Pleasant Plains Workshop is pleased to present an exhibition by Annie Albagli, Greetings From Paradise.
Annie Albagli is currently the Teaching Artist in Residence at Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center, where she has been working on a series of multi-layered, unique screen prints combining images from nature and symbols, and employing a multitude of techniques and materials.



With Greetings From Paradise, Albagli explores ideas of personal 'paradise' with a site-specific window installation and an array of large and small-scale screen prints. Viewers will also be invited to contribute to the series by participating in interviews on what 'paradise' is to them. For more information on the artist visit: www.anniealbagli.com
