A showing of Nahda Balaa's work

On Sunday, September 30, 2007, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM the Institute will host a reception and presentation of new paintings by Nahda Balaa.

Many students of the Institute know Nahda and her work and are looking forward to this event. Nahda has travelled extensively, seeking to be inspired by colors and light of different parts of the world. Her French, Italian and Californian scenes are visual poetry, a symphony of colors, and a testimony to her mastery of both watercolor and painting on silk. Her work has received great acclaim in the US and internationally in southern France (Cannes, 1989), in Florence, Italy (1998) and at the Index 97, Dubai, U.A.E. (1997). Nahda’s latest watercolor scenes were inspired in Europe and painted on silk using an ancient Japanese process. Her Parisian and Italian vistas are exhilarating in their contents of walkways, doors, windows and water fountains, and warmed by an astute choice of colors and shades.

Come by the Insitute on Sunday to greet Nahda and to see her new paintings. We will have wine and goodies and a great Sunday afternoon party, so we hope you can join us. Even if you are on your way to another event, drop in for a few minutes to meet Nahda and see her paintings this Sunday afternoon.
