introducing . . .

Two new artists have just arrived . . .their artwork that is.  After talking to CJ Metzger for some time we are excited to finally have some of her wonderful small mounted prints on hand, with some small originals on the way.  We also have the natural beauty of Hadley Hutton’s original encaustics and prints.

introducing . . .

We are excited to add the works of Dolan Geiman to the gallery.  Dolan is a nationally recognized mixed media artist, creating original  paintings, collages, constructions and limited edition reproductions. His artwork has broad appeal, successfully weaving together the rural with the urban and the modern and the vintage.  Reoccurring motifs include rural America, woodland creatures (specifically birds), and country music.

Sing-a-long: Bluebird & Guitar mini box prints.

working overtime . . .

Duy has spent the last couple of months preparing for back to back shows in Nashville, TN.  So if you live in the area you will have two opportunities to view some of his newest works.

This weekend he has paintings at the Temple Arts Festival (see ’schedule of events’ – open to the public on Sunday, April 26th).  On Saturday, May 2nd there will be an exhibit opening at Art & Invention Gallery.   The owners of A&I have been quite busy and currently have Duy’s fall show still up on thier website – but it should be updated over the next week, once they get the new work in their hands.  You will find the painting shown here at A&I.

spring ahead . . .

Spring is upon us and I am not sure how I missed its arrival!  I have been buried in new technology . . . things that should simplify life a bit while at the same time adding more ‘to do’ to my list.  So if you are a technical person we now have several more ways for you to keep up with what is going on around here . . . a blog and website just aren’t enough!   A while ago I personally ventured into the world of Facebook and then created a gallery page , check it out and become a ‘fan’.  Next on my list was stepping into Flickr territory – something I had given the most resistance but now find to be my favorite and most helpful tool.  You can see the Lark & Key photostream here.  If that doesn’t satiate your Lark & Key fix you can now follow us as well.  I am admittedly bad at twittering on a regular basis, but  will certainly post the important things!

Pottery by Julie Wiggins is fresh from the kiln and Fray has sent a new batch of scarves to help keep you warm.  If you happen to be looking for the perfect accessory you might find it among the new jewelry offerings from Smallthings, Amy Bengtson and Liz Mathews.
