"Wild Things" Art Show at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts

“Wild Things” Art Exhibit at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts October 13 through December 7, 2015
An exhibit of recent water media paintings by nationally acclaimed artist Rita Sklar (www.ritasklar.com) is featured at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts. “Wild Things” highlights the vanishing birds and other wildlife of the S.F. Bay Area and beyond. Wildlife is an important indicator of the overall health of our environment. Like the proverbial canaries in the coal mine, their decline sends an urgent warning about threats to our water, air and climate.
The Oakland Museum featured Rita Sklar’s works in 2015. She accepted the “Award of Distinction” from the National Museum of Women in the Arts. She was a finalist for the BBC International Wildlife Artist. Her paintings have been selected into national shows by acclaimed jurors. Ms Sklar received a commission from the Alameda County Art Commission and two grants from the Oakland Cultural Arts Fund. She has received over thirty-five awards for artistic excellence and is a signature member of the California Watercolor Association.

A local Children’s Hospital commissioned ten of her works. Her paintings are in prominent government, corporate and private collections.
