NOTL artist Sandra Iafrate hopes to shine some light on her Gate Street Studio in downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake during the Candlelight Stroll weekend .

On Friday, Dec. 6 the studio at 358 Gate St. will be open all day, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., with live music in the evening by Andrea Polito, who will be singing some carols and opera, Iafrate said. The studio will remain open on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During the weekend Open Studio Art Show and Sale, Iafrate will exhibit her original and print artwork – as well as offer artwork for sale.

She paints primarily in oils, featuring bold and complex nature, floral and foliage pieces.

Recently named a finalist for International Artists Magazine’s garden and flower competition, she said she continues to evolve as an artist.
