Marsha is new to us and we're very excited about her cute little critter paintings!

Marsha brought with her 8 adorable paintings titled "The Wildlife Gaze Collection" and they were a resounding hit!

Arielle sure generated a lot of buzz - well deserved as she was just the neatest gal!

Arielle was rescued about 11 years ago after having been hit by a car resulting in the partial loss of one of her wings. Arielle is now a permanent resident of Hope For Wildlife and she gets to spend her time in their the fabulous care and travel around with volunteers as an educational animal. 

Fun for all ages!

Thank you to both Marsha and Hope For Wildlife for joining us on this adorable animal-filled day! 

This coming Saturday we plan to keep the fabulous fun going by partnering with The Neighbourhood Witch to offer LIVE TAROT reading at the gallery, featuring Kerry Hodgson's Halifax inspired Tarot Deck TAROFAX

As well as a showcase featuring seven incredible oil paintings from new-to-us artist Diane Morgan!
