Terre Rybovich Exhibit at ETC Art Gallery
Etc. Gallery continues its popular series of artwork by area artists with a show of new work by master charcoal artist Terre Rybovich, noted for her ethereal, highly detailed images. She has just completed another successful showing in Feria Clandestina, part of Miami Art Week. In addition to sales, hundreds of visitors engaged her in conversation about her singular drawing technique. A third-generation native of West Palm Beach, Rybovich is a daughter of Tommie Rybovich, the noted sport fishing boat designer and builder. Like her father, Rybovich opts to innovate at every stage, continually questioning as she works. The result is constant evolution at the drawing board. And, like her father, Rybovich is largely self-taught in her craft. The Rybovich exhibition will be up from January 9 to 25. Etc. Gallery is located at 257 North Krome Avenue in Downtown Homestead. Open hours are Tuesday thru Saturday, from 11am – 5pm. Email: etc.homestead@yahoo.com for more information. Get details online.
