Gold Dust by Tom Gilligan

Curt Firestone, Tom Gilligan, and Margaret Ann Argiro team up to premier high quality photo art inspired by places and people from Mexico to India, from the Gulf Islands to the Pacific Ocean. The two lads (Curt and Tom) rely heavily on composition and texture in their colorful, artistic expressions of abstracts and landscapes, as well as emotions to bring meaningful definition to faces and spaces. The lady (Margaret Ann) evokes a sense of atmosphere and empathy by capturing simple, unassuming portraits, juxtaposed with visually tactile presentations of Vedic Temple Yoginis.

Curt and Margaret Ann are avid travelers, yet reside on Salt Spring Island. Tom, formerly of Salt Spring, brings his work from Gabriola. All three artists have received prior acclamation for their artistic photographs in the Driftwood and have participated in exhibitions on Salt Spring, Gabriola as well as in Nanaimo, Victoria, Puerto Vallarta, San Sebastian and Sidney.

Exhibit open June 24, 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.; June 25 – 30, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Special reception with coffee and pastries on Sunday, June 28, 10:00 a.m.
