ECKONING VIEWERS to appreciate the simple beauty of ballet slippers, intimate portraits, masquerade masks, and more, Angela Ferraro’s works possesses an enchanting quality. This fall, after 40 years of painting, Ferraro is hosting her first solo show at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club as a part of its 2nd Fridays Art program through December 2nd. Titled Avanti, the show highlights Ferraro’s talents both as a painter and mixed media artist. “I love to look at things that are more contemporary, like the ballet slippers,” explained Ferraro. “But I wanted to paint them where I want people to be able to reach in and pull that slipper right out of the canvas.” Born in Italy, Ferraro has lived in Santa

Barbara for the past 30 years. Classically trained in the tenebrismo technique, she has exhibited her work in many juried art shows across Southern California, with a number of her pieces displayed in private collectors’ homes. She is also a Santa Barbara Studio Artists board member, and volunteers with the Lobero Theatre Foundation. Displayed on the Santa Barbara Tennis Club’s lobby walls, Avanti transports viewers into periods of personal reflection and admiration in presenting a series of highly detailed paintings alongside innovative collages and assemblages. Many of these works depict or actually are made of masquerade masks that represent different creative themes or ideas. Ferraro’s lifelong love of ballet is also clearly celebrated through both paintings and assemblages featuring real ballet slippers. Additional works reflect natural

imagery, from skillfully rendered portraits of birds to collages that combine cutout images to create original, intriguing compositions. Meanwhile, compelling portraits show Ferraro’s ability to faithfully capture human emotions and spirit. “I named it Avanti because in Italian, it means to go ahead, let’s go forward, and that’s how I felt after being closed up for two years,” explained Ferraro. “I’m glad I did it. I really am, I’m quite happy with the show.”
