Map to free parking at Dominican Center
Dominican Center at Marywood Art Gallery will display the works of Valentina Grigorieva through June 30, 2014. Most of the works are available for purchase.
Valentina Grigorieva is a local artist who lives in Forest Hills. She said,” My family loves Grand Rapids. It is great that we have art in our community and kids can see it.”
Valentina's paintings are personal reflections of her broad interests in subject matter ranging from cityscapes and landscapes, to flora and fauna. Although portraits of people are a favorite mode of expression, Valentina has a special love for abstract art. She works with a variety of different techniques and archival quality medias, but watercolor is her favorite because “it’s free and unpredictable, yet it is the most difficult media to work with”, as she says.
Valentina is a member of Grand Valley Artist and River Town Artist of Grand Rapids. Her work has been successfully exhibited at several galleries and shows, including the West Michigan Regional Art Competition and Artprize.
You can read more about our featured artist and view more of her works at the DCM Art Gallery.

The show changes every two months, giving several local artists a venue to display and sell their artwork each year.
