April at Penn Cove Gallery
Our April Featured Artist is Gary Leake. Conceptual ideas float around in Gary’s head (sometimes for a day but often for years) until the magic moment when he finds that particular piece of timber that triggers the project. The wood’s natural character, which acts as a catalyst for moving the abstract idea to reality, truly drives the final design. Thus each artistic creation is truly unique. Each piece is carefully crafted by hand using many of the woodworking techniques and tools employed during the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries. The resultant ‘feel’ and warmth of the wood can only be experienced by touching and caressing it. Touching of Gary’s art is indeed mandatory. Gary’s labors of love demonstrate his creativity as a contemporary artist and his woodworking skills.
Penn Cove Gallery Rotation
After Valentine’s Day we rotated our artist’s work in the gallery, which we do each quarter. It’s an exciting time that refreshes our gallery and the work on display. Did you also know that each of our artists’ works at the gallery at least one day a month? Visit the gallery to meet them, feel free to ask about their work and let them help you find that unique wedding present or special gift.
