The Charleston Artist Guild is pleased to present Teatime and Other Stories, a collection of medium and small works by Valentina Messina. Valentina is the featured artist for the month of December and opens with a reception on Friday, December 6, 2019.

Valentina Messina is an Italian painter who chose to move to this beautiful town five years ago and recently (and proudly) became an American citizen. Her works are inspired by the beauty she finds in simple objects, like the teacups that she has been collecting for years. Her palette is very colorful and delicate like the objects she likes to paint. The exhibition will include many small works that could be appreciated as Christmas gifts.

Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, December 6, at the CAG Gallery, located at 160 East Bay Street, Charleston, from 5-8 pm. Sales made at the gallery support the Guild’s non-profit

community outreach programs. You can find more information about Valentina and her paintings by visiting her website www.valentinamessina.com.
