Artist Gisela Skoglund featured at Apple Bank in Smithtown
Smithtown Township Arts Council has announced that the works of Kings Park artist Gisela Skoglund will be on view at Apple Bank of Smithtown, 91 Route 111, Smithtown from Oct. 28 to Jan. 3. The exhibition, part of the Arts Council’s Outreach Gallery Program, may be viewed during regular banking hours Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m.to 4 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Skoglund’s life has taken her through many artistic expressions. Early on her original passion was for oil on canvas. In high school she was awarded a scholarship to Pratt Institute where she pursued advertising art.
All her endeavors have brought her to the use of painting in a wide variety of mediums including watercolor, acrylic, oil pastel, pen, and ink. Skoglund’s inspirations come from the beauty of nature and other sights which appear in everyday life. She has exhibited her work in juried and invitational shows across Long Island. “I find that painting transports me to a place where time is forgotten, and I am totally immersed in creativity,” she said.
STAC is grateful to Apple Bank for its continued support of culture in our communities.
