late summer in the gallery

The gallery is chock-full of delicious craft/art and fine art. Over this long summer, our artists have been delivering fresh new works you might not have seen yet.

Terrie Corbett has joined us! She 'paints' on glass with vitreous enamel and then fires the glass, creating rich abstractions.

Our 'Architects-As-Artists' show continues through next week. Then Valerie Goodwin's large architectural studio quilt/maps will leave to be a part of her teaching stint in California. Rick Rado's abstract paintings will remain in the gallery through September.

As Valerie's quilts go, Linda Clark's original watercolors of sunflowers will come in. Nothing represents late summer in North Florida more than ripe, mature sunflowers! This year, she has them large and small, as well as printed onto note cards, greeting cards, china mugs and as frame-able prints!

We have collages by three different artists: Courtney Prahl continues to produce her delightful works of houses, birds and trees. Claudia Howat has produced several of alligators and one of flowers. And Charity Wood's digital collages juxtapose personal photos with color graphic images.

We have a serious collection of great earrings! Our art jewelry collection is truly good, representing the talent of 20 Tallahassee designers.

And, if you're going away for Labor Day or any of the fall holidays, we have a great selection of 'hostess gifts' like wine coasters, cheese boards & trays, handwoven linens, and soaps! All handcrafted by artists; all handmade in America! Come see!
