Please join us for the opening reception of the art exhibition featuring Jeanne Zaske & Lynnie Sterba.

The art show featuring a mother and daughter as artists promises to be a celebration of creativity and familial support. The dynamic between the two artists is characterized by a mutual influence, where each has played a role in shaping the other's artistic journey.

Despite having distinct artistic styles, the similarities in their work suggest a shared aesthetic sensibility and a common source of inspiration. The mother and daughter may have diverse approaches to their craft, showcasing a blend of traditional and contemporary techniques. The differences in their styles add depth and variety to the exhibition, providing viewers with a rich and diverse visual experience.

The theme of their paintings revolves around spreading joy, beauty, and inspiration. Both artists have a knack for creating pieces that resonate with positive emotions, uplifting the spirits of those who encounter their work. Their art serves as a testament to the power of creativity in bringing happiness and inspiration to people's lives.
