Island Park Art Gallery is a two-dimensional exhibition space with new artists rotating every two months. The gallery is located inside Willamalane Adult Activity Center. We welcome local artists of various styles, mediums, and experiences to participate in our gallery exhibits.
Currently Showing: T. Barton Leslie
T. Barton Leslie grew up in the seaside town of Eureka, and his parents both grew up in Lubec, a small fishing village on the coast of Maine. His grandfather was a Nova Scotian sea-captain. It is no wonder, then that his heart is drawn to the sea. It is evidenced in the maritime art that consumes so much of his artistic efforts. The turn of the Eighteenth-Century harbors and working fishing boats under sail, are typical of his interest.
The rest of his paintings are classical portraits, usually in Rembrandt style lighting. Whether with wings, wielding a sword, or simply holding a basket, the subject is most often his wife.
Exhibit dates: Oct. 1-Nov. 25
Gallery reception: Friday, Oct. 8, 5-7 p.m. Complimentary beer, wine, and light refreshments will be provided.
