Guarino pleased with turnout for show at Anderson Gallery

Selma artist Cam Walker Guarino said she was pleased with the turnout for her art exhibition and reception at Anderson Gallery on Sunday, July 17.

Guarino, artist for the month of July at Anderson Gallery, said, “It was fun getting to see old friends and others who appreciated my art at both the opening on July 9 and the reception on Sunday, July 17.”

She said she sold one painting and interest was expressed in others. She said some traveled from as far away as Tuscaloosa and Mississippi to see her work.

Guarino said the exhibit at Anderson Gallery will remain up until the end of July and may be viewed by appointment by contacting Gery Anderson. The gallery is located at 730 Selma Ave.

Guarino, artist, Selma native and charter member of the Selma Art Guild Gallery, has spent 34 years teaching art and spreading the love for art to children and adults in Selma and the Montgomery area.
