Presently showing

"Sit Down" an exhibit of portrait photography by Jack McConnell

Artist Statement by Jack McConnell ,
www.mcconnellpix.com
Thirty-five years of looking, listening, absorbing, shooting—
one thing at a time. Of quieting down, being still, finding one
detail, one design, one face among many. In the course of all
this shooting, frames of film gravitate toward other frames
of film. Compositions share a spark of familiarity, and
themes begin to emerge.

Also showing are the oil paintings of Scottish artist, Lesley Banks
http://www.artscottishconnection.com/Artist6.htm

Lesley Banks is a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, and has
traveled extensively throughout Europe and Amsterdam poignantly capturing her environment in architectural symphony. Not only has she contributed to Scottish culture through her pristine figurative reflections and landscapes, but also through her depiction of down home themes.

Lesley's works are widely acquired for private collections in Italy,
Australia, Belgium, Canada, USA, and throughout Britain.
