NEW WORKS - Paintings & Sculpture by Natasha Gusta
Opening Reception: Nov. 15, 7:00 pm until 10:00 pm

Exhibit Runs November 15 to 28
Gusta's paintings and sculpture explore the dichotomy of our need to connect and our need for autonomy by exploring the relationships between form and colour, artist and canvas.

To desire a condition of aloneness is to wage a dualistic war with oneself. 
Relationships are never-ending stories of imperfect sorties...

Dream Sifter, A Platform for Healing is an exhibition by Wolseley's John R. Izzard reflection of life experiences and influences.
