"Through these imperfections, it makes people who they truly are," says Gillen, who has quickly become well-known in the area for her glass creations. "The choices we make, the decisions we face, the downfalls and windfalls makes us who we are. We are different, imperfect, flawed, marred. Embrace it. Recognize it." she urges. "Marred Art" is a collection of several different glass techniques showcasing the wonderfully imperfect world in which we live. "Created by a marred artist," Gillen adds, "to share a little joy to those who need it!"

For the gallery's featured exhibit in August, our artists have created engaging images that provide a respite from a world and lifestyle that have been Norma Woodward's a bit awry.
Other artwork depicts the allure and beauty of nature--ranging from Stacy Gaglio's "Spiral Shell," to Buddy Lauer's poised "Gold Finch" and the camaraderie of Collette Caprara's "Perched Pelicans." Other artists transport viewers to a place of internal beauty, such as the softly depicted blossoms in Nancy Williams' (right) "Meditative Moment" and Penny A Parrish's "Cryptic," which combines the pattern, uplift, and solace of a religious site. Brush Strokes artists work in a spectrum of mediums, including hand-crafted jewelry, unique glass art, charcoal drawings, pastels, photography, paintings in oils, watercolors, acrylics, metal sculpture, porcelain painting, and mixed-media, which can be viewed and purchased at
