For the Art Walk, the gallery will feature a collection of charming Chinese art from the Jinshan province. Jinshan in China is known as the “county of peasant paintings”.  There are more than 300 painters here, ranging in age from 80 to 10.  The paintings they create are unique and attractive, colorful and wonderfully evocative of life in the villages of China.  Because the painters here have never had any systematic training and have never been taught perspective, they find it difficult to achieve a three dimensional effect.

World Tree Gallery’s mission is to bring connections through the world via cultural arts, fine crafts and books. The gallery features world cultural art from around the world, antiques and painted furniture.
