ARTifacts Emporium<\/h3>\n

\"ARTifacts<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Featured at ARTifacts is metalsmith Anna Heron. \u201cI love every step of the metalsmithing process…even the boring nitty, gritty sanding and clean-up. The hope of the finished product is a thrill more overwhelming than I can describe. Having someone purchase and wear one of my pieces has got to be the greatest compliment I can receive. Everyone has that one piece of jewelry that they treasure and pass down through their family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Framemaker<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Framemaker is proud to present original illustrations by graphic designer Allison Lee. In regard to how her work is created, Lee notes: “Printmaking and computer technology seem to be at different ends of the spectrum, but I use both traditional and digital methods to create my illustrations and prints. Understanding the traditional process and applying that knowledge in my digital illustrations allows me to maintain a constant retro feeling throughout my work.”<\/p>\n

Front Page Deli \u2013 <\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is going to be a very unusual art show for Clarksville. Featuring artist that are all very accomplished artists working with different subject matter but in a style that is complimentary. The cohesive factor that brings it all together is that their work is so wildly imaginative. There will be works in oil, acrylics, pastel, water color, colored pencil and others that we haven’t identified but suspect might have a military surplus background. All with a captivating energy running through them.
