Gallery Opening: Marina Troy “Retrospective”
Where: Gallery Clarendon, 2800 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington
When: Opening reception March 8, 5-8 p.m.
Local artist Marina Troy’s expressive acrylic paintings depict the Adriatic beaches and bare mountains of her childhood in Croatia. Her tool of choice: expired credit cards (ingenious), which she uses in lieu of a palette knife to paint in wide strokes before making smaller marks and edits with brushwork. Her “Retrospective” show opens on Friday, March 8 and runs through March 31.
