The Gallery at First Parish Church
Presents:

Marian Dioguardi
Life, Light and Color (the winter will end)

At the First Parish Art Gallery — January 23, 2009 – March 6, 2009

About Marian Dioguardi:

On Fri., Jan. 23, Marian Dioguardi will open an exhibit of oil paintings called "Life, Light and Color (the winter will end)." When she is asked : "How do you pick your subject?" she answers, "I don't pick my subject: my subject picks me. They have a power which moves me to share the image." Her subjects are often simple objects and scenes: laundry lines, fruit, cups and saucers. They are ordinary objects from ordinary time. Dioguardi, whose laundry line paintings of Venice were featured in Arte In , an Italian art journal, is honored to be exhibiting at The Gallery, First Parish Weston. She is a professional full time oil painter, plain and simple. Using contemporary realism, Dioguardi seeks to find her own way while paying homage to Hopper, Katz, Warhol, and Thiebaud.

About the Mary Jo Rines Gallery At First Parish

The Gallery At First Parish opened September 17, 2000.

On September 13, 2011, the Standing Committee voted to name the Gallery in honor of its founder,
Mary Jo Rines, who died on September 4, 2011. A special exhibit of Mary Jo’s work was on display
in the Gallery from September 20 – September 30, 2011.

Its purpose, as described by the founders:

The mission of The Gallery At First Parish is to add another dimension
to the spiritual fabric of our lives by exhibiting the work of visual artists
who seek to contribute to a deeper understanding of the human condition.

The Gallery is intended to be a service to the parish, the artist and the wider community.

It is open to the public without charge 9 AM – 4 PM weekdays, and 9 AM – 12:30 PM Sundays.
