Oil & Acrylic Painting Exhibit

Oil and acrylic paintings by New Jersey artist Benigna Molnar Willman will be on display at the Ridgefield Recreation Center, now through Dec 31st, 2011.

Ms. Benny, as her friends and students refer to her, has made a career from her art for over 50 years. Her works have been displayed throughout the north and southeastern U.S.  She has won many awards and is included in both private and public collections.

Her artwork is rendered in a “Classical Realism” style. Nature has inspired most of her work, but she has the unique ability in finding things to draw in the most unexpected places, from a piece of broken concrete to various shapes she finds in trees. She is especially fond of creating places of tranquility through the use of color and light, and enjoys working in monochromatic colors in abstract and realistic forms.
