Visit her website to learn more about her.... then come and meet her in person. Bring some questions.... especially ones about that HUGE project she is working on soon to be exhibited at 3S Artspace.

art up front street.... Deb Wheeler-Bean abstract and assemblage

Deb's eye for finding design and beauty is evident in everything she touches. Whether it's abstract, pen and ink, a simple pencil sketch, or found objects that will eventually become her next work of art. Sometimes she finds "it"... and sometimes "it" finds her. Whatever way it happens, we are always pulled in.

art up front street.... Dale Atkins' soft sculptural vessels .....

Dale has had a lifetime of making art... she can make anything. Her attention to detail and sincerity of purpose shows in her work. These hand built coil pieces show her connection with nature, her love of avian shapes, and her intense process-oriented style. Both of these earthy shapes are formed by working the clay into coils, then building and pressing, sculpting along the way, firing, then adding a thin layer of glaze to allow the texture to be evident, and then a final firing. Dale's art will be at At Up Front Street Open Studios Friday and Saturday, May 12 and 13.

art up front street.... It just wouldn't be spring without ...

Deb McLarnon's butterflies. Beautiful specimens of nature and happiness. Someone should follow Deb around sometime and take photos of her taking photos of butterflies. Does she chase them? Is she silent? Does she ever swear if they fly away before she gets "the shot"? We don't think so, really... who can swear while watching a butterfly. The process is fleeting .... but one thing not so fleeting - Deb's love for this moment of beauty. You can find Deb's work this May 12 and 13 at Art Up Front Street Open Studios. Tell a friend.
