The Long Island Arts Council at Freeport (LIACF) Art Alcove Gallery is showcasing a Black History Month Exhibition featuring fine artist Marcia Odle-McNair.

Her paintings are skillfully crafted contemporary masterpieces. These powerfully constructed artworks are inspired by extraordinary abstract African American artists, including Alma Thomas’ penchant for pulsating colors, Sam Gilliam’s use of shaped canvas, and William T. Williams’ presentation of bold geometric shapes. Odle-McNair’s artworks are rooted in African designs with a blend of Modern Art aesthetics.
