The Medford Public Library’s art exhibit for May will feature works by collage and quilt artist Rita Ortolino-Dioguardi. Rita has been creating collage art since a young girl. What started as childhood art projects has bloomed into unique and colorful pieces of art. These stunning images are spontaneous creations. Her paper collages are created by ripping, not cutting, simple splashes of color from magazines and glossy advertisements, and her quilts are born from simple scraps of material. Each piece of original metal print art is given a witty name that helps bring the creation to life.

The exhibit will be on view in the library’s second-floor gallery during regular hours. Note: This exhibit replaces the one originally scheduled for May, which was to feature paintings by Medford artist Adele Travisano.
