This Weeks Window - Danielle O'Connor Akiyama

This week sees the work of Canadian artist Danielle O'Connor Akiyama blooming in our window!

Danielle's exquiste floral images vibrate with life, energy and riotous colour. Her deceptively loose, impressionistic style disguises the intricacy of her brushwork and the stylish formality of each composition.

This world-renowned artist has exhibited to great acclaim for over 30 years, and her distinctive fusion of eastern and western artistry has led to her works being highly prized by collectors from both sides of the Pacific.

Peter has been a part of the art world since leaving school in the 1960s and has been a member of the institute for many years.

Offering this contribution to ongoing success of the society is a great honour and i feel both excited and hugely honoured."
