Celebrating the success of our artists elsewhere:
This is so exciting. Zebith Thalden, will be in Ashland in July (Yay). This event on "Creating Eco-Art" looks to be really fun.
You can also come see her work here at the gallery. Some of my favorite pieces are these series of a very, very up-close look at beetles. Yes, makes me think of Georgia O'Keefe, but of insects instead of flowers.
Zeith will also come and spend a day at the gallery, just visiting and being available to speak in-depth about her work. Stay posted on the exact date.

Someone asked me today what my favorite piece of art is in the gallery and why. I have many, but one of my top picks must be this piece from Erin Linton. It is one of the most complete and balanced pieces: it has cool tones and warm tones; it’s colorful yet almost monochrome; it has the earthy gnarl of the branch as a base to the elegance and grace of the white egret; it has a great presence without being too big in any room.
Come in and fall in love with it in person.
