We hope you are staying safe and making the best of this strange time.

The gallery doors may be closed but our artists are hard at work at home.  See what they've been up to below.

We're still checking email regularly and arranging sales with free safe delivery to your door in the metro area. For arrangements out of town or province, we're happy to work with you on details!
 
Iakov Afanassiev has been working on portraits of both people and pets. Commissioning a portrait from Iakov
can be as easy as taking a few reference photos
and sending them along to him.

"I am spending my time doing substantive editing to reshape my direction on a couple of projects.
One project I am working on is: Time Still (working title).  It's about  some place that may trigger bursts of memory that stays with us. It can be  the place we were born in, a place we frequent, a place we visit only once in our lifetime. I hope to describe  the subject in each image being at an intersection in space and time. The images, taken all in Newfoundland, with locales chosen for both personal and historic significance."
