Twede’s Cafe A North Bend staple since 1941, sitting under the shadow of Mount Si at the heart of downtown. Once known as the Mar-T Cafe, its small-town charm and scenic backdrop made it the perfect setting for David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, where it became the iconic Double R Diner. Decades later, it remains a beloved gathering place for locals and fans alike. RIP David Lynch.

“Unsurprisingly in art from or about a politically volatile culture, the work is grounded in social ideas. Ameen Dhillon’s diaristic, accordion-fold book of prints is haunted by ghosts of a colonial past.”
“[Ameen Dhillon’s] The Mango Tree [shown at Diasporadics, an art festival held in New York City] generated a sense of locality that “expresses itself” in certain kinds of agency, sociality, and reproducibility ... for the young South Asians who gathered ... The Mango Tree was critical to producing a shared experience of sociality...”

Welcome all to my new art site. I’ve been having a blast doing a 100 day art challenge that has been cruising around instagram. I’ve been getting a lot of interest in my work so I decided to launch this site so you can keep track of what I’m up to and actually purchase work.
You can follow Ameen’s latest activities on Instagram at AmeenDhillonArt or just get a flavor for her posts below.
My first trip to Europe back in 1992! I fell in love with Italy and this Polka dot Vespa. I still remember taking this photo, having my friends strike a pose behind it , the streets of Florence behind them.
Travel has always been a source of inspiration for me. It may have started with a trip to New York when I was at Art School. I did a series of very large stone Lithographs and a series of very small engravings all New York facades. No people, just the marks we leave behind.
In the fall of 2020 I started painting small watercolor postcards based on my own photos from a family trip to Italy a couple years ago. After painting daily for almost 2 months i decided to start a #100dayartchallenge.
“While ... real estate magnates pursue their vision of a worldclass Vancouver, [Ameen Dhillon] is immortalizing some of the city’s neglected old buildings ... From photos and sketches, she produces striking lithographs.”
“Ameen’s work is frequently about exteriors ... predominantly black and white store fronts and buildings, beautiful, often historical and ornate, contorted, off kilter ... Grandiosity, whether declared by the looming lithographs or contained within miniatures. All of these impressively detailed prints have presence in their stoic absence of the human.”
