Lucia Neagu – Abstract paintings
A Retrospective
April 29 – June 21, 2024
Opening Reception
May 2nd from 5:00 – 7:00 PM
at the Community Center
Her creative path took her to abstract expressionism using acrylic paints. Lucia’s themes reflect her observations about life and nature. “Making order of the beginning chaos, watching the flow of paints, observing how intentions are taking form, and bringing color alive is the greatest pleasure and reward a painter can have”, she says. Today at age 87, she is reflecting back on her life’s achievements.
