VinGallery is exhibiting A Week in Hoi An by Bridget March until Saturday.
The offering is an artist’s guide to the beautiful World Heritage town with an exhibition of original watercolor paintings from her first book also titled A Week in Hoi An.
She also gives a preview of her new collection of acrylic paintings.
March is from northern England. She studied Art and Design in Harrogate and Leeds and for 18 years was a successful furniture designer, only drawing and painting in her free time. Her paintings, etchings and drawings started to be exhibited widely in the U.K. and she won some commissions for private collections.
She was working all day at the art college and working nights and weekends to sell at exhibitions and markets. In 2011, an unexpected invitation from a friend persuaded March to give up her job to come to Vietnam where she felt she would have the right conditions to concentrate on drawing and painting.
Since arriving in Saigon exactly a year ago, March has produced nearly 200 pieces large and small which were published in her first book. She has also worked on a collection of watercolor and acrylic paintings of Saigon and the pace of change in the city.
VinGallery is located at 4 Le Van Mien St., District 2.
