Body of Work Exhibits in August

The Art of Sisters at the Seacoast Artist Association during the Month of August
Paintings by Michele Rofrano and Karen Romagna

Michele Rofrano and Karen Romagna

Michele Rofrano and Karen Romagna are sisters who share a love of life and art and are thrilled to share these with others. During the month of August they will do just that with their Body of Work shows at the Seacoast Artist Association in Exeter. Michele and Karen also share a special person in their lives and she is their sister, Maryclare Heffernan, who is also a fine artist and gallery member of SAA and co-chair of their Scholarship Committee. (You may remember Maryclare’s successful Body of Work show at the SAA this past April.) The three of them have collaborated to form Three Sisters Fine Art https://www.threesistersfineart.com in hopes of sharing their art and inspiring others to follow their dreams.
