Local artist’s paintings to be displayed throughout Mill Creek MetroParks

A local artist’s paintings will be displayed throughout Mill Creek MetroParks.

“Painted Memories” by Beth Basista includes more than 40 colorful paintings in oils, acrylics and watercolors most capturing the essence of landscapes found throughout Mill Creek Parks’ 2,658 acres.

“I hope my works inspire others to enjoy this gem of a park, nestled within the city of Youngstown, and to appreciate those who have preserved its natural beauty for us, like founder Volney Rogers, and all who have followed his mission to protect this incredible space,” Basista said in a news release.

The exhibit is free and will be on display Sept. 1 through Oct. 16 in the Weller Gallery inside the Davis Center at Fellows Riverside Gardens, during normal operating hours of Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A Meet the Artist session will take place on Sept. 15 from noon until 2:00 p.m. in the Weller Gallery at Fellows Riverside Gardens.

Basista studied art at Youngstown State University and is from Youngstown. Her work has been featured in various art shows throughout the valley.
