First Friday: Marianna di Lorenzo

Marianna di Lorenzo, longtime resident of Spokane and former owner of Simply Dance Studio, steps out for the first time, to the larger public, with her art show titled "Cocktail Party.” Mostly self-taught in graphite, soft and oil pastel, acrylics and oil painting, she explores a wide variety of subjects in the mediums mentioned but always favors the challenge of creating startling images with a small variety of quality graphite pencils and a good piece of paper.
