Donated by Diehl Gallery this original Jeremy Houghton needs to be hanging on your wall.
‘The Night Shift’ is oil on canvas and 26 x 26 inches.
“Artist in Residence Jeremy Houghton uses the idea of ‘telling the unseen story’ to inform his considered approach to a number of high-profile commissions, which shift between the exceptional and the everyday, painting subjects ranging from Her Majesty, The Queen, to the excitement of high-end elite sport. The subjects that characterise these scenes are illuminated by his focus on the spaces in which bodies linger, shimmer, move and often take flight.
Over the last twenty years he has been invited to detail the life of a series of high-profile communities, from those at Windsor Castle and Highgrove to 2017’s Wimbledon championships, and the competitors at the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. With each of these projects Houghton is interested in getting beyond public perception, documenting instead the everyday scenes that characterize events and places.”

September Vhay and Altamira Gallery have generously donated an original piece, painted especially for the New Leash On Life. This one of a kind painting is part of September’s famous Red Horse series, and has been showcased in the month leading up to the event at the Animal Adoption Center. September is a huge supporter of the Animal Adoption Center and has adopted her beloved dogs from us. Uma, a wiggly mini dachshund and her creative director, approved the surprise piece!
A little bit about September Vhay:
September Vhay was born in Reno, Nevada. A largely self-taught artist, her formal training is in architecture. She received her bachelor of architecture degree from the University of Oregon in 1993. Vhay’s initial painting education, via architecture school, was in watercolor and she now paints in both watercolor and oil. Because of her skill with watercolor, she seamlessly achieves the freshness of watercolor with the saturation of color only possible in oils.
