<p>"Churning Water" by Kimberly Reed, who will be showing at Tempo Gallery.</p>

ASTORIA Tempo Gallery, formerly the Festival Artists Cooperative Gallery, will feature artist Kimberly Reed, at an artist reception during the Astoria Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 13. Flautist Lauren Brady will play as well.

Reed says that her works are often noted for their texture and layer after layer of paint and vibrant color. Self expression through art is an integral part of who I am,” she says. “I am moved by that which surrounds me and it is reflected in my work. Fueled by a lifelong love of impressionism, my style is abstract yet recognizable. My paintings reflect a moment in time, calm amidst turbulence. My work is raw, edgy, restless, intense and always evolving.

Reed has lived in Astoria for three years, and her first solo show, “Visceral,” was held at KALA in February 2012.

Tempo Gallery, which shares space with the Astoria Music Festival, is located at 1271 Commercial St. in Astoria. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. (Astoria Music Festival office hours are noon to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.)
