<h3>
Local
artist, Galina
Kolosovskaya, will present a
solo art show at the beachKraft Gallery in Olney, MD, on view May 9 –
May 31, 2026.</h3>
The
beachKraft StudioGallery of Olney will host an Opening Reception for
the artist on Saturday, May
9,
2026
from 5:00pm-7:00pm.

Born in Russia, Galina Kolosovskaya is best
known for her paintings of flowers and birds. After graduating in
fine arts, she was an active member of the remarkable arts community
in Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East. She served as artistic
director for the Wildlife Foundation, premier environmental
organization working for the survival of the Siberian tiger and
conservation of Russian flora and fauna.&nbsp;

Her
work was shown at numerous exhibits within the Russian Far East, and
may be found in private collections in Russia, Japan, France,
Germany, Canada and the USA. After moving to the United States in
2003, she has continued her delicate still life paintings, and her
newer interest in the birds found here in Maryland.&nbsp; Her works
have been shown in exhibits in Silver Spring, Bethesda, Chevy Chase
and other cities in Maryland. She is a member of Montgomery Art
Association. 
 


Galina
will present a selection of oil paintings with subject matter
including still life, landscape, and animals for this exhibit. Her
paintings reflect the precise realism and tonal gradations often
associated with Russian classical styles and techniques, but also
often show modern and American influences. Her
painstaking approach to oil media is evident in the luminosity of
every day objects in her still life works, and the soft texture of
feathers and fur in animal inspired pieces. Each object or subject is
rendered with care and detail and takes on a special life of their
own as painted elements within the environment of the picture plane.
This exhibit is perfect for those who enjoy classic themes and
rendering in oil painting and modern approaches alike. 
 

The
beachKraft Gallery is excited to show a selection of paintings by
Galina Kolosovskaya throughout the month of May.





See
Galina
Kolosovskaya's
artwork at the gallery, Tuesday through Sunday, 12:30
PM to 7
PM.
An
opening reception will be held for the artist on Saturday May
9,
5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Light refreshment will be available to guests. 
 

Artist
receptions at the gallery are open
to the public and always
free to attend. 



The
beach Kraft Art Gallery is an eclectic, modern gallery that
represents the original creations of over 20 local and nationally
based artists in a 2500 square ft. open space. The gallery promotes
diversity, equality, and inclusion for all guests, artists, and
employees. Our mission is to promote art locally as a working studio
and classroom in tandem with the gallery in ways that benefit the
environment and promote eco-friendly practice.

Lavender Rose Boutiques

Lavender Rose Boutiques is a women-owned small business situated in Olney, Maryland. I have built my brand on timeless, thoughtfully curated fashion that is always stylish. From American-made brands to international labels, I source unique pieces that keep Lavender Rose Boutiques effortlessly fashionable and ahead of the trends. My passion for fashion began as a children’s clothing designer in Harare, Zimbabwe. Working with leading clothing manufacturers, I gained hands-on experience in the entire design and production process—from concept to creation. I moved from Zimbabwe to Italy, and then to England, where I took on the role of a fashion buyer, overseeing luxury boutiques and putting together collections. I am thrilled to start my own fashion adventure, mixing my international experiences into a one-of-a-kind creative vision. The boutique is more than just a shop. It's a place to connect, share style inspiration and celebrate local charm. I am excited to join this neighborhood and can’t wait to collaborate, connect, and grow together. Fondly, Audra
