Welcome to the Photo Blog of the Guardino Gallery Opening Receptions The reception for our second show of 2012 was well attended & fun. Chris Giffin (mixed media assemblages) & Maryanna Hoggatt (paintings) opened in the Main Gallery. The Feature Area was filled with the group show about the heart. As someone said that night: It was filled with love.
