Arlene Collins - The ArtistJune 3, 2009 - Be sure to check out the New Released Prints section - 22 NEW paintings have been added!Growing up in the country, Arlene's love for art began at a young age, sketching wildlife scenes and admiring the beauty of landscapes. She was born near Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, and began painting in the early 90's, first experimenting with acrylics, but preferring oils because of better control and a truer color.
Founded in 1886, this is the gallery's 131st year. We offer a wide range of paintings, graphics and sculptures by a variety of talented local Canadian and international artists. The gallery also carries a good selection of antique maps, charts, and historical prints of Canada, in addition to Inuit and Aboriginal graphics and sculptures.
