During the months of February, March and April, artist Miriam Wotiz will display her work at the Milton Public Library in the first floor gallery. Mrs. Wotiz is known for her spontaneous and strikingly luminous paintings. She works intuitively and with feeling, interpreting nature rather than imitating it. Her paintings capture the fleeting effects of light and color and allow the viewer to participate in a visual experience. A magna cum laude graduate of Brown University, the artist has received numerous awards and has exhibited her paintings in solo and juried shows throughout Massachusetts and Maine. She was invited to display her watercolors at the opening of the Milton Art Museum and served as an artist-in-residence at the American Heart Association’s annual fund-raising event, “Art for Heart.” Miriam belongs to the North Shore Arts Association, the Concord Art Association and the Western Maine Art Group. She was on the Advisory Council and former Treasurer of the Milton Art Association and past President of the Canton Art Association. She is also a member of the Professional Affiliated Artists of the Milton Art Museum. Her paintings are in permanent collections of U.S. senior corporate officers and are included in private collections in London, Tokyo, Lisbon and St. Maarten. She is listed in the book Artists of New England. There will be various paintings shown during the three-month exhibit, including both oils and watercolors and also a few works by her son, Howard Lizotte, which are described as “Encaustic Painting (pigmented wax).” Please come and enjoy this fine display by two talented painters. For more information about displaying your art at the library, contact Jean Hlady, Adult Services Librarian, (Reference Department) at (617) 698-5757.
