Press Release Summary = Albany, NY - Indian artist, Bhavna Muthyala, will be
showcasing her artwork at the Stockade Villager's Outdoor Art Show in Schenectady,
NY on Saturday, September 9, at 11:00 AM. Muthyala and other local artists will vie
for over $1200 in prizes. The public will have the opportunity of purchasing their
artwork. The artist will be showcasing several abstract works on canvas along with
hand-made greeting cards.

Press Release Body = Warmth With A Purpose is a 16 x 20 acrylic piece that speaks to
the materialistic world to which we are all subject, yet fight desperately to
escape. Muthyala uses black, gold and hues of maroon to create a rich tapestry that
is both entrancing and unmistakable.

Sunset, an 18 x 24 acrylic piece, pays homage to the sun. Alternating between
fierce and gentle orange and blue brush strokes, Muthyala depicts both the harshness
and tranquility of this luminous source. "I love painting in acrylic." Muthyala
states, "It allows me greater room for experimentation and is a medium that I'm very
comfortable using."

Muthyala considers herself a multi-cultural artist who draws inspiration not only
from world cultures, but from nature and emotions. She uses a variety of media
including acrylic paint, ink and charcoal. Her love of Henna, an ancient Indian art
form of painting beautiful designs on the hands, arms and feet of brides and
brides-to-be, is quite evident in her hand-made greeting cards. \"I\'m always excited
to see what people take away from my paintings,\" she beamed. Muthyala will also be
showing her work at the Bad As Art Gallery on 316 Delaware Ave in Albany as well as
at the Kismet Gallery in Troy. The artist may be reached at artbybhavna@hotmail.com.

Bhavna Muthyala was born in Bangalore, India and graduated from the Eastern
Connecticut State University with a degree in Business Administration. She has
exhibited her artwork at the Blue Moon Gallery, Fulton Street Gallery and the Green
Living Festival. She has also contributed artwork for silent auctions hosted by the
Capital District Humane Association, the National Kidney Foundation and the Mental
Health Association in New York State, Inc.
