Significant pieces that last forever!

Artists often find inspiration in the natural world. This means they interact with nature and create works of art that incorporate what they observe opening up their imaginations to explore. These artworks can be abstract or realistic in any medium they have found a love and passion for. Our Garden of Imagination show brings together artists working in art, glass, clay and jewelry.

 with one of your favorite icons!

 Opening Reception Saturday September 23rd, 5-7PM

Show continues through October 28th.

 

The interest in celebrity portraits has been around since the work of the early Masters. Artists gain inspiration from everything they see and they have shown us many different ways to represent people.

 

Inspired by popular culture from movies, television, music, politics and art, these artists bring to life the beauty, glamour, and interest in our Pop Icons that we have worshiped and loved for years. Celebrity muses have inspired some of the world’s greatest artists, Warhol and Monroe, Hepburn and Avedon.

 

This curated show brings together original mixed media and giclee artwork of Craig Alan, Srinjoy, Nemo, original pastels of Loriann Latremouille, the ceramics of Noi Volko and glasswork by the Borowski’s.

The show is open to the public.

We’re proud to welcome to the gallery, Veteran NASA astronaut, Nicole Stott.  Nicole is working now to creatively bring together her love of Space and Art. An artist herself, she is a cofounder of the Space for Art Foundation whose mission is uniting a planetary community of children through the awe and wonder of space exploration and the healing power of art.

Susan Benjamin and Nicole Stott have curated an “out of this world” art exhibition with original paintings, prints, and jewelry by Nicole – including the first watercolor painted in space, and artwork by other NASA astronauts and historian artists, original Apollo Mission space photography, as well as art spacesuits created through the Space for Art Foundation’s “Spacesuit Art Project”.  Show continues through September 9th.  The show is open to the public.

Inspired by a photo taken by STS128 crewmate Danny Olivas during their 6 ½ hour spacewalk.

This painting is Nicole’s interpretation of her own feelings as she reflects now on her time outside the ISS. To her it feels like a dream and she wants this painting to reflect that feeling through the colors used and the rough look of the piece.
