Be the first to see the new creations of this very talented husband & wife team, who will be in the gallery during the opening reception. Demonstrations by Linda & Rick will take place on Saturday, October 2nd from 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Their “Fall Fantasy” show will be on display & available for purchase through Saturday, October 16th.

Linda & Rick, of Spicewood, have been represented by Artisans at Rocky Hill since the spring of 2009. The work of both artists has been popular with gallery guests & their work is favored throughout the Texas Hill Country, New Mexico and beyond.

Linda’s art is a combination of fantasy and representational realism. Most of her brightly colored acrylic paintings evolve from her imagination. Linda’s flower paintings are impressionistic in nature while her “hard edge fantasy” pieces combine the surrealistic world of dreams with her own mind’s eye. This intriguing style created by Linda is reminiscent of Gustaf Klimpt pattern wise, and poster like in its rendering. Linda’s work is always from the heart and will produce a mood when it is viewed.

The art of Rick Hewitt combines copper with fire and chemical treatment to create interesting and colorful adornments for the outdoors. Texture is hammered into the copper by hand and colors are the result of a special chemical burn. Rick’s Copper Wind Dancers along with hand-created feather clusters have been very popular with gallery visitors. The beautiful Hill Country where Rick lives has influenced his nature oriented colors and designs. New sculptural designs in copper will be presented during the “Fall Fantasies” show.
