Brath and Hughes is a wonderful gallery that has opened it doors on Main Street in Mechanicsburg, Pa. The gallery is nice and cozy and filled with wonderful works of art, and I'm excited to be one of the artist showcasing my work.  I'll be attending first Friday on Feb 3rd, and would love to meet you, and help you pick out the perfect scarf.

The building used to be a bank. They've turned the bank vault into a mini gallery space, so cool.

I really loved these wonderful sculptures by James Krabiel. Many of his sculptures are working assemblages of found art, combined with carved, welded or other constructed metal and natural materials. His combination of synthetic materials coalesced with natural ones counters the representation of energy in his paintings, thereby creating a thematic dichotomy. This approach parallels the paradoxical dichotomy of energy as both a fluxed and constant entity within our reality. This is best demonstrated by his kinetic and mobile sculptures, which celebrate energy through both simplistic hinges and pulleys as well as more complex, fully functional motors. Whether intricately detailed and carved out, or minimally designed and shaped, the dynamic and versatility displayed in the kinetic energy of his sculptures remind us that energy is not inert or finite, even within an object that at first glance, appears to be so. The form and shape of Krabiel's sculptures are mirrored by those in his paintings, further correlating the relationships between abstracted, spiritual and kinetic energies."
