"It's a Colorful Life" A 20-yr Retrospective of Art by Abigail Engstrand at the Sequoya Library, 4340 Tokay Blvd, Madison through Sept.30th

Wandering through this exhibit, you will see images from life, memory and imagination. These paintings and drawings were created in various mediums, including watercolor, oil crayon, charcoal, acrylics, and mixed-media remarked photos. Spanning 20 years, these pieces will transport viewers through seasons, styles, memories and moments from the artist's life. Throughout, Engstrand explores various shades and nuances of meaning, while playing with light, layers of colors, textures, patterns, and puns.
