We are excited to present a show featuring two female artists that have each exhibited their work for over 25 years. This is the first time that Serena Bocchino and Nola Zirin have exclusively shared a two-person show, which will reveal their unique approaches to color and composition. 

By exhibiting side-by-side, the exhibition displays the power of their work through their individual use of color.
