In the Gallery

We are always updating the gallery, as we strive to keep our displays fresh and exciting. This week a new alcove display is being featured.

The refined detail of Dongmin Lai's "Qing Dynasty Princess" is elegantly nestled in a corner with the bold strokes and hearty Canadian landscpape, "Salty Shorelines", by Phil Buytendorp.

Dongmin Lai not only paints chinese portraits but he also paints the old buildings bordering the canals in Suzhou, China (as seen below the portrait).

In addition to paintings, we always showcase a sculpture or ceramic piece within our displays.

Michael Hermesh's sculpture "The Philosopher", adds 3-D relief to this setting. Hermesh's work is often of a quirky nature, especially in the characters he chooses to depict.
