We had a VERY successful opening week at the Seaside Studio! Thank you so much to all that supported, by visiting, liking, sharing, commenting etc. The feedback was amazing. We had a number of artistic and musical guests which added so much vibrancy to our waterfront here in Port Hawkesbury. For the month of June, the hours will be Tues-Fri 9am-1pm and Saturday 1pm-9pm, or by chance...or by appointment. I hope to continue to have guest artists and musicians throughout the summer. Hope to see you soon!

Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted a blog. Behind the scenes, I have been working on a new venture. This summer will see my little studio/gallery in a new location. I'll post more details as they become available. I loved my little space in Mulgrave and I will miss it dearly (especially the girls at The Porch), however the new space will offer some benefits that were not available at my cute little location last summer. Stay tuned!

If you are looking for a less expensive option than an original painting, most are available in print, in almost any size. Let me know what you're interested in, and I can get you a quote. They can also be printed on different substrates such as canvas, and high quality art paper, both matte and gloss. Hope you're all having a great summer!

Well the opening night of the gallery showing was a phenomenal success! I want to thank each and every person that came out on that cold December night and to all who helped me put it together! My works will be in the gallery until Mid-January, so if you missed the opening, you can still see the works in the gallery until then. Don't forget to sign the guestbook!

I have created a lovely little seating area for those who would like to sit for a moment, or just need a little place to relax ☺️ J. Franklin Wright Gallery, Port Hawkesbury, NS

Well the time is almost here! This weekend will be all about the setup of the exhibition. Paintings are all packed, labels are printed, last minute prep is happening and then the hanging begins. There are approximately 40 paintings to be hung and I'll be working to make sure everything is set up just right!
I sure hope you can make it. It should be a really FUN TUESDAY night in Port Hawkesbury.
A huge thank you to everyone who has helped me get this all ready!

Hi there! I have a cool new feature on my website called "AR Live Preview". This allows you to view my paintings on the walls in YOUR own home! You will have to allow permissions to your camera and motion sensors. You can also view in various "stock" rooms.
**Please note however the Augmented Reality function only works with some phone operating system versions. I have tested with version 16.6 1 of IOS without success and with the latest version of 17.0.3 and it works! I will be continuing to test with Android versions. Stay tuned. Below is a sample of AR from my phone. The painting is not actually hung on my wall. Pretty cool huh!

I'm so excited to announce that I will be having my very own solo show at the J. Franklin Wright Gallery in Dec 2023-Jan 2024. The exact dates will be posted as soon as I have them. I hope you can all join me for the gallery opening and/or take some time to visit the gallery at any time during my solo show.
I look forward to seeing you all!
Dana
