Artist Maja Nostrant’s “New Works” to be found at MAST in the Lost Barrio

by on Nov. 26, 2010, under Arts, Life

I love the whimsical artwork (oils, acrylics and block prints) by artist Maja Nostrant, having seen her work at at least two art shows in the past, one being the UA Poetry Center recently on September 2nd. She draws everyday people and scenes in a simple unique style, having grown up in Mexico and Scandinavia (Iceland).

On Saturday, November 27, MAST (an eclectic store/gallery in the Lost Barrio) will have an opening reception for Maja’s art, 6 to 9 p.m. Photos courtesy of MAST and UA Poetry Center.

MAST is located at 299 S. Park Avenue, south of Broadway, (next to Tooley’s Cafe). Their phone number is 1-520-720-0299, email is info@ilovemast.com.

I recently wrote about the “Unique Finds to be found at the Lost Barrio” (click here), about the interesting collection of shops there.

Maja’s new art works are part of those unique finds. Enjoy her show.

    Lots of people there at the MAST tonight to view Maja’s lovely artwork.  Her paintings are mostly of women, houses, sailboats, horses, elephants.  I learned tonight that her mother is Icelandic, and her father is none other than artist Francisco Franklin, whom I wrote about last year:

    No wonder there is similarity in those beautiful hand carved frames!
