Nomadic Palette: Illustrated Travelogue Watercolors by Irina Mirskaya and Photography by Dennis Gurfinkel

June 6 - Jul 29, 2025

Artist Reception: June 8 from 2 - 4:30 pm

Nomadic Palette: Illustrated Travelogue is a duo art show, featuring watercolors by Irina Mirskaya and art photography by her son Dennis Gurfinkel. Join the picturesque journey portraying scenery in Israel and Spain, Italy and Thailand, NYC, Colorado, and California.

Dennis Gurfinkel enjoys finding beauty in his surroundings, whether strolling through cities or on great outdoor adventures. He grew up immersed in art, and now likes to capture compelling scenes in his day-to-day life or on the road. He captures sharp lines of skyscrapers in New York, the majestic mountains of Colorado and the Western US, tranquil landscapes and medieval architecture of Italy, and the colorful and distinctive imagery of Thailand. Dennis is an avid hiker and rock climber, with a love for the great outdoors. He grew up in Southern California, and now calls Denver home with his wife and three cats.

Irina Mirskaya strives to create a sense of enchantment, portraying mood and emotions in her paintings.  A tiny watercolor palette and a pocket sketchbook accompany Irina in her travels. Atmospheric cityscapes in Spain, picturesque ancient ruins in Israel, romantic sunset in Tuscany, as well as real city dwellers or imaginary inhabitants of the land of Fay influence Irina’s art.

Irina enjoys both digital imaging and conventional painting with watercolor, egg tempera, and oils. Her experience includes art directing of a textile studio, teaching art at Otis College, elementary schools and private workshops, illustrating greeting cards and children’s books, creating art dolls and hand-painted jewelry. In her spare time Irina loves to dance Flamenco.
