FOR SALE – Art Exhibition by Dianne Clinton

Dianne Clinton has been spending a lot of time with the local business community over the past months, and her art has been heavily influenced by the drive and determination of Windsor’s business owners.  Using older works, found objects and memories as inspiration and growth, Dianne’s paintings correlate the dedication it takes to do what she loves with that same passion she has discovered in local business owners throughout the city.       

To celebrate graduating from school and her success as a local artist, my employee Dianne will be having art shows all summer long!   

The big finale is at Nancy Johns Gallery & Framing, with a closing reception on Friday, August 7^th from 7-11pm.  I know how excited she is for this, and I hope that you all can come!
