Textiles and Paintings by artist JANNA KROUPKO

TAPESTRY

July 7 - 30, 2016

Bold and colourful, Janna Kroupko's hand-woven textiles and paintings are imbued with the artist's vibrant energy. She brings her forms to life with her intuitive sense of space, colour and design. Like her 2015 exhibition at URBAN GALLERY "Dreamscapes", these works show her immense talent and passion for art in nature -and the world around us.
