Featured Artist: Rita Spina Come admire and buy the beautiful artwork of Rita Spina! Nature's organic materials and their interplay with man-made stuff—metal, paint, and various cast-offs- intrigue structural artist Rita Spina. By combining technology's detritus with nature, original configurations are altered, re-birthed and recycled. As an inveterate doodler, she transforms her own "scribblings" of semi-abstract trees, flowers, leaves, mazes and amoebae into dynamic layered forms. Her work is at home in galleries, private collections, and public art settings. Come enjoy her work! |
