The Foster City Art Gallery is proud to announce the opening a new exhibition on January 4, 2011, featuring well-known local artist, Gail Ragains. A reception for the artist will be held from 2 PM to 4 PM on Saturday, January 15, 2011 at the Art Gallery. This exhibit will be on display from January 4 through January 30, 2011.

Local artist Gail Ragains will exhibit her recent “Windy Hill Series” of abstract landscape paintings along side several of her figurative paintings. Ms. Ragains’ paintings have a strong physical and expressive style, pushing the envelope with bold, gestural brushstrokes and compelling colors. Each painting is a statement of color, design, layers, and line.
