The Lamorinda Arts Council presents artwork from Marie Cotter, Hallie Strock, Carol Tarzier and Mike Yashar at the in-person and virtual Art Gallery at the Orinda Library during the month of August. Meet the artists at a reception in their honor on Sat. Aug. 7 from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. where light refreshments will be served.

Cotter paints in a variety of mediums including mixed media (watercolor, inks and pastels) and enjoys painting plein air on a weekly basis. Strock works with linoleum block prints focusing on composition and color. Tarzier presents still life, figurative and landscape paintings in this show. Yashar “likes the freshness and brightness that can only be achieved with pastel.”

Hours are Mon. – Thur., 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., Fri. – Sat., 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., closed Sun. Call 925.254.2184 for more information about the Library or visit http://ccclib.org/.
