On Friday, March 25, at 6 p.m., The Venue will host its final Friday Reception for Earth & Sky, John Gould and Lorraine Ferrell at The Venue.
John Gould (1804-1881) is universally recognized as the father of modern aviary art, hence “The Bird Man.” Gould traveled from England, around the world, seeking out subjects for his bird lithographs. He then partnered with prominent artists of the day to produce limited edition, hand-painted masterpieces. The pieces in this show are circular 1850, beautifully matted, framed, and covered with museum glass. These works are rare, stunning, and yet reasonably priced. They have a beauty that has and will continue to stand the test of time.
Lorraine Farrell hopes to reconnect with many of her former customers from the days of Fossil Rain and expose new clientele to her unique jewelry designs. “The metalwork I employ (in my jewelry) is purposely minimal, allowing the inherent beauty of each fossil, gemstone, and mineral to carry the overall design.” Having secured her art education in England and Indiana University, Lorraine brings her vast experience to each piece, capturing beauty while preserving a clear and powerful connection to the Earth.
