Scottish
Artist, Dronma shows her new range of work, 'Moments of Change'
from 21st April 2007 onwards.
Dronma, a Tibetan Buddhist since the 70's, is primarily
a landscape artist, but also illustrates books, including
those by Gordon Smith, Glasgow's Psychic Barber. She
also completed a mural last year at Kew Gardens.
Her latest exhibition at Christo's will show a range
of over 29 vibrant landscapes. Her bold style has gained
her a reputation amongst dicerning buyers of contemporary
Scottish art as a modern colourist. Gallery owner, Louise
Burns said "I have regular buyers at the gallery who
are really excited about viewing Dronma's latest work.
The paintings can be quite wild and expressive but also
gleam with an inner light. They can quite literally transform
a room". |
