A LITTLE....... SOMETHIN”

It is said that good things come in small packages. That’s why there are many small artwork exhibitions and sales across the country and why we have this special section.

Bigger isn’t always better. There are sites on the internet, however, that dictate the size of a work in relation to the size of a wall and the amount of space to have between small works. Another soothes that if you have fallen in love with small pieces, don’t fret!” Don’t fret, indeed. Buy what you love, what moves you, hang it alone or with other works, and enjoy it.

Leslie Lewis Sigler often paints spoons along with other mass-produced silver serving pieces. Although the pieces don’t vary coast to coast or country to country, their use and the environment they’re in produce unique wear and, in most cases, undesirable tarnish that is often quite beautiful. She says, By composing portraits of silver heirlooms, I explore the character evident in their inherent design and ever-changing patina. Each singular object’s form, condition and character transform an otherwise functional object into something rich with history and artistic beauty, with the power to reflect our own life stories and family histories in the process.”
