As a founding member of Gallery RIVAA, Esther Piaskowski – as an artist, she uses only her last name – took part in countless exhibits. Those include her own as well as pitching to help with others. Now, we get a look at her latest work. Luminous opens on Saturday, July 6th.

Come and join us for an extraordinary opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring showcase of Luminous at the Octagon Gallery. This remarkable solo exhibition highlights recent photography by the acclaimed RIVAA Artist and Photographer Piaskowski. Prepare to be captivated by the artist’s pictures as they transport you into a realm of unparalleled beauty and creativity.

Mark your calendars from July 1 to September 29, 2023, and make sure not to miss the grand reception on Thursday, July 6, 2023. Join us from 6-9 pm for an evening of artistic enchantment and immerse yourself in the splendor of Luminous.
