SUSAN RANKIN
Large Shard Vessel
Glass 9 x 7 x 5
$800
With this new series of blown vessels I am working with more transparent translucent colours, shards, glass threads and thread drawing. The resulting pieces have a history/story built into the surface, which encompass the optic qualities of glass and light. The story is abstract, but engaging, and flows around the form. There is a weightlessness a suspended motion caught within the depth of the surface. – Susan Rankin
Small Shard Vessel
Glass 7 x 6 x 3.5
$400

SHINAH LEE
Moonlight
Oil on canvas 36 x 24

CAROLYN HOUG
Leaning In
Ceramic 15 x 8 x 11
$650
My sculptures are playful and quirky and often place the subjects in unlikely situations. Birds are riding when they can fly; polar bears sailing when they can swim. Many of my characters act against their usual instincts; sweet lions and fierce rabbits. All are meant to have us pause and consider all we have in common with our fellow creatures. – Carolyn Houg

FEATURE TESTIMONIAL
I recently walked into The Avenue Gallery and was met with courteous, discreet, knowledgeable and helpful staff. I was able to browse without interruption, but information and assistance was instantly available without having to ask. The art is really very wonderfully curated, and the quality of paintings, bronzes, glass, ceramic, and jewelry are top-notch. I did purchase a stunning work in glass and asked that it be shipped, which posed no problem at all. The work arrived today (intact!) and the packaging to ensure its safe transit was most remarkable. Anyone looking for a lovely art experience would be well served by visiting The Avenue Gallery.
