Gallery Update: the Blue Pig

The Blue Pig Gallery in Palisade looks very festive with an array of fine artwork. Kay has designed a Christmas corner where you can find handcrafted ornaments, Christmas cards, and other holiday-themed work. Check out my origami horses, folded with metallic washi paper from Japan and hung with beaded wire hooks. If you are a horse lover, you will find a collection of holiday horse Christmas cards from my original watercolor paintings.

origami horse from imported Japanese papers,, copper wire, metallic thread, glass beads, and metallic crane charm. Made from a variety of papers, wires, and beads. No two alike- state color preference. $10 — origami horse from imported Japanese papers $10

The center of the gallery features the member artist show, “This Little Piggy,” a collection or miniature artworks suitable for gift giving. My offering for this show is a collection of mixed media collages designed around prints from my original watercolor paintings. Executed in a variety of themes from western landscape, horses, flowers, wild life, and Japanese themes, there is something for every decor and taste. These small works measure 7.5″ square. They are handcrafted on sturdy laminated paper substrate, embellished with ink, paint, and found objects. As a prototype to the iconic collages showing at the Gunnison Arts Center, these smaller collages are offered at $20 through December. More collages are on display in my “gallery pod.”
