DWAC programmes and studio tours

Two Worlds One Sky International Artist Tina Horn “Two Worlds - One Sky” GALLERY OPENING SAT. JULY 24TH 1 PM — 5 PM on display until Sept. 5th Pickering - The Durham West Arts Centre is proud to present the new Art Show and Sale of Abstracts and Landscape paintings by international artist Tina Horn. Tina’s art showcases her explorations of both abstract and realistic landscapes in her deep personal style. Born in Wellington, New Zealand, she started drawing and painting at a young age. Her preferred medium is acrylic painting and she is experimenting with strong black outlines in her work, reflecting her interest in stencil work and street art. Her art is inspired by her own backyard [New Zealand] and some of her favorite music. The dark outlines give a more caricature-like feel to the work. Come meet the artist and watch Tina Work on her paintings throughout the length of the show. DWAC Executive Director Andrew Hamilton is pleased to welcome this up and coming artist to our gallery space in the Greenwood Library. “Tina’s work is very expressive, colorful and dramatic and I encourage the community to come by and be inspired,” Hamilton says. Location: Greenwood Public Library \| 3540 Westney Road North This is a free event suitable for the whole family. Please call event organizer, Andrew Hamilton at 647-351-2170 or the Durham West Arts Centre at 647-297-4278 for more information.
