DAZZLING ART AT JEFFERSON VALLEY MALL
Marla Beth Enowitz, artist and founder of Marla Beth Designs, is dazzling shoppers at the Jefferson Valley Mall in Yorktown Heights with her latest public art display ”“ a collection of 10 mannequins, each painted in a unique, whimsical design, along with a new large-scale drip mural titled “Rainbow Rain.”
Stretching 660 square feet, “Rainbow Rain” is Enowitz”™s largest canvas yet. With bold colors in cascading organic drips, the mural features words of inspiration and positivity that transform the otherwise blank mall barricade.
“The paint drips drizzle down like rain drops ”“ all at different lengths and in a rainbow of color,” explained Enowitz. “The inspirational words layered on top are there to bring a smile to those that pass by. It”™s my vision of springtime.”
A Rye Brook momprenuer, Enowitz turned her love of painting from hobby to business once the pandemic hit. Her creations, described as ”˜happy art,”™ are often inspired by the imaginative minds of children.
“We are so grateful to Marla and her eye for color, brightness and love,” said Alexa O”™Rourke, general manager of Jefferson Valley Mall. “Her artistic talent adds so much to our center and her design blends really well with our other art installations across the property. We are thrilled to be a new art and culture hub in northern Westchester.”
Jefferson Valley Mall is a Yorktown Heights”™ shopping destination, home to more than 80 national and local retail, dining and entertainment options.
