What’s Up At the Gallery:
Works by artists Natasha Diniz, Liz Huggins and Lynda Alber are on.

Natasha’s energy and enthusiasm about art has set a foundation among her peers. She was instrumental in initiating murals within the walls of her former high school.
- Liz Huggins is continuing the tradition of art within her family from Trinidad. She is in natural state sketching and colouring portraits of turtles, dogs and fishes. An important contribution to humanity.
