Budding Artists

Friday, June 7 - Saturday, June, 22

Last year the gallery partnered with The Heritage Child Development Center in

Berryville to showcase children’s art in a show entitled “Budding Artists.” It was so well received by the community that the partners decided to reprise the event.

As many as 80 pieces will be on display made by children as young as three months old.

The show opens with a special reception from 6:00 to 8:00 pm on Friday, June 7th.

The entire community is encouraged to stop by and see this joyous collection during its two week run. It will help explain why no less an artist than Pablo Picasso said he borrowed freely from the creations of children and always had their artwork hanging in his studio.

Gallery Welcomes New Water Color Artist, Andrea Burke

My creations are from the heart.”

Originally from Great Falls, Montana, Andrea Burke began painting in 2000, taking a watercolor class at the San Diego Art Museum, while living in San Diego with her husband. Working as a realtor, she got to know the area well and fell in love with all the historic buildings, painting many of them and then donating the finished products to local organizations for fund-raisers.

Retiring in 2011, Burke notes she is “now dedicating her time to artwork and being a serious artist!” more...

Fiber Artist, Chantal Gabard Signs On as New Gallery Assistant

When dressmaker and fiber artist, Chantal Gabard agreed to help manage customer relations and operations at the gallery in early 2013, everyone was thrilled.

Her background in accounting coupled with an understanding of art and artists makes her a perfect match. In addition, she has an undeniable gift for responding to customer needs – whether it's providing information about an artist or helping visitors choose the perfect gift.

And when French-speaking customers discover she's Paris-born and bred -- they can't wait to try out their language skills on her.

Best of all, she is an extraordinary fiber artist, part of a group of a dozen or so women who call themselves KAOS i.e. “knitting and other stuff.” The group has been showing and selling their work through the gallery since 2012 and helped create last fall's highly successful Fabulous Fibers for All show, which will be reprised this year.

The community will see Gabard's superb dress-making skills on display in her faithful rendering of a late 18th century Regency gown during the gallery's Faraway Places exhibit in April. She fashioned the pattern based on a dress she saw at the Victoria and Albert gallery in London.
