ABSTRACTIONS Tia Walters & Valerie Nichol May 2 to June 25 Opening reception Sat. May 7 from 2 to 4pm “Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors and textures.” Remaining true to this statement, our inspiration is derived from nature, feelings, places, people, life interpreted – often subtle and other times dramatic. Our hope is to project our language in a way that communicates to the viewer. Let your imagination run wild! Meaford Hall Gift Shop Open 7 days a week.
