Reception for Dana Thompson

Prudential Carruthers' office in Hamilton

The public is invited to a wine and cheese reception to meet the artist and view works at Prudential Carruthers' office (4 E Colonial Hwy) in Hamilton.
Dana likes to represent organic and inorganic objects next to one another in dramatic compositions. "Vintage next to vegetation" Things that have relationships, in ways most don't think of, with a little twist. She shoots for compositions that are larger than life, tightly cropped or taken to the edge. Dana's ultimate goal is for the viewer to say "whoa!" To preview some of her works and learn more about the artist visit www.DanaThompsonDesigns.com
Please come meet Dana, view, and support her work! For more information call 540-338-4171 or email Hamilton@PrudentialCarruthers.com
