Bill Lunshof
Open: Thursday, February 1 – Tuesday, April 30, 2024
When making paintings of rural places, Newmarket-based artist Bill Lunshof draws inspiration from contemporary impressionists and the transformative effects of light. Using a loose and playful style, he creates scenes that favour the emotion of a place over photo realism.
Lunshof is a member of The Newmarket Group of Artists, and is part of the Executive for the Society of York Region Artists. He has shown at regional art shows including the Buckhorn Festival of the Arts, the Lawrence Park Art Show, King Studio Tour, and the Newmarket Art Walk.
The Town Office Gallery is programmed by Latcham Art Centre in collaboration with the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville.
