Location:  El Paso Electric Gallery – Rio Grande Theatre.

Roy van der Aa, a local artist and publisher of The Ink, a publication that showcases the arts in our community, will be the artist for June in the El Paso Electric Gallery. He says, “I wish to show a body of work from late 2014 to early 2016. These works contain flowing intertwined forms in a bright color palette. Sizes vary from small to the largest piece I have done to date, three feet by four feet.”
