New in the Gallery-August

These hand-painted tiles mounted on blocks of exotic wood are the work of local artist, Sandy Browne.  In her artist statement, Sandy says, "I have collected 'words' for years.  Words that I like the sound of, that are fun to say.  I love the human body and thus decided to paint my 'words' in women.  Of course, I have only chosen the words that have pleasant meanings."

"Lavation" (5.75 x 2 x 8.5 walnut)  $135
"Malaise" (6 x 3 x 7 mahogany)  $135

Gilead, an artist who's been showing his art in our gallery during the summer months has added Snake Lady to his offerings.  This piece of art was inspired by an online competition to use a model as inspiration. He considers this painting his best work yet.

"Snake Lady" (20' x 48')  $600
