Bea Doone-Merena
October 10 through November 7

The greatest pleasure in Bea Doone-Merena’s life is creating art and it is apparent in every one of her paintings. She has mastered old renaissance techniques through her canvas preparations, use of under painting and employment of rich, colorful palettes and glazes. Her range of work stretches from the classical odalisque, to playful animals, to her latest invention of the painted “selfie.” Oil being her favorite medium, she states it “flows over the canvas with a richness not found in other mediums.” Donne-Merena brings life to the human body and various subject matter in her classically rendered style that she has mastered over the years.
