Serota Held Over

Pears! Pomegranates! Pescatores! People!
The Phyllis Serota show is extended through Sunday, April 9th.  
There are special prices for select customers.
It's a great time to get out and about, and Phyllis' works are just the thing to inspire that Springy feeling.

Serota Springtime

Here we go - a beautiful exhibition of Phyllis' work spanning many years, subjects and moods, from playful to deeeply contemplative. The pieces sparkle in the newly opened up gallery space.
There will be an Artist's Reception Thursday March 24 from 5-8 PM - do think about dropping by!

Phyllis Serota

After a visit to Phyllis' studio to look at current and past work, we're excited about the show we're putting together...we have some classic pieces from her still life, memory and dream inspired genres, and some fresh, luscious new pieces as well.
During the last year, Phyllis has been focusing on writing her memoirs, slated to be published in the fall by Sono Nis Press. She has, however, been recently working on a series of new paintings, as always taking a fresh creative tack.
This year she was featured at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, but did not hold her usual at home exhibition in February. We'll have a selection of paintings and monotypes avialable in a range of sizes and subjects.
March 22nd!

goodbye, hello...

Our all purpose wonder woman Kimberly Bryant has shipped/slipped off to the Orient, if you check her Facebook page you'll see Bangkok's her hometown now.
Hey, maybe someday we'll get a Facebook page...meanwhile, we've made some other changes, whitening and brightening like a really effective dentifrice; there's more space and more light in the Gallery. Just in time for a show of classic work from Phyllis Serota...see our web page for info on that and some more upcoming events.
And say hello to Terry Rodgers, who'll be keeping the gallery warm and welcoming with her presence for the next while.

Shown here is a fabulous work by Victoria artist Sophia Morrison.

Sophia uses images from photographs as inspiration for her paintings. She interprets the imagery in an abstract way on canvas by using geometric shapes and bright colours.
