New in February

As we are heading into February, I can't help but think I'm missing the boat! So many great tidbits of advice, so many great resources and an abundance of talented people we can all benefit from...this is the year of sharing! An intention for the New Year...pass along all the great ideas and inspirations I'm lucky enough to be a recipient of!
Since 2011 began...

We attended the gift show in downtown LA...we took my mom ~what a great experience for her, she's never attended anything quite like it. With the hopes of finding new artist, walking aisles and aisles to do so ~ I believe we accomplished our mission. I can't wait for the new arrivals!

We had a wonderful artist reception featuring the jewelry of Gloria Prins and Lynne Carmody...the selection is awesome, they left their pieces for us to enjoy! In addition to the reception, we celebrated our 1 year anniversary!!!

Artist/Musician Jean Sudbury played her Mandolin then transitioned over to her Violin ~ she was the opening....her music was beautiful and peaceful!

Following was Michelle Beauchesne playing her Cello along with her friend Jeff playing his Violin...they were a wonderful duo. The setting was perfect in the back patio...we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day and evening! Visit www.michellebeauchesne.com to learn more about Michelle and contact Mary's Market in Sierra Madre to listen to Jean play...

Please come in and check out our featured artist...Karen Walker Chamberlin. Her paintings of Milagros are so beautiful and just flat out cool. You can read about her on our artist page.

Lots of new merchandise as well has come in...come visit the nest if you haven't been in a while. We should be on line soon!

Peace and Blessings!

CHRIS DODGE
ARTIST RECEPTION
AUGUST 20
6-8PM
join us for some wine, and light appetizers!

Artist Chris Dodge writes...

Painting is highly therapeutic for me. My subjects gravitate towards things I enjoy, interesting compositions, or things that I think are amusing. I have a tendency to lean towards food and animal portraits. I'm not trying to paint subjects that will necessarily sell or help me gain popularity. I've found that by painting with an honest agenda, my artwork has a way of organically finding its own audience.
