During the months of February, March and April, artist Miriam Wotiz will display her oil and watercolor paintings at the Milton Public Library. Her works have been described as spontaneous, striking and luminous, and she interprets, rather than imitates, scenes from nature.  Her paintings capture the fleeting effects of light and color and allow the viewer to participate in the visual experience. During the three-month exhibit, a few works by her son, Howard Lizotte, will be included.  His works are “encaustic paintings” which are works in pigmented wax.  Enjoy the free exhibit on the Main Floor of the Milton Public Library, 476 Canton Avenue, Milton, MA  02186.  For more information, visit the library’s event section of the library’s website.  (miltonlibrary.org)
