(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Fall brings us vibrant colors, the sounds of children playing at school and park playgrounds, outdoor fields offer lively sport games, and a cool breeze allows us to bring out cozy warm sweaters. This fall, Ficus Art Gallery presents Playful Medley, an exhibit that allows us to take those playful feelings of autumn through a colorful and spirited art show featuring artists, Catherine Martzloff, David Orban, and Leyla Spencer. The exhibit is on display until January 8, 2024.
Catherine Martzloff’s interest in color is certainly evident in her work and her personal journey’s are reflective in each work of art. Her style, which may remind you of Henri Mattise, is a more modern interpretation of impressionism and all unique to her own.

David Orban, artist and teacher in NJ, clearly has a playful style. Viewers may be reminiscent of their childhood toys (maybe their parents) or the tools of yesteryear with his spirited display of vintage items. His designs and faded primary colors give a choreographed feel; as though those objects may perform for us all.
Leyla Spencer, mosaic tile artist extraordinaire! Leyla takes small tiles, gems,and found objects to create vibrant swirls and picture designs to eye catching artwork. A guitar, entitled, Night Guitar is a rock star’s dream. Animal mosaics have a whimsical and dream-like quality.
