Gallery News Update

Tay River Gallery is pleased to introduce oil paintings by Debbie Milling this month. Debbie’s interpretation of the Canadian landscape focuses on views of remote Canadian landscapes captured in travel to Canada’s diverse regions. Her preferred mode of travel is by horseback or by boat; as well inspiration comes from her studio which overlooks the Rideau River near Ottawa. Milling expresses the spirit of the outdoor experience with rich vibrant landscapes showing the connectedness between each aspect of the view from the trees, water, earth to the clouds above in a bold palette of colour. Milling has participated in several group and solo shows in Ontario and her works have been gaining recognition and reside in public and private collections across Canada.
