Gallery 255's September exhibit features work of Lina Ferrara

Lewisburg, Pa. — This September, Gallery 255 will display the dazzling oil paintings of Lina Ferrara.

Ferrara's paintings excel at highlighting everyday scenes, animals, and flowers with her skilled usage of light and color. Her style has been described as "ethereal and impressionistic."

Ferrara's artwork has gained international acclaim, with her paintings earning spots in various private collections around the world and institutions like the White House and the Library of Congress. Her style and painting subjects are frequently inspired by her childhood, when she lived on a farm in Italy, and her later studies in art history.
