Florida — Orange Arts will present the work of artist Marie Francese, a registered nurse from Florida, in her first solo show at the Executive Suite Gallery in Goshen. The exhibit will be on display from Tuesday, Nov. 22, to Thursday, Jan. 5. For Francese, her nursing career and her painting career have balanced each other well. Her artwork focuses on self-awareness with the potential subject or object. She works in water acrylics, and paints mostly realism, some abstract works and an occasional portrait. “Painting is one of the greatest treasures in my life, and I hope this display will convey that,” said Francese. The third floor gallery at the Goshen Government Center is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
