The Gallery just got these colorful handbags in by fabric artist Leslie Bowman. Fun for fall to spice up an outfit.


Celia Barbieri's Button Sprays

Local artist Celia Barbieri creates fun and whimsical sprays out of buttons, pottery and felted wool to add to your flower arrangements or potted plants.Your imagination is your limit as to what you can do with these great sprays - even tuck them into ribbon to decorate a gift.




Fall and Winter Watercolors

The Gallery has received several new original watercolors by local artist Mista Whitson. Her fall scenes depict the vivid colors of the mountains around us and her winter paintings show a softer palette of the snow capped mountains.

Horse Play


Staff member Sallie is an avid horsewoman. She also loves the high quality horse themed craft work we have in our Gallery.

Jeweler Jim Littlewolf has outdone himself with his new horse necklace - the detailed description is below. Isn't it stunning?



We have many other pieces by Jim and all just exquisite in their design, detail and color. If you prefer a handbag rather than jewelry Lynn Lyndall creates her lovely purses from end to end - she paints the picture, works the leather and does the beadwork on the handbag. A very talented artist.






Our Gallery features very high quality items from local artists. Please browse our blog for more exciting creations.

Accessorize with Red!


Our hand painted silks by Polish immigrant Joanna Alot catch the eye of both our men and women customers with their bold colors and designs. Men love her geometric ties and the scarves add an extra flair to any women's outfit. President Bill Clinton and former Chicago Mayor Richard Daly both have her ties.

New from Kimberly Anderson


We have gotten some new framed sgrafitto on board by Kimberly. The frames enhance the colors of the birds and insects.

In addition to her framed pieces we also acquired these copper backed necklaces with her sweet paintings on them. Like the others we have, they are threaded on a colorful ribbon.

These two framed pieces have raised bits of stone on the surface of the etching giving it a more 3 dimesional look.

New Fall Pottery from Lisa Conard



We have added Lisa's fall leaf pottery just in time for autumn. She uses real leaves placed on the pottery and they burn off during firing in the kiln, leaving the detailed imprint. This makes each piece unique.









As you can see we have a lovely selection of bowls, plates, mugs, platters, pitchers, soap dispensers.
