Nature is her way

MILFORD - A champagne reception will be held to honor October Artist Of The Month Barbara Mazur from 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 14, at Stevens Auto Group, 717 Bridgeport Ave.

The public is invited.

Mazur, who serves on the board of the Orange Art League, has exhibited in the Orange Library, Whitney Center in Hamden, the Hospital of St. Raphael in New Haven, and the Woodbridge Library, organizers said. Her interest in photography has inspired her artistic abilities to convey nature in its many phases with watercolors and acrylics for the past seven years, oranizers said. She spent 17 years in the advertising business and 15 years working in the promotional/merchandising industry.
