Northbrook Local Artist Karina Llergo Juried Artist at 13th Annual Lakeview East Festival of the Arts

Northbrook local artist Karina Llergo returns as a juried artist to the 13th Annual Lakeview East Festival of the Arts. The official hours for the Lakeview East Festival of the Arts, located on Broadway Ave. from Belmont Ave. north to Hawthorne St., are Saturday, Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. with additional hours for live music, food and drink tents until 10 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 10 from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.

An award-winning artist, Llergo specializes in oil on canvas with heavy paint applied with palette knife in some areas, for a 3D effect. Her paintings often depict dancers and figurative paintings, showing "energy through human motion." She calls it "alchemy for the eyes." Her goal is that when a viewer looks closely at one of her pieces, they will not only see ethereal images and feel their essential vitality, but also be moved to generate positive forces in their own life. Her awards include "Best in Show" and "Best in Catergory" from various arts festivals and was named as a "Female Artist You Should Know" by the The National Museum of Women in the Arts. You can see her work at https://karinallergosalto.com/.

The 2017 Lakeview East Festival of the Arts showcases more than 150-juried artists featuring world-class original paintings, sculpture, photography, furniture, jewelry and more. In addition to the diverse artists’ booths, the Festival also includes live music on multiple stages, an interactive children’s area, wine, beer and food booths, an interactive garden oasis and much more.
