Parker’s Playground! The playful paintings from Patricia Zinsmeister Parker

The Shaker Historical Society (SHS), 16740
South Park Blvd. in Shaker Heights, OH announces
the installation of a solo art exhibit Parker’s
Playground, the playful, abstract and vibrant paintings from Patricia Zinsmeister Parker in the Jack
and Linda Lissauer Gallery. Join SHS members and friends for an exquisite FREE Opening Reception on Friday,
November 15th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

One of the Ohio’s finest examples of American expressionist painters, Patricia Zinsmeister Parker has become known for her
expressive paintings and still life works on paper that over time has shaken up
the typical and the pristine canvases
of the New Realist painters. Dr. Lou Zona, Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Butler Institute of American Art
stated, “Parker has a knack for creating playful but elegant works which rely
as much on pictorial puzzles and zaniness as upon formalist knowledge and
technical handling.”

Parker holds degrees from Kent State University and has taught at The
University of Akron. Her work is in hundreds of corporate and private
collections. She has exhibited across the nation, and has been awarded best in show for painting at the CMA May Show. She is represented by several galleries
including the Harris Stanton Gallery and now by the Sweet Art Gallery, Naples, FL. Join us to see
vibrant, evocative and poetic images and to speak to the artist herself!

Guests are also encouraged to see our new
rotating exhibit Miniature Wonderlands (November 19 –
January 19th, 2014). Enjoy holiday sparkle with miniature rooms, dolls houses plus model
trains! View the collections of Jerry Arnold, The Cleveland Miniature Society,
and Bob Orlando. Embrace your inner child and wonder at a miniature world. For
