Imagine That! gallery in downtown Duncan has two new window displays up that will run through April 26.
The first features the work of Jake Humphrey of Pacifica Woodwork and Design.
“Jake Humphrey’s motto is ‘designed by nature, crafted by hand.’ He creates one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, charcuterie boards, and kitchen accessories from locally sourced wood, using the natural racks and fissures that form as wood dries, and the natural colours of each wood to enhance the designs,” said Katie Daniel of Imagine That! in a press release.
The second window will feature the paintings of Catherine Fraser.
“Catherine Fraser is an accomplished multi-media artist, art therapist, and public speaker,” said Daniel. “She works in oils, acrylic, watercolour, graphite, and pastels, and is constantly exploring and experimenting with new artistic responses to the world around her.”
