Indira Servaia: art exhibit

Mount Laurel, April 20, 2012:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Mount Laurel Library will be hosting a painting exhibit by artist Indira Servaia from Tuesday, May 1, 2012 – Saturday, June 30, 2012. A “Meet the Artist” reception will be held on Sunday, May 20, 2012 at 3 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided.

To explain the striking style of Indira Servaia's colors and strokes, one could look to the global span of the multiple cultures from which she draws. A native of India, Servaia arrived in the United States in 2005. Primarily a self-taught, inner-directed artist, she also has studied art in India and in the United States with artists of diverse styles and techniques. Much of her style is inspired by the French Fauvist paintings.

The captivating colors in her paintings demonstrate the artist’s keen powers of observation. She portrays each facet of nature in pure and vibrant forms.

All her works are available for purchase. You can contact her by email at: iservaia@yahoo.co.uk or by phone at 856-722-1982.
