You’re Invited!
Join us for Uptown Sparkles and visit the exhibition
Harbour Lights & Snow Whispers
featuring new artwork by Fabiola Martinez.
Come meet the artist, enjoy refreshments, and take in the beautiful port view from the Industrial Parks Collective art space.
About the Exhibition:
This is a collection of paintings inspired by the quiet beauty of winter light and the soft reflections that shape our city by the sea.
In “Harbour Lights and Snow Whispers” I explore how light connects us: the shimmer of the harbour at night, the gentle whisper of snow beneath a streetlamp, and the fleeting sparkles that remind us of warmth, memory, and belonging.
Each piece is an intimate moment, a reflection, a breath, a sparkle, inviting us to pause and notice the magic in everyday light.
-Fabiola Martinez
