On First Friday, October 2nd, and during the month of October, The Artists’ Gallery will feature the newest work by Kathy Kopec.  Kathy is an exhibiting artist with The Artists’ Gallery.  As noted by Kathy, “While beauty can be found everywhere in our

immediate surroundings, images of distant places fuel our imagination of a wider world.  I’ve tried to capture the essence of distant places; the quality of light, architecture or atmosphere.  Walking through the alleyways of the Jerusalem bazaar
heightened all of my senses and I hope my painting conveys this to the viewer.”
