 New Work on Way from Spring Buying Trips

L Frank BflyThe Hanson Galleries buyers have just returned from several buying trips and have found many new artists and lots of new pieces to pique your interest.  There is exciting new work in various media that will be coming into the store throughout the spring season.  We will be reved up and ready for your special occasions, as well as Mom's Day, weddings and graduation, so drop by when you are out and about and see what's new.  

We're showing Cindy Mylynne (above) standing in front of her hand-made paper triptych. It would be stunning displayed on a dark accent wall.  Also in stock is a smaller diptych in blue tones.  Click hotlink to see blue piece. 
 
     
 
Porcelain Tile Art
by the MenashysL Frank Bfly 
 
  
This father and son team created their business making these handsome wall pieces with their own designs. Their unique art form has a 3-dimensional look causing you to want to touch them.  Bright, clear colors create scenes of birds and flowers, horses and sailboats and a variety of other interesting subjects.   Some of the tiles are designed with the flexibility to be free-standing decor as well as wall art. This team will be a popular addition to Hanson Galleries' offerings. 
 
 
Roger Dandridge
New large selection only at Memorial City location
 

L Frank BflyWe selected a great group of new jewelry from Roger when we saw him last week.  His work is in fine silver electroformed around semi-precious stones and raw crystals making each piece truly a one-of-a-kind.  We have displayed all his work at the Memorial City store or click the hotlink to see all the new pieces.

A gallery favorite, Michael Michaud, fashions this Redbud grouping in bronze and beautiful lilac pink keishi pearls. His new yellow rose of Texas pin and earrings are sure to be winners.
 
 
Leaf Skeletons become Artwork
by Morey

Yes, they are real leaves which are etched by hand one leaf at a time.  Although the artists' process is a trade secret, there is no denying the beauty of his shadow box framing this time with ash frames.  Several sizes available.

L Frank Bfly Another gallery favorite, Bruce Odell, just delivered a beautiful collection of his work.  Sizes range from 6" tall to 22" tall and have his tactile signature texture.  Click the hotlink to see all the new pieces.
 
 
Artist and Student Niche Awards Ceremony
 
L Frank BflyOn Sunday night, February 14, in Philadelphia, Hanson Galleries' gallery director Larry Williams was a presenter at the annual Niche Awards for artists and students.  (The retailer's Niche Awards are in the summer.)  Shown with Larry is Stuart Abelman, the master of ceremonies for the evening event.  He was our galleries' first glass blower and we have shown his work continuously for 29 years.  We salute both these gentlemen for an inspiring evening.  
 
Dear friends,
 
Thank you customers for keeping Hanson Galleries going during these uncertain times.  Our spring travels showed us just how lucky we are to be Texans right now.  Craft businesses in other states seem to be in worse disarray than here.  Many artists will not make it through these tough times.  We are doing our part to help them out when we can by supporting their work in our galleries and we appreciate your continued dedication to "Handmade in the USA." 
 
 
Thank you for your business! 
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Art, Donna, Larry and the Hanson Galleries crew
