34 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday February 15, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Fashion Cmbined with the Best Vision You Can Get! Visit Winhenstock Gallery in Downtown Oakville Well Win, how's the gallery doing? Since closing my gallery after five great years in sunny Laguna Beach California and returning to Oakville, we had great faith that another downtown gallery would be welcomed. So when we found this marvelous space, we jumped right in! After considerable renovations and opening up the "Upper Gallery" we have close to 4100 sq. ft. As with all new businesses ESPECIALLY art galleries, it takes quite some time before people know who you are, what you're about and what you have to offer. I must say, we are pleasantly surprised the Gallery has taken off as quickly as it has! We are more than pleased with results so far. Our success has been the quality of exceptional work by the well known, established artists we represent, our dedication and diligence to our artists, plane hard work, long hours, also the welcoming, supportive people of Oakville, Mississauga and Burlington. We've started to draw from the Toronto area as well. So we're very happy! My Director, Andrea Thompson is our greatest asset! Most of our clients are residential but in the past few months, we have done a number of installations for corporate clients. We also work closely with Interior Designers and Decorators, which is always great fun. As for my art; I paint almost everyday, and as my work is represented in other galleries as well, I'm kept quite busy. I also teach art lessons in the Upper Gallery onWednesdays. New classes will be starting March 26th. for five weeks, should anyone wish to join us. We're coming into our busy time of year , getting ready for our upcoming Spring exhibitions in April and May.We invite you to drop by the gallery or visit our website www.winhenstockgallery.com gift giving with heart TM 75% off 174 Lakeshore Rd.
