Speaking of Scotto’s participation in the Community Invitational Exhibition, Art Club Gallery Manager Michael Rose says, “We are delighted to have a contemporary painter of Lee Ann’s caliber in this special group exhibition. Lee Ann’s landscapes honor local sites and meld elements of abstraction and realism to form a unique artistic voice.
