“West Coast Composition as Expression” is the title of the Rollin Art Centre’s first art exhibit of 2014. Local landscape and seascape artist Sally Walker’s exhibit of acrylic painting runs until Feb. 6, 2014.
This exhibit is a wonderful display of locally inspired landscapes and seascapes. From sailboats to hydrangea’s and views from the West Coast this is a beautiful exhibit, and should not be missed.
