KIMZEY + PREST
Saturday May 19th
5:00pm - 7:30pm
Thanks to all who joined us for the opening of Mel Prest's lux and Danielle Kimzey's Viewfinder last Saturday. We had a great turn out for the artist talks and heard insightful details on the thought processes and techniques that went into making these two strong bodies of work. The digital images of these works really don't do either show justice - the incredible details and color nuances are best seen in person! Contact us to request a list of available paintings.
If you missed the shows last weekend, the gallery will have extended hours this Saturday, May 19th, until 7:30pm. Join us then or during regular gallery hours while the exhibitions are up until June 16th.
