Artist of the Week: Chris Rockwood

"In 2009, I took my first community pottery class. I fell in love. The rest is history. I have learned so much since that first day, not only about the process and forming clay to object, but about myself. To be less critical, to laugh, to feel joy, and with every mistake slow down until a new idea emerges. I feel connected to the earth, to the history of clay and to the h=journey of all potters throughout history."

Come to the Nelson Visitor Centre Gallery to view the Chris Rockwood collectionšŸ’œ

New in the Gallery! Ansel Anderson's prints 🌲🌊

"Ansel is a visionary creator, writer, musician, and yoga & meditation instructor. He draws inspiration from a variety of life experiences, wisdom traditions, and landscapes all around the planet.

His artwork seamlessly fuses the essence of the natural world with vibrant and semi-abstract surrealism. Since an early age, art, imagination, Nature, and creative expression have been prominent themes in Ansel’s life. Naturally this was only enhanced by many life experiences ranging from climbing, hiking, and biking from the mountains of the Pacific Northwest to the Andes, and surfing and sailing the Pacific and Indian Oceans."

Artist of the Week: Nancy Ferguson with A Lifetime of Earrings

"My name is Nancy Ferguson. I have been living in Nelson for over 30 years and am a retired kindergarten teacher. Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE earrings. Having over 1500 pairs myself I decided it was time to start making them!

Wood earrings: wood burned and stained or painted. Detailed with alcohol ink, acrylic paint, or pencil crayons.

Acrylic earrings: may have vinyl with a resin coating, alcohol ink or acrylic paint.

Leather earrings: are hand cut and are detailed with embossing, vinyl or acrylic paint.

I hope you enjoy wearing them as much as I enjoy making them."

We have such an amazing variety of Nancy's earrings here at the Nelson Visitor Centre gallery. A little bit of something for everyonešŸ˜Šā¤
