Gallery Opening Success


Brian was in good company with the Artists of the Limberlost at the "Out of the Woods" show last week.  Over 80 people attended the opening at The Art Space gallery and the reaction to the art was positive and complementary.  The show continues until May 28.

"Out of the Woods"


The Artists of the Limberlost are celebrating their 5th anniversary but this is the first time that they have staged an art show together.  Each August they open their studios to the public, showcasing their work individually, so this is a special exhibition.


Brian usually creates his art on his lathe but an especially beautiful bark-edged slab of black walnut inspired him to make this coffee table. 



The resulting "Out of the Woods" show is an eclectic mix of exceptional art:  Jerry Friedman's driftwood sculpture, Susan Higgins' fused and stained glass, Mark Kulas' stylized wildlife and wilderness paintings, Catherine O'Mara's egg tempura paintings, Brenda Wainman Goulet's bronze sculpture, Sharon Stock Feren's mixed media of photograpy, painting and mosaics, Jeff Miller's acrylic and oil paintings and of course Brian's woodturned bowls and platters.



The show opens at The Art Space Gallery on Friday, May 6th with a reception from 5 pm to 8 pm and continues until May 28th. For more information about the "Out of the Woods" show and the Artists of the Limberlost see:

The Artists of the Limberlost Celebrate 5 Years





Please join us for the opening of the "Out of the Woods" art show on Friday, May 6, 5 to 8 pm at The Art Space or drop in May 6 though May 29. 

Five years ago Brian and I were making the final plans to move full-time to our cottage on Rebecca Lake when we got a call from Catherine O'Mara.  She had heard that Brian was a woodturner and invited him to join a few artists in the Limberlost area who were planning to develop a studio tour.  It has been an honour to be part of such a talented group of artists and a pleasure to welcome people into our studio.
