SHARE NORVILLE

Gallery owner Share is an Okaloosa County native and life-long musician. Her love for the arts is undeniable from the moment you walk into Artful Things Niceville and discover the incredible group of local creatives she has curated and the community that the gallery and its patrons has become. Her passion for the Niceville community and for giving back is inspiring, and she herself is also an artist and an incredible framer.

ALANNA GRAYCE CAMPBELL

Alanna is a watercolorist and, lately, an acrylics artist (occasionally dabbling in oils as well) who loves to paint botanicals and takes signifi cant inspiration from nature. Her style has recently been called “iconic” and she’s really leaning into that. As if working in the gallery as the events coordinator and painting isn’t enough, she also hosts a podcast and blog in her free time. Passion projects are her passion, I guess!

SHEILA MAHONY

Sheila has been an invaluable addition to the team, taking on the framing workshop with full force as well as teaching private and group classes regularly. As an instructor she specializes in One-Stroke painting and children’s classes, showcasing her charismatic and kind personality. Sheila is often inspired by the tropics and the local bayous for her paintings, and draws oceanic inspiration for her steam-punky jewelry creations. She is such a creative treat!

CHRIS MCLOONE

Gallery photographer and copywriter Chris provides the vital service of capturing and articulating the beauty of the art featured at Artful Things Niceville. Not to be pigeonholed, though, Chris is an artist and instructor in his own right, teaching a teens’ drawing course and holding linocut workshops throughout the year.

REN COLBERT

Ren is a talented stagecrafter, multimedia artist, and soon-to-be college student. As if their fun hair and fashion choices weren’t a hint, Ren’s style is unique and strong, blending inspiration from nature and architecture to bring a fresh vibe to Artful Things Niceville. Ren is also a talented framer, and has been absolutely invaluable in the custom framing workshop. Ren’s hands are never idle, which is especially evident in their new collegiate adventures!

MEGAN “MJ” MONTGOMERY

MJ is a master framer, having gained signifi cant experience framing in Germany. She’s also an accomplished ceramic artist and watercolorist, and has graced area children with her knowledge as our resident home-school artist, utilizing her Masters in Education to instruct regular classes over the past few years. MJ and her husband left the gallery family late Summer 2022 for a new journey, but we are so grateful for the knowledge she’s leaving behind!
