Art Inspired by Monet on Exhibit at Katie’s Coffee House in McLean

Layla Gray's oil paintings inspired by Monet are on view during the month of April at Katie's Coffee House (The Old Brogue Irish Pub), 760 Walker Rd., Great Falls. “During my high school and college years, I studied the Old Masters, mainly Europeans prior to 1800s, and I studied a great deal of impressionist techniques. My art is also influenced by French culture, having lived most of my childhood in and around it. Architecture, both historical and modern, as well as Parisian scenes have always intrigued me,” says the artist, one of the five founding members of Artists on the Green and Gallery.
