OLD FORGE — The eighth annual Adirondack Pastel Exhibition will be on display until July 31 at View, the Center for Arts & Culture in Old Forge. View is partnering with the Adirondack Pastel Society to bring this selection of pastels to the public.

The juror for the exhibition is Karen Israel. Israel’s paintings are defined by their dynamic compositions and unique viewpoints. She is influenced by the light and mood of the subject and lets those elements dictate her approach. These subjects are rendered with a strong appreciation for the rigors of formal design coupled with a fearless array of color choices.

Among her many awards, Israel’s work placed fourth in Pastel Journal Magazine’s top 100 juried competition. She recently achieved Signature status with the American Artists Professional League, and she has earned Master Pastelist with the Pastel Society of America and Master Circle with the International Association of Pastel Societies.
