The other night Tori and I visited the Little Art & Culture Gallery to view Ingrid Pintgen’s paintings. We have been to this gallery before to view Richard Bunchanan Dunlop’s work at the beginning of out internship. This gallery has been running for 2 years now. Last year they featured about 8 artists and this year they featured their first photographed exhibition, as well as two additional artists. I have personally spoken to Filareti, a volunteer at the gallery, to get this information. The building actually used to be her grandparents house and it was transformed into an art gallery. It was organized by the Independent Movement of Skiathos and the town does not provide any funds to maintain it. Filareti has to know all the information on the incoming artists and she also helps set up the gallery when a new artist is being featured.

The artist that Tori and I went to see was called Ingrid Pintgen. She was born in Holland and did some of her studies there. As Ingrid grew older she attended the European Art Academy and studied art, which led her to be an artist for more than 30 years. She has accomplished many things such as being a member of “Berufsverband Bildende Kuenstler,” which is a professional art organization and has done more than 30 art exhibitions.
Ingrid had visited Skopelos for many years and just recently decided to move there for good. Ingrid has put the island to good use by using the landscape for some of her inspiration. Take a look at some of her work…
