I R L

new painting by Trish Stewart

A stunning exhibition where Trish Stewart explores the natural world vs. how the world is shown through technology. "On the screen, the wild landscape is dramatic and incredibly intense. Ocean waves more powerful, insects are more colourful, and the changing of the seasons is faster and more extreme." - Stewart

Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, March 13 , 4-6pm and an artist talk Friday, March 14 at 12-1pm. 🖼️
