Smith Galleries Features Nicole Golden of Pea Soup

Smith Galleries has just received our first selection of the fabulous felt ornaments by Nicole Golden. We fell in love with them the moment we saw them. See them all here.

A life-long artist and maker of things, Nicole Golden created her hand-sewn goods company, Pea Soup, in 2004. Pea Soup is a little studio of bugs and elves and blossoms and fairies. All of these goodies are made with wool felt, tiny stitches and Nicole's two hands. She chooses to needlecraft with felt because she loves the way it translates her ideas and she loves the combinations of colors and textures. She strives to make her work “accessible” to everyone – young and old, lovers of art, admirers of good craftsmanship and those that just fall in love with a particular design or feeling of a piece.

Her goal is to make beautiful, unique art that brings joy to those who buy it and wear it - whether it’s a gift for a friend or something special for themselves. Folk art is a special part of our history and culture and making these small creations for everyday enjoyment is a lovely way to keep it alive.

Drop by Smith Galleries to see the entire selection or give us a call at 800.272.3870. Gallery hours are 10-6 Monday through Saturday.

Carolyn Zakarija Jewelry Featured at Smith Galleries

Carolyn Zakarija's jewelry is once again being featured at Smith Galleries.

Carolyn is originally from London, England, and now lives in Pennsylvania. She received her Bachelor of Arts Honors Degree from Middlesex University in London in 1980.

Carolyn's inspiration for her work is drawn from the immediate environment. Some pieces have a simplicity of form, others deliver a humorous "narrative" message.

The entire line of work is made of sterling silver, with gold filled accents. Each piece is carefully made by hand, with various surface decorations, made by hammering or rolling mill impressions using various materials.

Drop by Smith Galleries to see Carolyn's jewelry or see it here. Gallery hours are 10-6 Monday through Saturday. Call 800.272.3870 to order.

Natalya Romanovsky Art Featured at Smith Galleries

Smith Galleries is featuring the art of Natalya Romanovsky as part of a special exhibition at the gallery. See slide show of entire exhibition.

Pictured at left is Fish, an original oil on paper measuring 15" x 15".

As an artist Romanovsky places a lot of emphasis on design. She sees beauty in the world and sets out to capture it through paintings that stress harmony between color and form.

"I want to transform the beauty around me into shapes. I try to think of my work as a process of simplifying something huge into a manageable pattern."

Through her art she attempts to create these patterns being careful not to tame the wilder energies of life. Art should always have a little mystery in it. In her paintings a mysterious and intriguing ambiance exists, reminiscent of something surrealistic leaving the viewer to find a simple meaning of life in each work.

Smith Galleries is open from 10-6 Monday through Saturday. Join our E-Club, you'll be glad you did! And be sure to ask about our new Rewards Program the next time you are in the gallery. 800.272.3870
