New art show mixes media
Our next art exhibit will open Thursday, Oct. 16 and will showcase the many new and exciting works from potter Elspeth Watson and watercolours by painter Norm Nicholson.
Watson has put a Japanese spin on this exhibit; pottery is not just utilitarian, but beautiful and graceful. Nicholson’s watercolours are soothing to the eye, with his beautiful blending of light and colour.
This is Watson’s first exhibit in more than 30 years, so mark your calendars. This exhibit will run until Nov. 15.
Join us in the gallery for refreshments and an artist meet and greet on Saturday, Oct. 18 from 1-3 p.m.
