Three more trains done in preparation for Nov-Dec show in Berkeley Springs!  They are really fun to do.  Good thing - I have lots more of them to get ready!  :-)

Van Meter Reception

3/23/2013

1 Comment

 
When  Robert  Van Meter died unexpectedly in early December, the gallery decided it  was  imperative that a show be mounted to honor him and his work.  Not only were Van Meter’s turned pieces of the highest quality, the range was enormous   including everything from stunning turned “art” bowls to practical nut crackers and rolling pins to “just-for-fun” pieces, such as a “mosquito house,” reflecting Van Meter’s droll sense of humor. Taken as a  whole, the work demonstrates a quality found in all truly great artists: a need  to keep trying new things.
As his son  Barry put it, “Once he mastered something, it was time to move on.”  More than a  dozen objects will be on display during the show’s two week run, on loan  from  the family and members of the Apple Valley Wood-Turners, which Van Meter helped  launch. One of the members, Mark Zimmerman, who shows and sells his work through  the Fire House Gallery, will curate the show.  Attend the  opening Friday, March 22nd from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and you’ll not only see this wood-turner’s  amazing work, you’ll also meet another  well-known and much loved member of our  community, Val Van Meter, Winchester Star reporter and the late artist’s  wife. (taken from the Fire House Gallery and Shop's website!)

Here are some photos of this lovely event:

I'm so excited!  I've been accepted as the newest artist in this beautiful gallery and shop in Berryville, VA.  I've never wanted to be the biggest collector of my artwork, so the more places I have it for sale, the better my chances are of getting it all sold!  :-)  For more information about the gallery, click here.
