ARTIST RECEPTION The Art of Play, paintings by Vanessa Montenegro

The Art of Play features the spirited paintings of Peruvian-American artist and triathlete Vanessa Montenegro. Surfing the coast, mountain adventures, ballfields, trails, and encounters with animals—each scene pulses with energy and warmth, bringing joyful immediacy and dynamic movement to her work as she captures the essence of play. Using acrylic markers, oil sticks, colored pencil, and ink on raw wood, her mixed-media paintings reflect a lifelong passion for creating and teaching, as well as a deep love for nature, people, and meaningful connection. Join artist Vanessa Montenegro for an Artist Reception celebrating The Art of Play, a vibrant tribute to how we live and explore with joy.
