Art in Diversification – Exhibit by Diana Gritten
Gallery Vertigo 2901 - 30 Avenue, Vernon, British Columbia, CanadaGallery Vertigo is proud to host Diana Gritten in the Judith Jurica Gallery for the month of February. You won't want to miss this, so stop by between Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 4:00pm.
During this past year, we have all had to learn and adjust our lives in every possible way and continue to do so; to pivot, be brave, follow the protocols, stay home, and on and on. Diversify! As an artist, Diana’s creative world changed instantly and insurmountably with the pandemic. With disappointments came opportunities. Rather than letting herself dive into the depths of despair and end up at the bottom of a well of dirty paint water, she sat down with her journal. She wrote numerous pages of thoughts and feelings, trying to understand how to “get through” the darkness and back to the light.
“I offer this exhibit in great respect for art galleries, artists, art lovers, and everyone finding hope, peace, love and light through strength and creativity.” –Diana Gritten
