Élan Fine Art Gallery presents "Grain Adaptations"

Exhibit June 16 - July 6 2007. Artists Rob Brandegee, Rick Mowrey and Jesse Riesmeyer invite you to be inspired with their distinctive skill and imaginative creations using found logs, trees and organic drawings.

Furniture created by Rob Brandegee is inspired by texture, color, and energy of hand hewn logs and beams. Rob combines them with glass, steel and canvas to create unique, contemporary pieces.

Woodcarver Rick Mowrey recycles trees downed in storms into unique Grandfather Clocks. Carved from White Oak, Sugar Maple, Sassafras, Pine and Cherry trees each keep time with German quartz or pendulum movements, and are signed and numbered.

Jesse Riesmeyer’s style of drawing is often compared to that of Escher and Dali. Her works move in unexpected, organic forms and are complimented by the woodworking skills of Carey King. Jesse has established a definitive style, each piece is distinctive and completely new.
Please join the artists for a reception June 16, 6-9 PM. Free and open to the public.
