The Goldmark Cultural Center’s Norman Brown Gallery is proud to present “Life Goes On”, an exhibition of new painting and drawing works by artist Jim Hastings.

The exhibition is on display from 14 April to 16 May, 2025. An artist talk and reception will take place on Saturday, 3 May, from 5pm - 7pm, at the Goldmark Cultural Center. The reception is an ideal opportunity to meet the artist and learn from him about his artwork and exhibition.

About the Exhibition
”My artwork is primarily figurative, with a focus on portraiture and family relationships. Human interactions, comedy, and honest depictions of life are what I’m constantly trying to find as I makes pictures. When people look at my drawings or paintings, I hope they see something familiar. There are so many aspects of our lives that are universal, and yet we often feel alone. I hope that people will see themselves laying on a couch or working in the yard or helping a child get ready for bed. Jim is married and the father of 5 children, who keep him very busy!”
