We are once again hosting our annual show “Small Jewels.” Clients can shop for the holiday season and fall in love with artworks that all cost $500 or less. Unlike other exhibitions, clients can take away the piece they buy, ensuring the work can be gifted anytime throughout December.  

 

     Small Jewels has been a staple in our exhibition schedule for 19 years. This year, the artists featured in Small Jewels have been juried by our curatorial team, resulting in a coherent collection of over 80 original works from 17 unique artists.  

 

     The lineup includes local and regional participants and a mixture of resident and guest artists. The show features five pieces each from Al Barker, Kristin Blanck, Anne Buck, Sara Cameli, Rosemary Connelly, Barbara Efchak, Carol Fastuca, Yvonne Frankis, Virgil Holmes, Doris Ingram, Laura McGowan, Joe Milligan, Damon Pla, Steve Rogers, John Schisler, Nick Serratore, and Nancy Richards West.

 

     This year’s exhibition is highly diverse, with works done in oil, acrylic, pastel, and watercolor, as well as uncommon techniques like alcohol ink wash and hand-cast resin sculpture. The works encompass a wide variety of subject matters from animals and landscapes to still lives and contemporary abstracts.

 

     Tony Boyd-Heron, gallery co-owner, says, “Each year, it’s very exciting to get the show up on the walls. It’s always sort of a shock walking into a room lined with so many paintings.”
