Appalachian Mountain Forest Crafts

April is Keep America Beautiful Month and what better way to join in than to feature our mountain forest and the art that depicts them.  Our area of the North Carolina Mountains is blessed with many parks to enjoy the natural scenery. The most visited is the Blue Ridge Parkway. A short drive from Asheville will take you to any number of scenic overlooks and hiking trails along the Parkway. In spring the budding leaves provide for subtle shades of color - pink red bud trees and white dogwoods, against the new green of leafing maples and others.

 You can find many tree related items at the Gallery - from tiles and wood bowls to jewelry and mixed media figures.  Bring a little of the mountain forest to your home!
