 “OVER THE RAINBOW IN 3-D”

February 21, 2013 – March 29, 2013

Opening reception held on March 8, 2013 from 6-9
p.m.

(Clayton, MO/February 13, 2013) Watch
the Enchanted Forest come alive in the new exhibit “Over the Rainbow in 3-D” by Vic Mastis. Imagine yourself skipping through the ‘Poppy Field’. Your troubles
will melt like lemon drops as you experience select fantasy landscapes. Mastis has perfected a unique style using gold leaf layered with oil glazes. Her paintings reflect the light and invite you into her perspective of the world.
You won’t see lions, tigers and bears…oh my…but you can take a mystifying journey ‘Into the Woods’.

What does 3-D have to do with art? If you have a crystal ball, you may be able to catch a glimpse of how art and 3-D are intertwined.  If not, plan to come to the opening on March 8th from 6-9 pm to find out!

Vic Mastis has been a resident artist at Gateway Gallery in Clayton, MO since its’ inception eight years ago. Her paintings hang in many corporate and private
collections including Anheuser-Busch, the Metropolitan Building in downtown St. Louis, the Cancer Center at St. John’s Mercy Hospital, and the Missouri Athletic Club. Mastis founded Gateway Pastel Artists in 1998. Her award winning art has been featured at various venues including the Edward Hopper House in Nyack, New York and Florida’s Fort Walton Museum and in several galleries
