EXHIBIT OPENING: Under Foot and Over Head
Launching in late August 2026, Tanya Zaryski and Jerome Evola bring a new exhibition to The Gallery at L.E. Shore!
Jerome and Tanya met through their backyard tree line after a hefty snowfall in the middle of a Covid winter. Jerome had recently moved from Toronto with his family to a Clarksburg house that looked onto Tanya’s back gardens. That initial talk was brief, but art was discussed. They discovered they were both painters and a connection was made.
This is their first two-person exhibition together, showcasing their newest works. Tanya is focused on the natural world, creating detailed environments as settings for her portraits. Her paintings are lush and precise, personally narrative and full of fairytale magic. Jerome takes the long view, looking up to the clouds, studying their formations and capturing them in soft colours and expressive brush strokes. His landscapes are often distant, familiar views, and charged with emotion.
Don’t miss the opportunity to meet these two artists at their grand opening on August 29, 2026, from 2:00-4:00pm. This is a free event to attend, and no registration is required.
The show runs August 29-September 30, 2026.
