The Avenue Gallery – Feature Artist – Carolyn Houg

Carolyn Houg's sculptures are mid-fire clay finished with oxides, underglazes and stains. Each piece is unique and one of a kind. Playful and quirky, they often place the subjects in unlikely situations. Birds are riding when they can fly; polar bears sailing when they can swim. Many of her characters act against their usual instincts; sweet lions and fierce rabbits. All are meant to have us pause

The Avenue Gallery – Feature Artist – Marianne Meyer

"My work is always changing which gives me the pleasure to experiment and move forward. I work and rework my paintings until I reach the point when I feel that they express just the right amount of layering, structure and depth.
