Photography and painting share the same visual language — balance, light, and emotion. In this guide, explore seven timeless rules of composition that make both photos and paintings come alive. Plus, learn how to take better reference photos for your own art, wherever inspiration strikes.

Thank you to everyone who supported our very first Gallery Open House! 🎉 While turnout was smaller than hoped, it was a meaningful start filled with encouragement, lessons, and inspiration. From hanging paintings in different spaces to discovering how lighting changes the mood of a piece, to keeping food simple and easy — we learned so much. These insights will help make the next event even better, and yes, another Open House is coming soon!
