Local land and seascapes come to life on the walls at the Rollin Art Centre with Elissa Anthony’s present exhibit, which runs until Sept. 14.
Anthony’s showcase of local land and seascapes will inspire the senses with her unique styles in both oil and acrylics. She swings from realism thru expressionism, abstract, mixed media and back.
