Beaver Valley Artists will host award winning artist, Cara Livorio, for a free painting program on Oct. 10.

Livorio is a resident of Pittsburgh and obtained her bachelor of fine arts in drawing and painting from Penn State University before then pursuing graduate studies in visual art and curatorship at New Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, Italy.

Her craft centers on color, form, light and the tactual physicality of the paint. Livorio’s style is expressive and rich with vibrant color, and she uses myriad techniques to construct dynamic and palpable experiences, according to a news release from Beaver Valley Artists.

The event will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Merrick Art Gallery, 1100 5th Ave., New Brighton. Refreshments will be served.
