Banana Hill Gallery
Trails Of Africa dawn by Rahab Shine

We are delighted to present a new solo exhibition by Rahab Shine. Her journey as an artist began in 1990 after meeting Shine Tani. The two later founded Banana Hill Art Gallery, a place that has welcomed artists and art lovers for many years. Rahab works with a clear sense of observation. She paints landscapes as they appear today, holding on to scenes that are slowly shifting with constant development. Her pieces carry a quiet sense of care for places that deserve to be remembered. You are invited to visit the gallery and spend time with her work. The show will run throughout December and into the new year.
