At The Barrie Area Galleries Sue A. Miller exhibiting at Ridge
West Gallery, Guthrie Ontario.
April 9th - July 3rd, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday April 9, 6pm - 9pm
Local artist Sue A. Miller will be exhibiting in a spring group art exhibit
at the Ridge West Gallery in Guthrie, north of Barrie.
Her work is a chronicle of the communities to which she is connected,
seen through the filter of her personal spiritual journey. Sue’s work
is chosen by clients not on the basis of how much they may like the scene
depicted, but because the piece resonates with an interior longing. Miller's
work has been sold throughout Canada. www.ridgewest.ca Web Site URL: www.maclarenart.com
