Everything In Between
By Tracy Armstrong at Santini Gallery

I’ve been drawn to islands for as long as I can remember. The appeal of exploring one coast, dipping my toes in the water then popping over to the other side of the island for a brand new experience keeps me coming back. Anything seems possible with a little sparkling magic around each corner.

Each island has its own unique natural landscape, beautifully surrounded by water which can feel both isolating and inviting. Yet they all evoke the same feeling of freedom in me. From my very first visit to PEI as a child, or Newfoundland as a teenager, the Greek Islands on my honeymoon or Wards Island on my first artist residency, islands have always captured my heart.

These island memories can be brought back to the overarching sense of freedom I feel. Everything in Between explores moments of life’s true magic, big and small, vast and exciting, quiet and ordinary. Many of these magical moments have happened while traveling, where I’ve experienced life through new eyes, in different landscapes and exploring islands. This collection of work explores the vast beauty of the world which I paint with joyful freedom.

On display April 15th through May 4th. Meet the Artist & Paint Demo Saturday, April 26th 2-4pm.
