Whiskers of Memory

Intimate Animal Portraits

by Elizabeth Lisa Petrulis

Aereole, 30″ x 24″, acrylic on canvas

PETRULIS’ MAGICAL WORLD

Petrulis powerfully evokes both a nonverbal and a magical world of animals. Some are pets; others strays or wild life that she wakes to on any given morning. She grew up with parents who were classical musicians. Like classical music or a ballet that accompanies the music, aesthetics unlock this relatively silent, mum world of animals, yet we feel the energy of dance, space, breathing, humor and love with these works of art. They are as delightful as a symphony or a modern dance choreography on stage with striking theater lights and shadows. And like ballet, a bit of humor invariably sneaks into the mix. And in these works there is always an incredible use of anatomy to intensify the experience. As with most art, it is best enjoyed when one spends a few moments with each piece. Don’t rush through this one. SEE WHAT YOU CAN DISCOVER! There are many rewards to receive in return! The exhibition opens on the First Friday Art Walk, August 2 at 5pm – 8 pm. There will be a second reception on First Friday September 6th at the same time. The show will end September 21. The gallery is open Tues – Sat, Noon – 5 pm.
