Artist/Exhibition Date

 

March 21- March 25

Gina Rosen and Bob Whilte

Gina’s love of jewellery led her to create one-of-a-kind, individually designed necklaces.  Her designs are created as pieces she herself would wear, and are as individual as those who wear them.  They are hand-made from semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystal, gold and silver.                                                                

Bob has been described as a free flowing abstract artist with the innate ability to touch people with his poetic style.  Each of his works is unique which makes each painting appealing to a throng of people.  Bob feels like each canvas is a playground of colour, shape and form. www.artbybob.caExternal Link
