You can find his beautiful handcrafted and uniquely one of a kind books at Village Artisans in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Bill is such a kind artist to work with and if you stop in on a day he is there you will probably catch him working a new books, ( like I did this past Monday, poor guy had no idea I would whip out the camera and start snapping away! ) He will answer any questions you have or just chat the afternoon away with you. Bill just recieved a new, Masculine shipment of leather, which he refers to as the Harley Davidson of book binding.. SO, If you are looking for a great masculine journal for your honey this Valentine's Day, you know where to go! Something I didn't know was that if you fill up your lovely journal, he will put a new set of paper in for you! Really???? You can use these over and over!

Thanks Bill for putting up with me!

ps,,,YES, Village Artisans does ship!

Evening of Art at Serendip

2010-01-23T09:12:00.000-08:00

What is amazing about a creative evening with women is their Humor and true Support of each other. Some come to an evening of wine and art with slight terror and others with absolute joy and excitement.

Questions, Doubts, Fears, Concerns, all fade as talk of the day, children, husbands, family and getting to know each other starts. Fears subside, gentle encouragement of yes, and keep going begin....

Statements of " that looks great", " ARE YOU KIDDING ME? That LOOKS AWESOME"!

Mothers, Daughters, Old Friends, New Friends, ...

There is something unique and absolutely magical about coming together with women & creating.

Layering, with paint, adding dimension with
charcoal, paper, stamps and marker

HAPPY ARTISTS!

You Women ROCK, and that's all I have to say about that!

"Happy, vibrant, and beautiful" are the words most often expressed by viewers of my artwork. "Thank you" is my response, but mission accomplished rings in my head. Emerson said " Earth laughs in flowers." I seek to express this exact sentiment in my artwork. I seek to celebrate God's glorious gift of the seasonly morphing natural world. I desire to capture and express this so that it can be enjoyed inside our living spaces.
I am a current Powell resident. Ohio born into a family of competitive and brainiac children. My fate was sealed when my fourth grade art teacher named me artist of the month. " it was an owl expressed in sunflower seeds and elmers glue. " i met my lifetime partner and hubby in high school. I am a graduate of Columbus College of Art and Design. For years I espressed my love of nature and creativity through professional floral design. I've been raising three fabulous kids literally painting every wall in our home, and other's too. Now I am back to expressing myself through these mixed media painting.

Please enjoy.

ARTIST Trading Card Show!

And Everyone is Invited!
So come on all you bloggers and readers and artists and would be artists! Here is your chance to get Original Artwork for FREE!
Of course, you have to contribute your work in order to get work. A lot of people know how this works, but let me just give you the specifics...

There are some RULES to trading Artist Cards

1. Artist trading cards are pieces of watercolor paper, cardstock, or illustration board that are 2.5"x3.5" in size.
2. An artist creates an original work of art on these tiny canvases and then trades them with other artists through groups and events.
3. Trade is the operative word. Cards should not be sold.
4. Any medium is allowed on trading cards. Some examples of mediums that other artists have used is crayon, wax reserve, collage, gel pens, concrete transfers, watercolor, colored pencil, and pencil sketchings.
5. On the back of the cards, the artist should print their name, contact information (an email address is fine), the title of the work on the artist trading card, and a number if it is part of a series.

ATCs can either be bought at Art Stores pre-made or can be made from larger sheets of paper cut down to size.

So, if you are interested consider this your official invitation and follow the specifics above and below...

These are the Village Artisans Guidelines

Yep! That's Diane with her honey , Jim , kissing under the Mistletoe at the Gallery this weekend. A busy day with snowflakes swirling around and christmas music filling the air. So many people were in Yellow Springs, despite the COLD and snow. Maybe it just put everyone in the mood for the holidays. I think it did for these love birds!
So after it was all said and done that day, I was making trips to and from the car, when the sight of the gallery just looked so serene and peaceful! I just had to share! Don't you just want to come in and have a glass of vino with one of the artists?!

12 Pack Art Showing
NOLAA Gallery

Did you just throw that can away or did you recycle?
At NOLAA Gallery, Artists have taken it one step further and have REUSED a variety of Crushed Cans as Canvas for their creative endeavors.

Meet the artists as they show off the different media they used to create this
one of a kind, and original art!
Each piece created with the idea that as artists we need to be ecologically conscious and think of our environment in art as well as in the day to day. By using recycled materials, you get not only a funky and cool work of art by an amazing artist, but you are helping the environment too!

It’s A Green Art Movement this month at NOLAA Gallery!

Getting to Know Nancy Mellon

2008-11-07T03:02:00.000-08:00

NOLAA Gallery is excited to introduce Nancy Mellon to you today! Stop by the gallery and visit her if you are in town!

......in her own words.....

I am a multi media artist. The last 2 years I have been a blast making public art with the JAFAGirls....

I work in intense spurts intermingled with tense art cramps, when everything stops, until I meet up with another artist or some fabulous piece of art or a nice day or.... and get juiced again! I work with clay, pencils, acrylic paint, fabric, yarn and junk. I love people, nudes, conversations about big ideas, the color green, intense colors, esp, next to black, intricate patterns, Green County,(it's GREEN), my tree house studio ( not a real tree house, but I see leaves and branches out each window ). I especially love Yellow Springs, Ohio. It's beautiful with lots of trees and artists everywhere.

One of my favorite things to do is gallery sit in one of the galleries. I get to talk with customers from all over the world, visit with my art friends that drop by and tell people about all the wonderful things that they can do in Yellow Springs.

Nancy is represented by NOLAA Gallery & the Village Artisans in Yellow Springs.

Nancy's Top Ten Reasons to Buy Original Art.....

1. It makes you more creative by
having creative things in your space (osmosis)

2. it's solidarity with the artists of your world

3.it keeps interesting people in your area
(because they can afford to live there if somebody buys their work),

4. it's history (at least later on it will be! We know most things about
people of the past by the art they left behind,)

5. it comes with good vibrations attached

6. art that comes from the artist makes life come
alive

7. it's not canned (unless it's on a can)

8. it reminds you of magical things

9. it's made with fingers and brains,souls, it's a bit of humanity

10. It's a mystery....

Art Q & A

2008-11-03T06:11:00.000-08:00

Meet Bill Brown, Artist in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Currently Represented at NOLAA Gallery.

haven't you always wanted to peek over the shoulder of an artist?

Today Bill Gives us his Top 10 Reasons To Purchase Original Art.

Is this meant to be serious? Sometimes Yes, Sometimes No. This is for you enjoyment.

Let us Entertain YOU!

Top Ten Reasons Why People Should Buy Original Art, By Bill Brown

10. It's a great way to support the community.

9. If you buy a dozen, you get the thirteenth free.

8. If you don't buy art, then Jenny can't paint. And if Jenny can't paint, she's likely to smack somebody!

7. It's a great investment for your future. Yeah right, just kidding.

6. The artists need the money to support their habit.

5. Chicks really dig lots of original art on your walls.

4. All the paint and glue fumes can get you kinda stoned!

3. What else are you going to spend all that money on? Food and gas?

2. Supporting the arts is a great way to meet models.

1. If you don't buy it, it will just stack up in our garages.

Time with Diane

2008-10-26T14:19:00.000-07:00

NOLAA Gallery is so blessed to have such amazing artists as part of the venue. Each one brings an eclectic mix to the gallery which makes viewing for any client exciting! So much to choose from!
In addition to our website, NOLAA Gallery, we are launching the New BLOG!

Here you can see more art work and spend some time with our artists as they create, chat, and relax. I hope you enjoy getting to know them and their work as much I do.

Thank you Diane, for being our FIRST video. She is a BRAVE lady!

Diane Lutz is an amazing artist with an ability to capture the true spirit of animals with oil and acrylics. Currently she works in mostly acrylics.
This video was taken last weekend during Art Stroll in Yellow Springs. The weather has changed to windy and cold since then, but at the time, Diane was able to paint for strollers outside NOLAA Gallery.

ENJOY!!!

Again, thank you so much Diane!
