Patchogue Artist featuring Long Island Landscapes on Display at Roast Coffee & Tea

Now on display in the PAC Members Gallery at Roast Coffee and Tea Trading Co. is a series of pastel paintings by Linda Beckerman. The pastel paintings in this exhibition represent her attraction to the landscape of Long Island, as Beckerman captures the mystique and serenity of the natural world around her. Several themes run through Beckerman’s paintings such as the changing colors of nature through the seasons, the reflective properties of water, and man’s diminished presence in the natural world.

Beckerman is a multi-disciplined artist, currently living in Patchogue, NY. She is the Executive Director of the multicultural arts organization Worldwide Voices, and Vice President of the multi-lingual publishing corporation Heartworks International, Inc. Beckerman has exhibited her artwork across Long Island.

The Patchogue Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 2008 to promote, encourage, and support the arts on the greater south shore of the Town of Brookhaven. The Patchogue Arts Council and Roast Coffee and Tea Trading Company created the PAC Members Gallery at Roast in the summer of 2013 as an alternative exhibition venue where PAC members can exhibit their artwork. In addition to exhibiting artwork and brewing award-winning coffee, Roast Coffee and Tea Trading Co. hosts weekly open mic nights on Tuesdays and Fridays and a monthly poetry night on the first Saturday of every month. Pastel Landscapes by Linda Beckerman is on display at the PAC Members Gallery at Roast from May 11 – June 22, 2015.
