Positive/Negative Perspective by Frank Guida on View at the Harrison Library

The Harrison Public Library presents Positive/Negative Perspective by Frank Guida on view through November 29. Guida graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He has had many solo exhibitions in the area including at Iona University in New Rochelle and at the Audubon Center’s Kiernan Hall in Greenwich. He has won several awards at juried shows and is represented in numerous collections. He has been teaching art for over 30 years. Most currently, he is teaching at the Pelham Art Center and at the New York Botanical Garden.

According to Guida, he has always been fascinated by nature. Its “diversity and beauty that can be found in our small local preserves is more subject matter than one lifetime could ever capture on paper.” For him, drawing is “the way I can most clearly convey what I feel and see. In the process, I become more aware and more intimate with the natural world.” Recently, he has been enjoying sharing his “discernment of the interaction of light and dark by focusing many of my compositions on the play of positive versus negative.”
