There is a school of thought that artists must have only one recognizable style but Cherylee Duncan has too much artful energy to adhere to that 'rule'. If she has a distinct trademark, it would be 'eclectic' ~ Cherylee abhors waste and therefore get excited about reusing and upcycling as much as possible, to emulate nature's delight in each piece.
When she crochets rugs from all recycled fabrics Cherylee saves bits and pieces for use in mixed media paintings. This method, along with using only what is already on hand, is how she has created her new series, Threadscapes II ~ the options are excitingly endless.
Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the historic Liberty Building this May to see Cherylee's work ~ come by First Friday May 1st to meet Cherylee in person!
This show centers around the flow of life in the natural world, illuminated by the slanting light at the edges of dawn and dusk. The paintings celebrate life’s small wonders; the fleeting instance of a hummingbird, the rushing sound of a waterfall, the sweet smell of spring grass bending to the hooves of a new foal.
“Native Mother Nature” is a grand centerpiece of creatures engaging in a peaceful afternoon of spirits coming together, celebrating the simple joys of living as intended; and the painting “The Big Red Horse” honors the year of the fire horse, a year of building for a future of powerful beginnings.
Stop by the Liberty Gallery at 203 N. Washington St during May to see Janene's painting ~ stop by First Friday May 1st from 5-8pm to meet Janene in person!
This dazzling show transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family.
