JILL LOUISE CAMPBELL ART GALLERY
Share the vision of Salt Spring Island artist Jill Louise Campbell.
Her watercolor paintings encompass the globe, exploring life on the west coast, capturing the festival spirit of Venice, the peace of the Italian countryside, the flowered beauty of Claude Monet's gardens in France, the sun-drenched Cote d'Azur and the dramatic deserts of the American Southwest.
Reproductions are now available as Giclée on Canvas.
The Salt Spring Gallery has been doubled in size and now has the room to display Jill's new large canvases and vast array of images. A new entrance has been opened across from the Tree House restaurant.
Our newest gallery in Victoria is now open and greeting art enthusiasts from around the world. The gallery is located at 636 Fort St., just a few stores up from Government St.
