Artistry, on sale

Are you buying art these days?
You might want to consider it, especially when it will be offered in a unique setting this weekend — an outdoor art sale featuring the works of a local artist.
I’ve just gotten off the phone with Piermont artist (and chef) Phyllis Segura.
My friend and colleague Emily Kratzer had told me about her — and what Segura has planned for this weekend — so I decided to find out more and called Segura myself.
It turns out she’s decided to finally take a lot of her large-scale acrylic paintings and sell them.
“I have a lifetime of artwork, and there’s no place to put it anymore,” Segura, 66, tells me.
She expects to show some 20 of her larger abstract works ($300 to $400), along with a selection of drawings and photographs. (The smaller, matted photographs will start at $5).
Segura, who’s exhibited throughout Europe and worked on murals in Times Square, says it was simply a time to move some of her stuff along.
“It’s just sort of silly (that) they’re in storage,” she says.
But make no mistake, this isn’t any old sale.
“It’s not a garage sale,” Segura says. “It’s art.”
She’ll have her work displayed — from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, weather permitting — right off Piermont Avenue.
Look, as Segura says, for the driveway between the community market (at no. 485) and a purple house and go around to the rear.
