New in the Gallery-July





 These whimsical clocks are the work of a talented local artist, Alice Hall.  They have fantastic "attitude" and are set off by their embellished copper pendulums.  I'm really enjoying the addition of these girls in the gallery.








Deborah Zwetsch is an award-winning working Florida artist who has a BA in Art Therapy, and a four-year certificate from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Deborah began painting on silk six years ago because of the luminous quality color takes upon the silk surface. Her work on silk reflects the innate color sense that she draws from nature. She has won numerous awards at crafts exhibits for her hand-painted one-of-a-kind scarves and clothing.  

We are so pleased to have a nice selection of Deborah's scarves.  Read local Arizona Republic article by Jaimee Rose on scarves on a 115 degree summer day in Arizona.  It sheds new light on purchasing this fashion accessory.




 Local artist Viola Burke creates these life-affirming shadow box collages.  Based on past scriptural studies, she borrows words from the scriptures, then adds many more of her own to complete the main text of each work, "I am . . . .".  Not discernible in these photos is the dimensionality of each collage and the beadwork, which she calls the "icing on the cake."
