About Claire Howard


 Claire's paintings are executed with a pallet knife, creating a rich texture with vibrant colors. This collection is about the peace and serenity of summer beaches and inspiring, thoughtful pathways. Many of her canvases in this exhibit are large. She is enjoying these large scaled pieces, finding that they give the look and feel of windows in interior spaces. They are perfect for sofa and foyer walls that demand an important statement. The subject matter is calming, refreshing, and beautiful. All the pieces on her website www.clairehoward.net are available as reproductions on canvas, wood, glass and even aluminum, making them suitable for outdoor patios and exterior walls. They can be enlarged or reduced. She is also including prints and cards in this exhibit. Please join Claire and David for their Opening Reception Saturday, May 5th from 5-7pm. They are featuring the wines from locally acclaimed Sugarloaf Mountain Winery and look forward to you visiting during the month of May.

About David Therrialt

David Therriault creates sculpture from stone. David’s artistic training and inspiration come from a lifetime of incorporating stone in natural settings as a landscape designer and as a shopkeeper at his countryside garden center in Beallsville, MD. His work reflects his intimacy with stone in nature and reveals its “beauty and soul.” Stones speak to the artist and they are reborn as garden sculpture, birdbaths, fountains, and home accents.

David’s sculpture is featured at Alden Farms, a countryside garden shop in the agricultural reserve of upper Montgomery County (www.aldenfarms.net). The sculpture garden at Alden Farms provides the perfect setting for David’s original works in stone.
