Editor's Note: The following post was submitted by the .

The public is invited to celebrate the works of professional artist Wally Kaplan of University Heights at Solon Center for the Arts’ Gallery on Thursday, June 7. The free reception is from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm and will feature her exhibit entitled "Through My Eyes."

"Through My Eyes" includes beautiful paintings and pastel pieces of Wally’s recent trips to Africa and the Galapagos. Ms. Kaplan uses rich color in her work. Everyday people are often the subjects in her portraits and her landscapes reflect her love of nature and the magic that light plays on water, sky, and beaches. 

Her work has been exhibited in solo and juried exhibitions throughout Ohio.  Her pastel “Heavenly Sunset” was chosen for the cover of the 2007 Cleveland Gallery Guide. Most recently, a painting from Ms. Kaplan’s "Dreams of Africa" series was shown in the 2nd Annual Lakeland Community College Art Show. 

The paintings and drawings will be on exhibition June 4 through June 29, 2012.  The SCA Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm and Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Solon Center for the Arts is located at 6315 SOM Center Road. For more information, call SCA at (440) 337-1400.
