In the month of November, Gallery North will be showcasing local artist, Lonni Rae Flowers with her solo show “Horses and Other Best Loved Critters”. The exhibit features a wide array of Ms. Flowers’ artistic expressions in acrylic, watercolor, colored pencil, jewelry, silk and other textiles. The show will be available from viewing November 1^st through the 30th.

Ms. Flowers has been a member of Gallery North for over 10 years and has been a professional artist for over 25 years in Central California. Her explorations in creativity began from early childhood, and from the beginning, her favorite subjects were animals, especially horses, that frequently decorated her school assignments and won awards. Her repertoire quickly expanded to include florals, landscapes, and more.

This show is a display that took a number of years to develop since it incorporates a variety of mediums and styles of art. Among the pieces will be a textile and driftwood wall hanging, several hand-stitched silk pillows, many colorful hand crotched scarves, as well as Ms. Flowers’ award winning paintings in watercolor, acrylic, and silk. About her jewelry Ms. Flowers says, “My life-long fascination with color and texture eventually led to creating unique jewelry and I love the tactile qualities of this art form.” 

The exhibit is open daily at Gallery North with a “Meet the Artist” reception on Saturday, November 9th from 1-4 pm. Art Walk will be Thursday November 21st from 5 – 8 pm.  These events are open to the public so come meet the artist, enjoy the exhibit and  refreshments will be available.
