Enjoy your meal while surrounded by Mary Tellez’s Custom Mosiacs.

Mary’s work is created primarily from china, crockery and tile found in thrift shops, salvage yards and dumpsters…. not surprising once you know Mary’s penchant for a great bargain and for repurposing items that might otherwise end up in a landfill. The colors, patterns, textures, curves and ridges inspire and direct Mary’s designs. Over time she has found a sense of spirituality in the mosaic process. When considering each piece and it’s contribution to the whole, thoughts come to mind about how the item has been discarded– perhaps because it was viewed as unfashionable or imperfect. The potential for what at first appeared useless is found, the multiple fracture lines of the mosaic add dimension and interest, and ultimately a new vision emerges from broken elements.

Enjoy the Photography of Chaddie Braun Crumm.

 A newcomer to the art world, Caddie is a photographer who grew up in central Pennsylvania, currently residing in Elizabethtown.  Primarily self-taught, Chaddie continues to explore various forms of the photographic arts.  “I am always looking to further my technical abilities as well as sense of composition… and, as I continue to learn, I know this will ensure never losing the potential to improve in my art.”

 

Chaddie offers a number of varied subjects, such as landscapes and city scape, architecture and landmarks, nature and wildlife, with his works being displayed in both color and black & white.  A benefit of this diversity is in his finding broad appeal among a wide audience.  “Hopefully , by meeting the interests and needs of others, I can continue to create and share my work.”

 

Mr. Crumm’s works are not only offered in a professionally matted and framed format, but also by way of a more intimate, smaller, note card style.  With each piece ready to keep or to share as gifts to others.

Enjoy your cup of coffee in “CrackedClay” mugs by Tom Abel. 

“I like things that are precise and smooth when other people make them, but I cannot bring myself to make something smooth and precise. I think the work I do reflects what I see in the world around me, rocks, busted up concrete, buildings in decay, and people, who although bright on the inside, show a weathered exterior to most who pass them by.”   www.crackedclay.com
