Making a Splash!
A warm thank you to everyone who came to Hampton Gallery’s first themed show and wine tasting-featuring wines from Privato Winery! It was a grand success-and a lot of fun!
A big thank you also to John and Debbie Woodward, owners of Privato Winery, for partnering with Hampton Gallery to create a truly spectacular evening. The tasting was of their Pinto Noir and Chardonay, both thoroughly delightful and memorable wines.

Introducing Erica Neumann
Welcome, Erica Neuman, to Hampton Gallery’s family of artists! We couldn’t be happier to have this fine artist on board. Established as a painter since 1983, Erica is best known for her animal portraiture, especially that of bears. Erica has an uncanny gift for painting the eyes of her beautiful animals in such a way they actually come to life. Their expressions really draw you in, showing you sensitive creatures, whether joyfully at play or peering out from a downpour.

Congratulations, Min Ma, on being an Artist to Collect in the Summer Issue of Arabella magazine! It’s a wonderful article, chock-full of Min’s bright, bold, and cheerful work. Whether his paintings are of urban street scenes of coastal marinas, their superb crafting and joyful execution really do capture the spirit and imagination. Drop in to the gallery to pick your copy of Arabella up today!

Introducing Arnold Mosley
Hampton Gallery is thrilled to announce that Arnold Mosley, an exciting and extremely gifted artist specializing in western themed art, has joined our family of artists. His work is simply astonishing in its vividness and realness-anyone familiar with the ranching that life so much a part of the Kamloops area will be immediately taken by the honest beauty in his paintings. Furthermore, it’s beauty with a touch of grit, of sweat and dust, of long days and hard work in the fullness of weather. You can’t help but do more than just look at these paintings-you find yourself in them, living them the way Arnold has.

Images from the opening if Light & Joy, featuring Gaye Adams and Linny D. Vine. Lots of wonderful people came in to look at the beautiful work, chat with the artists, have a bit of a snack from a great selection of appies. A truly enjoyable day was had by all! If you missed the opening, not to worry, the show runs until the end of the month.

Congratulations to Allan Dunfield and Barry Rafuse for earning their SFCA! The SFCA designation is the Federation of Canadian Artists’ highest designation-Senior Signature Status. Much coveted, it is only given to those artists who have consistently demonstrated the highest standards of excellence in their body of work. Hampton Gallery could not be more proud of these two fine artists. Well done Allan and Barry!

We’re thrilled to announce that Hampton Gallery’s very own Cameron Bird is featured as an ‘Artist to Collect’ in the Winter 2013 issue of Arabella Magazine.

Introducing Linny D. Vine!
Hampton Gallery is excited to bring you Linny D. Vine, whose paintings are every bit as bright and compelling as her personality. Each painting is not simply a beautiful object, it’s also a direct and personal connection between artist and collector. Working in oils and acrylics, Linny’s paintings are immediately recognizable for their rhythms and lyrical movement, as well as for their gorgeously sunny colour harmonies. This artist does not just offer a series of paintings when she can offer the collector an entire world (which she’s engagingly named Linnyland). And what world it is-recalling bright, carefree days strolling pier or blossomed street, resting by cool lake shores or at the edge of a grand row of firs. Indeed a magical world in full dance and colour, one we’re sure you’ll not want to leave!

WHERE: Debbie’s Home
TIME: 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Either oil or acrylic paint is fine. I’ll be using oil.
Tea/Coffee provided.
Supplies:
Paint and supplies for either medium (large tube of Titanium White).
Easel, several photos.
***Most importantly a few larger good quality hog bristle brushes: #4, 6,8 round and 4,8 flat. At Trends Art Store they have H.J Series 10-B Hog Bristle Brushes that are the best.

Hampton Gallery is thrilled to present Jeffrey Boron!
Jeffrey is a B.C. artist based in Victoria, well known the country over for his sumptuous landscapes in oils and acrylics. His style is captivatingly impressionistic, filled with light and a clearly evident exuberance. As Jeffrey says:
“As an artist I want my paintings to bring to the viewer a sense of the
joy I feel when painting them, as well as highlighting the wonder and
beauty of those small areas of nature where we live
but so often overlook in our busy lives.”
Indeed, each of Jeffrey’s gems may easily be viewed as an oasis and getaway, a chance to relax and reconnect with this land that gives us all so much.

The medal was created to mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s ascension to the throne by honouring a special group of Canadians of significant and enduring service to Canadian society.
Well done and well-earned Serge, Canada is all the richer for your art!

Hampton Gallery is thrilled to represent new clay artist Linda Willard!
An artist increasingly gaining recognition for the innovation and beauty in her work, Linda joins us with a selection of stunning pieces from her current Strength of Shadows series. The pieces, meant to hang on the wall, are unique in creating a connection between traditional visual art and sculpture. They are remarkable for their elegant, organic qualities, compelling for the exquisite patterning introduced in firing. We invite you to visit and have a look!

Hampton’s been renovating!
Never one to shy away from adding-or taking down-a wall or two, Diane went off in search of inner bigness for the gallery.
