WESTFORD — Dave Martsolf is June’s Artist of the Month at the Parish Center for the Arts.
He began painting in 1979, having originally studied architecture at the Massachusetts’s Institute of Technology before shifting to an art degree.
“By the time I got through high school, I thought ‘I probably want to be an architect,'” he said.
After taking a number of art history classes, he left MIT for the University of New Hampshire where he finished a Bachelor of Arts degree.
He notes much of his work on display at the Parish Center for the Arts are his recent works.
“The work you would see here spans the most recent years,” he said.
Martsolf says his work is “driven first by surrealism,” but notes he has done work in abstracts.
His work will be on display through June 26. Gallery hours are held every Sunday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
