The Parma Public Library welcomes artist Juanita Link to its Gallery for her September show. Link, a native of Buffalo and now a resident of Parma, is an award winning artist who has been doing art most of her life.
In high school her art teacher encouraged her by making her art-editor of the yearbook. After high school she took classes at the Albright Art School and the University at Buffalo.
After a hiatus to raise her family, she enrolled in continuing education classes, joined the Suburban Rochester Art Group in 1982 and served as their membership chairperson for many years. She is also a member of the Genesee Valley Plein Air Painters. In her quest to constantly gain insight, she has taken workshops with many well-known artists including Judy Soprano, John Piesley, Jean Stephens, Kathleen Giles, Vera Curnow, Harriet Bing Thayer, and Chris Kulupski.
The subjects of her oils and watercolors embrace many themes from landscapes, seascapes and still-lifes to florals. More than a few times, viewers have been heard to say, “I feel like I could walk into them.”
Link has been painting continuously for the last 40 years and has exhibited in many local and regional shows and has work in many private collections throughout the US, England and Spain.
Link says of her work, “It is my mission to create something that speaks to others that they may want to place in their space and enjoy.”
Link’s show is the eighty-fourth in a series of exhibits hosted by the Parma Public Library which feature area artists.
