The Irish Cultural Center Presents: Sara Newton

On First Friday, May 2nd, The Irish Cultural Center will be presenting the artwork of Sara Newton.

Sara Newton will bring her unique paintings of acrylic, mixed media, & watercolors to the Center. Ms. Newton has primarily exhibited her art in the Northwest. She's been represented by Potlatch Gallery in Poulsbo Washington & Native Gallery in Seattle. This particular exhibition will include the Rock series, large abstract work & traditional watercolors.

"My current work is an out growth of the larger rock series. I’m still playing with space & working with the golden ratio." After loosing the vision in her left eye, the artist found that the larger canvas was a better fit to her new visual experience. "I’m finding a new way to work, with a larger format, opacity & more structure."

Chef Frank Hand brings to the Center a wonderful herbed lamb roast, with new potatoes, vegetable barley soup & pound cake with berries & cream. Still the best food & bargain at First Friday at $10 per plate. Dinner will get started at around 6 pm

The Irish Cultural Center located at 1106 North Central Avenue in Phoenix. For further information, please call (602) 258-0109.
