K.S. Wild
Mountains and Waters Walking on Canvas
This month's exhibition at K.S. Wild features landscape paintings by Dot Fisher-Smith. Pausing to become lost in the shapes and colors of nature budding around her, Dot is inspired by the innerscapes of the earth, water, and air. Allowing both surprise and spontaneity to take place, she believes that the most beautiful creations are formed as a result of allowing both to happen naturally.
Hours:
