SUMMARY:Each Canvas Has a Story Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Artworks by Nina Joffey\nReception: Sunday\, July 14 • 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. \nNina Joffey discovered painting unexpectedly. Her friends took her to a sip-and paint event where she immediately fell in love with painting.  An early retirement after many years of work in the Information Technology sector provided the time needed to explore her new passion. \nNina’s painting voyage began in 2017 when she started taking art classes at Reston Community Center and with some well-known artists. She explored art through international painting trips with artists like Christine Lashley\, Adrianne Wyman\, and Walt Bartman.  Painting helped her to discover a new world and a new self. “Art helps to open the eyes on the beauty of the world; notice things you did not notice before and makes you more observant and curious. “ \nIn 2021 Nina had a solo exhibition at Reston Community Center Hunters Woods where she presented more than 100 paintings.  More recently was a solo exhibition at Arts Herndon.  Nina is a member of the League of Reston Artists as well as the Vienna Art Society.  She participates in the League’s “Art in Public Places” where her work is exhibited in public areas like libraries\, community centers\, and hospitals. She regularly exhibits her work in several Vienna and Reston galleries and has received many awards. With the Vienna Art Society she was involved in the project ‘Take a Seat Vienna’ and designed and painted two benches in 2023. These benches were auctioned in November to private and commercial buyers. \nNina is experimenting with media and styles\, but her favorite at this moment is oil in a semi-traditional style. She loves to do portraiture\, as well as to paint nature and cities. Her inspiration comes from travelling\, observing\, and just seeing the beauty in simple things.  This “Every Canvas Has A Story” exhibition is focused on travel impressions and memories.  If you want to see more of her paintings\, please check out her website:  www.ninajoffey.com. \nContact: Nina Joffey: njoffey@gmail.com
