something beautiful in our community

Traditional oil paint with modern temperament

A BALANCED WORLD: lisa sprietsma

FEATURED

Most impacted by the possible connections to nature and the earth, this artist aims to provoke the viewers to become storytellers and question what is happening within the body of work.

“When I paint, I’m making an internal dialogue about life, connecting objects to convey human emotions and the complexity of life - our uncertainties and vulnerability - on a personal and global scale.” -- Lisa Sprietsma

 

On Exhibit from January 9 - February 23, 2025.
