Jeff's Pick

Today for Jeff's pick I'm picking myself. I recently did a solo show at Mendenhall Gallery on the ECU campus. The show "Precarious" was my first solo show, and was a chance for me to do something a little different. Enjoy

Bird Nest Adventure Series

Gallery artist, Hilda Spain-Owen decided to paint bird nests, exploring the twists and turns of the lines of nature. Her life took some twists and turns of its own about that time so she incorporated that into her art. She began painting the bird nests with brightly colored “circus” balls in them to symbolize “hatching new adventures” giving her new life path good energy.

These little paintings make great energy gifts:
Baby gifts for good luck and as a first piece of original art
Wedding gifts as a reminder to keep new adventures hatching throughout marriage Graduation gifts to remind the graduat of adventures ahead
Birthday gifts for a nod to adventure in every new year
“Just because” gifts to bring a smile to someone’s face

Hot off the press!

A brand new shipment of rainbow-colored champagne flutes, wine glasses and sherbet bowls/old fashioned glasses just arrived from the Tennessee foothills glass studio of Prentice Hicks.

The rural setting of Prentice's family dwelling and glass studio in the former Wauhatchie tribe area with a stream flowing through the nearby cove, creates an ideal atmosphere for quiet concentration and work. Prentice prefers to work alone and uses no tools when forming the cup of his stemware.

He works with heat, centrifugal force and gravity to achieve the desired results. He keeps his pieces loose and fluid, characteristics Prentice believes reflect the properties of glass itself. He describes the resulting stemware as "easy to hold, attractive to use and friendly to the touch."
