The Duthie Gallery is pleased and proud to represent Canadian architect, designer and studio furniture artist Sabina Hill.
Sabina creates fine art, limited edition furniture and custom installations which merge the rich mythology of North West Coast aboriginal culture with a contemporary design aesthetic. She skillfully integrates Native motifs into her work creating a unique, contemporary expression that evokes the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest and celebrates the convergence of two distinct design cultures.
On exhibit in the gallery now:
