Goly Ostovar Paintings

Goly Ostovar
Artist and traveler


I went to Italy in September of 2006. It was awesome. I had an exciting time in Terracina.

I painted a series of small paintings which I gave away as gifts to new friends and people who helped me in Itlay.

I met a lot of creative and fun people. I made a really good friend there who taught me how to cook and we went to a lot of parties. I did not teach a workshop like I had taught I would. I and my friends were too busy as it was to study the language and see the sights and hang out with the new Italian friends.

I developed a greater understanding of the culture and the area for teaching future workshops.
