Earth & Sky John Gould and Lorraine Ferrell at The Venue
06:00 pm to 07:00 pm
The Venue Fine Art & Gifts
http://www.Thevenuebloomington.com
The Venue is pleased to host a collection of work that comes from the earth, and the sky! Join us Friday March 18th at 6pm with light refreshments.
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 editions, 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 contuse 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.
Visit the Venue and experience these two great artists!
