“Everything shines bright and beautiful during this time of year,” says gallery co-owner Monica Rowe. “It’s one of our most exciting months because we have so much fun helping our clients choose the perfect presents for their favorite people. We invite everyone to come see the gallery’s artful gems that are sure to add dazzle to yourself and your home or the home of a friend – inside and out!

Sculptors Shirley Eichten Albrecht and Kim Kori have gotten into the spirit of things. Shirley’s new gourd sculpture is painted a metallic shade of green, fitting for a piece she named Metallica. “What can I say?” says Shirley. “I was in the mood for a little bling when I was creating this one.”

This sculpture of a chipmunk on a hike with a trail of footprints behind him is my ode to this timeless creed.”
