I have walked by this Art Gallery many times, but my recent walk by, drew me in - Big Time!What did it for me, you ask.Well it was the art of Alena Krutogolova.So bright, so whimsical with most of the carefully created pieces being of animals I Love and adore and almost always make me laugh. And the names of each piece were so clever, of which many, I could personally relate to.PLUS, her art was available in a post card set 10 for $15.00. Happy Birthday to me. I couldn't afford the bigger pieces. All or most all were captured in the 3x5 cards.I have since been back to the gallery about three times and have had wonderful conversations with Max. What a lovely guy, so engaging and clearly a wonderful representative for artists. The way he displayed her art also created more conversation.This artist in particular he knows personally and is doing the showing to support her and the people of Ukraine. The best part we were able to engage in conversation about every piece on display. Noting similarities in each piece. Which Max explained to me were very much a part of the Ukrainian culture, which I found fascinating.If you are in the area, don't just walk by, go in and let Max tell you the stories. Let the art talk to you and share your experience.
