“VOYAGE” art exhibit of Nella Lush and Steven Lush

 The rich colors and emotive power of these combined works in oil and watercolor will allow viewers a glimpse into the world that Nella and Steve have shared for the past 34 years together. Nella’s large formatted oils exhibit the earthen colors of her native home in southern Italy. Steve’s watercolors provide the viewer an opportunity to see his interpretations of scenes and events from his time working in the Merchant Marine.

Both artists are well traveled and lived in Spain and Italy several years before moving to North Andover. Nella is an artist member of many national and local art associations and has exhibited in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Italy and Spain. She is also represented by the Royal Gallery in Providence, R.I. Steve is an artist member of several local and national maritime art societies and is a master model ship builder. Steve will be exhibiting in the Mystic Maritime Gallery in September and is presently exhibiting work in the Ventura County Maritime Museum in California.

“Voyage” will be at the Laura Combs Hills Gallery of the Newburyport Art Association from July 10 to July 23, 2008. You are invited to the reception on Friday evening July 11, from 7 to 9 PM at the gallery 56 Water Street, Newburyport.
