Arts in the Village Gallery announces the August Featured Artist exhibit, Hot & Cool, showcasing the red hot dichroic fused glass designs of Dave & Dale Barnes juxtaposed with the cool and reserved acrylic abstracts of painter Kay Layne, for a truly well-balanced exhibit for your summer viewing pleasure.
Glossy vibrant colors flow and interact across the surface of circular, square, and rectangular vessels and plates. Upright sculptural pieces rest in metal frames to create unique spatial focal points. Using a variety of techniques, Dave & Dale Barnes create a colorful array of fused dichroic glass pieces that are alternatively, and sometimes simultaneously, organic and composed.
Kay Layne draws on her architectural and Southwestern roots for the palette and design of her abstract paintings. Through the use of geometric elements on open color fields, along with textured surfaces, Kay’s work speaks to viewers based on their own life experiences and interpretations.
Join Dave, Dale, Kay and other Gallery artists for the Featured Artists’ reception at the Gallery on Sunday, August 7th from 3 to 6 pm.

www.gravesmountaintrailrides.comDreams of Trees and Other Living Things
Arts in the Village Gallery announces the September Featured Artists exhibit Dreams of Trees and Other Living Things, a collaboration by paper collage artist Karen Oliver, and her daughter, ceramicist Amy Oliver.
Karen Oliver’s paper collages are created with an array of cut and torn papers, designed to render an impressionistic image that is captivating up close and from afar. Oliver enjoys depicting people, nature, landscapes and still life, but she finds herself gravitating towards trees, saying their strength, resilience and grace are the qualities that inspire her the most – elements that she looks for in all her subjects.
Ceramic artist Amy Oliver of Monkeytown Pottery uses colored slip and bare clay to carve and sculpt images on functional and non functional forms. The vibrancy of nature, trees and birds capture her interest. She is heavily influenced by Art History and the early sculptures and pots of ancient Mesopotamia and the energy of Vincent Van Gogh’s landscapes. Amy is also inspired when drawing with her friend Maria Nicklin, by critiques with her mother, and by her family.
Meet Karen, Amy and other gallery artists at the open to the public reception on Saturday, September 10th, from 5-8 pm.
