300 Fifth Ave. N.E. The Maple Leaf gallery writes in its monthly newsletter:
Gloria has interned at the gallery on Saturdays while in high school. She is a National Honor Society student, and plays first chair violin in the Seattle Youth Symphony. She has received full tuition and support to attend Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., this fall, where she will pursue studies in neurobiology, with music and art as “interests.”
Gloria’s senior project was to study art and develop a portfolio. In January, she was accepted into the Teen Advisory Program at Seattle Art Museum. The culmination of the project is this event at Fine Impressions to show her portfolio.
Although Gloria has had little training in art, she is a natural artist. Even the work she did before her classes, which she describes as “before I could draw,” is exceptional.
Come meet Gloria and see her work, so you can say you “knew her when….”
And while you’re at the gallery, the newsletter also offers a few tips for those of us who may not be as prepared for Mother’s Day as we’d like:
Still looking for that special greeting or gift? Now’s the time get that special photo or keepsake framed.
Or, how about a bouquet of everlasting flowers? This beautiful little embossed chromolithograph (not on our website, but here in the gallery) is one of dozens of florals you can choose from. Browse through our contemporary and antique botanical sections online, or come in to see all we have.
You can also get one of our gift certificates, good for art or framing, and let Mom do the choosing!
