ART on FIRST

Celebrating the success of our artists elsewhere:
This is so exciting. Zebith Thalden, will be in Ashland in July (Yay). This event on "Creating Eco-Art" looks to be really fun.
You can also come see her work here at the gallery. Some of my favorite pieces are these series of a very, very up-close look at beetles. Yes, makes me think of Georgia O'Keefe, but of insects instead of flowers.
Zeith will also come and spend a day at the gallery, just visiting and being available to speak in-depth about her work. Stay posted on the exact date.

Someone asked me today what my favorite piece of art is in the gallery and why. I have many, but one of my top picks must be this piece from Erin Linton. It is one of the most complete and balanced pieces: it has cool tones and warm tones; it’s colorful yet almost monochrome; it has the earthy gnarl of the branch as a base to the elegance and grace of the white egret; it has a great presence without being too big in any room.
Come in and fall in love with it in person.

We are so happy to have the most wonderful intern in the world!!!
It’s amazing what a second set of hands and eyes can do to keep me focused and productive. Here is a weeks worth of work cleaning jewelry and re-displaying, in one day! Yay for Flannery!
