Brushing up on art

The College of New Rochelle presents “With a Myriad of Brushstrokes” by artist and CNR graduate Valerie Moreno in the Mooney Center Gallery on the main campus from May 21 to June 14, 2011.
As a fine arts graduate of The College of New Rochelle with graduate work in fine arts at Brooklyn College, Montclair State University and the Arts Students League, Moreno uses brushstrokes to create variations of light and shadow,  with washes of color defining texture and form. Her artistic interests include archaeological treasures, historical cities and nature. Moreno attributes her aesthetic development to the exceptional classical foundation in fine arts that she received at The College of New Rochelle and encouragement from her father, who was an architect, and her family. Her love of travel, both nationally and internationally, weave the canvas for her work.

Her accomplishments are included in a file established in the Archives on Women Artists, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C.  She has also developed a series of art/travel-related programs that she presents to various organizations.   

There’s an opening reception on June 11, from 3 to 5 p.m in the Mooney Center Lounge.
Hours are 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Mon.-Thurs. and 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Fri.-Sun.  cnr.edu
