We wish you a prosperous and “artful” New Year!

Below, a few images from last night’s “The Good Things” exhibition, featuring Ron Russon and Mary Scrimgeour.

The Kimball Art Center held their annual Charity Lift Auction last week. Six quick draw artists battled it out to win a solo exhibition at the Kimball’s Badami Gallery. With only an hour and a half, the talented artists produced incredible works which were then auctioned off.  It was an exciting evening that benefited several local charities, and one we will look forward to for 2012. The winner of the Badami gallery show, with his metal chandelier sculpture, was Justin Pok: http://justinpok.com/

Combining sophistication and creativity, my designs constantly evolve to meet and dictate today’s fashion, with quality, elegance and distinctiveness. KRYSIA RENAU jewelry has a unique and exciting look that is sure to stand out. From gold plated necklaces, earrings to stunning statement rings and one-of-a-kind pieces with a little bit of vintage glamor.

The Humorous… “My wife loved her “Horse Stuff” painting [by Mary Scrimgeour], which was a better gift than a vacuum cleaner or rhinestone handled mop!”

The Love Fest…  “I wish I could convey how warmly [my husband] and I speak of our experience with you at your gallery, and how often we fantasize about escaping for a weekend to linger in your gallery again and simply enjoy all the beauty and art in Park City.  Skiing brought us there, but your gallery will be what brings us back!”

Thank you for letting us know how your artwork and experience at Gallery MAR has affected you! Cheers and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
