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.
