Two Friends, Two Styles" highlights the works of Gwen Murphy and
Joyce Trygg. These two long-time friends will show
visitors how artists can look at the same subject matter
and see them in different lights. Both Gwen and
Joyce are avid nature lovers, and this is reflected in
their choice of subject matter. Gwen's work is more raw
and primitive while Joyce focusses on the details in a
scene. Both styles show us the beauty of nature and the
power of those moments captured in paint.
