Original Work – a lasting memory

There’s something special about original artwork, knowing that it has been created NOT by a machine or a camera or on a computer. That it’s a painting inspired by the artist’s experience, reaction and creativity.

A painting is a preserved moment in time, a reflection of a place or object that resonates as a reminder to us of the things we may also have known, seen and recall or imagine.

Simply hanging on a wall original paintings are a daily celebration.
