An exhibit featuring the work of Irina Milton is now on display at the Arts of Kenmore (AOK) Gallery in Kenmore City Hall, 18120 68th Ave. N.E.

Milton is a national award-winning fine-arts painter from Mukilteo known for her lavish interpretations of everyday life.

The exhibit at city hall will remain on display through Aug. 10.

According to an AOK press release, frequent world travel affords Milton the subject matter to create thought-provoking compositions within the realm of realism.

“I am drawn to people in their native costumes and lifestyles and to the land in which they dwell,” Milton said in the release. “My artist’s eye is most often captured by the simple and private moments of these native people that so often go unnoticed.”

Milton is the featured artist for the 19th Kenmore Art Show. Her painting of a cat perched amongst pantry shelves was incorporated into the poster design for the annual show, which will be open to the public June 21-25 at Bastyr University, 14500 Juanita Dr. N.E. in Kenmore.
