<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.
