From Lisa:
I am delighted to be included in Zolla Lieberman galleries 50/50, opening today, May 1 from 3- 7 PM at 325 West Huron Street, Chicago, in an exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the gallery.
The show will celebrate over 150 artists who have graced the walls of this fine gallery over the last 50 years.
Amongst a list of great artists, my work, the black and white watercolor vessel paintings, is in the main space row.
The show closes June 13, so there’s lots of time to make your way down!
