Phew! We’ve been open a mere 8 weeks, which in dog weeks is something like a couple of years and during election years feels like, well, at least 800 decades. In “art weeks” this means it’s time to refresh our art and reorganize our space. So, we now have 10 new artists and lots of gorgeous new art and original objects on our walls and display spaces.

We’ve also been taking quality photographs of every item in the space for our soon to be released new website — thank you Nikon D80, my new best digital friend. But, let me give thanks to my 10 foot ladder, my old best friend and workout buddy — who needs one of those fancy elliptical machines when you have 14 foot ceilings and 100 or so pieces of art to move around, carefully I might add.

In the exercise care category, some of my favorite new works include beautiful handformed glass vases by master glass-blower David Gappa. One of his vases below, aptly named Celestial Vase. More on David and our other artists soon.
