CANADA -- This week is the last week to catch the February art show at the Station House Gallery which features art by 26 young artists in both the main and upper galleries. Olivia Harrison, 14, a Grade 9 student at Maranatha Christian School, is featured in the main gallery. Olivia says her painting was inspired by a photograph of a little girl living in poverty that was taken by photographer Steve McCurry. The writing at the top of the painting shows that she can rise above her birth conditions with God’s help, Olivia says. Letters at top of the painting state: “Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.” Proverbs 30:5. A total of 59 pieces of art were submitted by 26 young artists throughout the community for the exhibition in the main gallery. [link]
