The Silver Coast Winery has announced an exhibition of works by Harald Josef Graffinger, which will run from Jan. 15 to March 15. The public is invited to view and purchase pieces by this prolific artist.

Born in Austria in the 40s, his life as an artist began as a teenager. Graffinger’s art is heavily influenced by his travels. Having lived in Germany, Switzerland, France and London before immigrating to the United States, Harald’s paintings are an abstract celebration of life done with a kaleidoscope of colors and rich textures.

Silver Coast Winery is a full winemaking facility housing an eclectic art gallery, unique gift shops, with beautiful picnic grounds. Private parties as well as corporate parties and weddings are welcome.  Tours and wine tastings are available Jan. and Feb., Wednesday through Sunday, 12 noon to 5 p.m.; Fridays until 6 p.m. For more information visit www.silvercoastwinery.com or call 910-287-2800.
