The St. Pierre Gallery on the main street of Floyd, Va., has announced its grand opening date for May 6, from 6-8 p.m. This is especially exciting for me because the gallery is now carrying my work! This is a first for me and it has happened just one year after I moved to the area. It has been such fun to meet so many talented artists like Carly Burke and Bill St. Pierre who have made the gallery possible. Their beautiful work is, of course, included in the gallery. Bill's gorgeous woodwork is all over the two-room space and Carly's Mountain Light Jewelry graces the shelves and tables. Becca Imbur's incredible handmade books are a delight to see; Eric's pottery sits near Wendy's and they are all gorgeous. Photos by Rob Jones. Paintings by Starroot. Many more whose names I don't know are also there. All of these talented folks have been in the area and the business a long time. My watercolors, prints and ink drawings are new to the mix and I'll let someone else describe them!
At any rate, we are all excited to be a part of this locally owned and operated venture and hope you can make your way to the lovely town of Floyd to see it. If you come during the grand opening you get a big bang for your buck because it is on a Friday when the town is full of blue grass music, flatfootin' and people from all over the place! Mark your calendar!
