Alex’s exhibit, titled “Colours, Lines and Beauty” will be an welcome fixture to the windows and walls of the gallery for the full month of November. Alex Pfaff was born 1961 i

George Smith: Postcards From the Edge
In October we will be hosting George Smith; a life-long artist originally from Liverpool, England.

Justine MacDonald - Portraits of Jordan
In August, Round Hill Studio will be hosting an exhibit by travel photographer, and mixed media artist - Justine MacDonald. Justine believes that photography can act as a window on the past and present, offering up questions, if not answers, regarding a place and its people and history. In this exhibit Justine will be sharing her photographs from her travels to Jordan in hopes to show her audience a different side to the region and inspire us as it did her. You can learn more

"On a Sunny Day", Anna Rail

Here is something notable about Anna: she is the only artist in this part of the country who batiks exclusively on Japanese paper. “I use exclusively handmade Japanese paper for this labour intensive techn

Art + Love = Merge
Married in life with a shared passion of art, James and Jaime Lee Lightle have achieved one of the most challenging project of their artistic career - creating art together!
