Recently returned from a painting trip to Wyoming, local artist Carol Santora was invited to exhibit her work for the month of November at WiggleWeigle Books ‘In a Bind Gallery’, 25 Alfred St (Route 111), Biddeford, with an opening reception at the Biddeford Art Walk, Thursday October 25, 5-9 pm. The exhibition continues through November 26. Gallery hours are Sunday and Monday 10am-5pm, and Tuesday through Saturday 10am-8pm.

The internationally-collected, award-winning artist’s body of work includes expressionistic and soulful animal and wildlife paintings. From colorful, yet intimate close-ups of bison and grizzlies to whimsical groupings of Holsteins and Belted Galloway cows, Santora captures the essence and personalities of the animals.

Santora (BFA, Framingham State College) has loved animals of all kinds since she was a child and that passion is colorfully expressed in her work. At home with several media, her favorite is pastels because of the clean, intense color. FMI contact In a Bind Gallery at 282-1212 or Carol at 985-2830.
