I promised new sculpture images - here are a couple . . .



Campbell Paxton:

Steven Wagner:

What a nice surprise . . . with many other festivals going on, this artwalk brought out many old friends and new ones too!

Steven Wagner is from Jefferson, OH. He has been cutting stone, as a profession, for many years.

We are also featuring work by Campbell Paxton a nationally recognized sculptor, whose work can also be found in the Cape Cod area. Campbell lives in N.E. Ohio.

I know, I promised to post images of the new sculpture. Unable to do that, it seems that my photo program ended up being corrupted. I'll be getting a new one in the next few days . . .but, stay tuned . . .

The sculptor is: Steve Wagner.

August - the first week

With the hottest days of the year arriving, I try to beat the heat by staying in and playing. Some of my best jewelry has been created while listening to Harry Potter audio books. We all know that dark forces trouble Harry nearly all the time. Well, I think that those same dark forces have moved into my studio as of the end of July.


August 1st: the mother board on my trusted computer died - that isn't all that bad since the hardware can be replaced, but with the death of the mother board - I lost ALL of my passwords. (oops, silly me, should have known better than try to store them on the trusty, 'ole 'puter, right?) well, after several days of agony, most of the needed passwords have been recovered and I'm back with full force! YEA!


At Eye Candy Gallery, we have new stone sculpture. Beautifully done alabaster and marble, priced reasonably. Tomorrow, I will post images. Please check back.

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Just a quick reminder that Taste of Tremont will be held on Sunday, July 18th, and We WILL be Open - Stop in to see us!

Baba paintings

In case you don't know what a "Baba" is - in may European languages, a Baba is a Grandmother. I see fewer and fewer "Babas" as I get older. Babas used to frequent the West Side Market and wander around the Tremont area. My own Baba died shortly after I was born (she was actually my Great Grandmother.)

The painter: Maria Kovalenko Leysens happens to be my cousin. She was born at Grace Hospital on W. 14th Street. Her Baba lived on Kenilworth. Maria's Mother and Father lived in a house behind Baba's - which now happens to be next door to the Visible Voice Book Store. Maria's family moved out of the Tremont area, (back then it was known as "the South Side") in the early 60's.

The painting above is watercolor.

Don Winton Ceramics & Furniture

Don Winton is our featured artist for the month of July. Don is very talented, he not only makes ceramic pieces, both functional and decorative, but he also designs and builds beautiful furniture.

Don has been accepted into several shows and will be showing off his creations.

He has been with Eye Candy Gallery for several years, and every year his work becomes more and more beautiful.

9th anniversary of Eye Candy Gallery

Months have been flying by and so have the years. Eye Candy Gallery opened on W. 11th on June 21, 2001. Since then we moved to a larger location on Professor Ave. That happened in 2003.

2010 - Friday, June 18th seems to be the perfect day to celebrate . . . so that's what we are going to do. The Flip Side Band will play (indoors or out, weather dependent). Refreshments will be served. See you then!!!
