The Cambria Center for the Arts is pleased to present our “Travel” Exhibit featuring the work of Eric Oksen.
Eric Oksen strives to evoke a sense of place through his paintings. He enjoys using windows in his art as powerful visual elements to draw viewers into every scene, conjuring imagined conversations and events. Water scenes also delight Oksen, as they allow him to explore light, color, and reflection through thoughtful application of paint to canvas.
When: July 1 to August 31 (Tuesday through Sunday, 12 to 4 pm)
Artist’s Reception: Saturday, July 5th 4:30 to 6:00 pm
Contact: www.cambriaarts.org or gallery@cambriaarts.org
