Fish at the Beach

Meet the creator of Fish Chum Master "Pieces" this weekend at the Coral Bay Club in Atlantic Beach. Terry Brennan of Little River, SC uses repurposed materials to make his fish creatures and says the process "always begins with a single item, whether it be a broken chair, a rake or a discarded silver bowl."

The annual summer show at the Coral Bay Club is Sunday, June 27 from 12 to 6 p.m. and Monday, June 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please join us!

Gallery Mascot


Those of you who visit our "physical" space in addition to our "cyber" space will recognize this sculpture. For those of you who don't live nearby, and visit us only on the web...allow me to introduce you to our gallery "mascot". This is "Big Blue"; and it is situated right in front of our gallery and truly symbolizes us. "Big Blue" was created by Wayne Trapp, a great sculptor and painter, represented by the gallery. Wayne is pictured here with the fabulous sculpture.

A Little Visitor!


We had a very fun opening Thursday night for our Summer Salon show. We did an
experiment and sent evites only, and no snail mail invitation. We had a great and enthusiastic crowd. And we had a very special little visitor to come. Look at those eyes!
PS...The Kyle Highsmith painting in the background of the photo sold that evening. That's always a good thing!
