Holly Johnson Gallery presents the opening of Anna Bogatin: New Paintings.

Bogatin is inspired by the meditative aspects of Buddhism, connecting with nature, and finding the right state of mind in which to create her work. She seeks to create works that explore the understanding and pursuit of happiness in contemporary society. She also takes inspiration from Australian Aboriginal art, which encompasses themes of wandering and becoming connected with one's homeland. Using photography and memories as reference material, the new works are painted traditionally by hand from precise digital studies - bringing into focus a balancing of high tech and high touch.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through July 30.
