Today, I heard from friend and fellow artist Angie Reed Garner, who after much trial and tribulation is living and painting in Pakistan, where her husband is on a 2 year teaching adventure. Read all about her daily life and the excitment of living in Pakistan on her blog. I was very happy to let her know 2 of her very bold works have sold this month. www.angiereedgarner.livejournal.com

Thank you Roger Ross, my very faithful Monday artist volunteer for taking all the images of the Fimocreations to add to the website. You can also see some of Roger's work at

This month's Glass spotlight is on Tony Serviente. We've carried Tony's work almost since we opened. His artglass can be both functional and wonderful additions to most decors. We have more than 30 pieces in stock. Tony has been a featured artist on HGTV

This wonderful enamel pieces is the work of Jaime' Frechette. Her works appear in the Homearama Shows and well as several Commerical spaces. We are pleased to have Jaime' back with us. There are about a dozen wall pieces available here. Plus she is now making some really striking Jewelry.

It's no secret, I Love boxes and I Love color. these boxes are the creations of Leandra Drumm and Nancy Runyon Yost, with prices starting at $30.00

These sculptures from George Carruth are proving to be a definite winner for us and the folks who purchase them. Not only are they perfect gifts, they fit into all decors both indoor or outdoors.

George says, "If the artwork you surround yourself with doesn't make you smile.......

What's the point?"

Background Oil Painting by Dawna Boehmer, Pottery by many artists including Jean Ann Bolinger, Valerie McConnell, Follette Pottery, Brian Kunkleman, Fired Up Clayworks and Solid Cherry Utensils, Prices start at around $15. One of our most popular item is the dipping plate, followed closely by the chip and dip.

One of my new painting, in the Black Road Series, I call it that because I start with black, and see where it takes me

Yes, it has been along time between blogs, I suppose when I first signed up I had good intentions, or perhaps I just didn't understand the concept......Soo, ok, now I do, at least to some degree.
I'm just back from a buying trip to Philadelphia (Buyers Market of American Crafts) and Baltimore (American Crafts Council). Overwhelmed to say the least, so many wonderful creative souls among us. Needless to say, I placed lots of orders which will start to arrive between now and October. In most cases once I see it, I want it in the Gallery.....NOW!! I came in on Thursday just ahead of the latest snow and ice. Friday was busy, with a wonderful commerical job we did for Horan and Associates new office in Westchester. Thanks to Pat Brown Studios and Jim Brockman for their parts in the project. And a special thanks to Dave from Pendleton Square Framery for the excellent frame work and installation at their new offices. It was a pleasure to work with Karen Mueller from Horan.
Donna is on a well deserved vacation (the first in 6 years) so I am manning (womaning) the gallery for the next 8 days. Come see me.
