Current Exhibit

Sept. / Oct.: Geri Arata is exhibiting at Comerica Bank.

"After exploring many different mediums and expressions of art, my artistic discipline has taken the form of Representational Figurative Art in oils -specifically, the Portrait. As human beings, we are drawn to the human face, searching for clues into the private world of individuals. We find clues in their culture, manner of dress, grooming, and age. We look deep into their eyes to see if they reveal any of their secrets. I want to search those faces, explore their secrets, and learn from their life stories."
