Montara artist’s Katrina-inspired paintings on exhibit at La Di Da

Montara artist, Nancy Margulies’ paintings are on exhibit for the month of December at La DiDa in Half Moon Bay. The exhibit includes a series of acrylic on canvas images based upon newspaper images of people in New Orleans during the weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. The work depicts the experience of people attempting to wade through waist high waters, being lifted by helicopter, awaiting rescue at the Superdome.

The original canvases and poster made from them are available for sale. The posters have been sold in New Orleans to raise funds for local not-for-profit organizations serving the children of New Orleans. One hundred percent of the proceeds from sales will be donated to these organizations.

The exhibit will move from Half Moon Bay to Houston, Texas and then Austin, Texas where it will be exhibited to raise awareness of the plight of New Orleans residents.

Additional works on display include seascapes, sunsets, and "fogscapes" that lend balance to the exhibit, suggesting new beginnings and depicting the beauty of nature.

Photographs of the work are available on disc upon request from Nancy Margulies, 650-728-9287
