April 2 – 9th "Elemental Creativity " |
Our artists are inspired by nature's elements: air, fire, water and earth. And this month's featured artist paints in a manner that makes you smell the dust, feel the fire, reach for the water and grab hold of your neighbor to make sure you are still on planet earth! |
| Welcoming Jeff Ham and his colorful fluid canvases. From cactus to horses, cowboys to barn yard dogs, Indian chiefs to music legends and the ever seductive female form, Jeff Ham is elemental creativity on canvas. From fundamental building blocks uniquely incorporated into artistic expressions of complex ideas and emotions, Jeff canvases come to life.
