David DeVaryAmong the stars of this special show is David DeVary , known for his "Cowboys
& Cowgirls with Attitude".
 The Attitude
in David DeVary's paintings comes from the cowboys and cowgirls he's met. Early
on he would photograph the rodeos for inspiration. DeVary realized the Western
cowboy and cowgirl are American icons and paints them as such using gold,
silver and copper leaf, much like the icon painters of old.
His contemporary
work captures the values of the West with interest, beauty and
sense of good being. |

Sherab Khandro
Sherab recently debuted a stunning limited edition bronze piece at Goldenstein
Gallery.
The Prayer Wheel plays a very important role in
Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The practice of turning the wheel has been used for
over a thousand years to release prayers for peace and compassion into the
world. Khandro is one of a handful of western artists to receive formal
training in bringing forth this traditional art in the way it has been done in
Tibet for centuries.

Ernst Gruler
has
created functional art in masterful pieces that come from years as a successful
model maker and high-end cabinet-maker for clients in New York City.
Known for his
spectacular high style tables, Gruler recently debuted "Let There be Light" a
series of lamps designed to artistically illuminate interiors.
Over the years, he
has developed a unique fabrication process, which involves bending wood
laminates into architectural forms that look more like functional sculpture
than traditional furniture. However, the chairs, tables, pedestals and lamps
are not only beautiful designs, but are functional and durable as well.
