DanielakArt is pleased to announce A Touch of Red - a new exhibition of paintings celebrating the color red at Phantom Galleries LA - Homestead House on the corner of Colorado Boulevard and El Molino in Pasadena.  An opening reception for the artists will be held on Saturday evening, March 8, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.

Featured artists include Pasadena-based abstract painter Linda French, who created new work for the exhibition, African-American artist Toni Scott, a former grand prize winner in American Photo Magazine's annual competition, and award-winning local figurative painter, Julie Snyder. 

A native of Scotland, Ms. Snyder, who is new to DanielakArt, studied drawing and painting at the Glasgow School of Art.  Her artistic career has spanned both sides of the Atlantic and included several years of study in Southern Spain.  She forged her craft as an illustrator in advertising, publishing and the motion picture industry, including Warner Bros.  Her distinctive work tells the stories of everyday people in their environment.  For this exhibition, her work features images of boxers and dancers each sporting an outfit that has just a touch of red.    

Larger scale works by contemporary artists Adam Bota and Clemens Wolf are also included in the exhibition.  Their artwork is curated by Edgar Varela, Director of Edgar Varela Fine Arts of Los Angeles.  The exhibition also includes artwork curated by Liza Simone.   

This Phantom Galleries L.A. installation is located at the former Homestead House Building in the historic Pasadena Playhouse District.  Artworks will be displayed in storefront windows visible from the street 24 hours a day, seven days a week until March 25, 2008.  The artists' reception is taking place Saturday evening, March 8, 2008 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.  The reception is free and open to the public.  For further information please contact Margaret Danielak at 626-683-9922 or visit www.danielakart.com.
