an original painting by Patti Bowman: 'Blue Brooms'

Patti Bowman studied painting and printmaking at the University of Calgary in Alberta and at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver, BC. She has continued to study and experiment with different techniques in classes at Pratt Fine Art Center and Gage Academy in Seattle, WA and uses many different tools and media in her paintings, including encaustics, oil, acrylic, relief prints, monotype and silkscreen to create her Jack-of-all-Trades/Conspiracy Theorist esthetic. She has participated in group and solo shows in galleries, city halls, libraries and hot beverage establishments in several cities scattered throughout the US and Canada. She is fortunate to be represented by Stratus Gallery in Banff and Elevation Gallery in Canmore, Alberta, both wonderful galleries in beautiful places.

'back when' fine art print by Jen Way

"Photography is a passion of mine. One that includes light and magic, beautiful moments and raw feelings. It’s not rushed or posed. It’s just the way you remember it to be." ~ Jennifer Way

Back When is shot with Jennifer's Yashica Mat EM medium format film camera. This scene was taken at a local antique store in their salvage, re-purpose area. "The light was just perfect that day, nostalgic and glowy. I was drawn to the theatre chairs, the row of them, the light sitting so perfectly across the red velvet. It reminded me of an era gone. One etched in memories."

Jennifer Way is a photographer who specializes in product, portrait and still-life photography. On a personal note, she has a husband and three children and believes in fairies and pixie dust. And she likes to build sand castles and forts with couch cushions and blankets. She has a hard time passing up second-hand chairs with good lines. And really loves dark chocolate.

fine art print by shelley miller

The print is one of a series Shelley Miller created in Brazil during a residency. Temporary sand sculptures were created in the guise of designer handbags -- the photo documents are all that remains of the work, as the sculptures themselves only lasted a few hours.

Shelley Miller is a Montreal-based multi-discipine artist best known for her work with everyday materials like sugar and sand. A graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design and Concordia University, Miller has received numerous grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Quebec Arts Council, as well as received the Commonwealth Arts and Crafts Award (2001) and the Sacatar Fellowship (2004). Miller’s work has been exhibited in India and Brazil as well as numerous galleries across Canada.

champage cork magnets by elizabeth steward williams

"Even functional things should be interesting. My friend Red drinks a good bit and so gave me a mess of champagne corks to work with. In my experience, people love champagne and people love magnets. The marriage of two things people love is nearly always fun." ~ Elizabeth Steward Williams

Corks are 1 1/4" across, 1/2" deep with a super-strong tiny silver magnet inset on the reverse. They are even snazzier in person than the photo suggests. If you plan to give these as a gift, please advise at the close of the auction and Elizabeth will package them accordingly; otherwise they will arrive nestled safely in repurposed packing materials for shipping.

PLEASE NOTE: Magnets pictured are not the exact set being sold in this listing, but are an accurate representation of the set you will receive.

Elizabeth thinks art in all its glorious forms is not a luxury of the ruling class and it should be accessible to everyone everywhere all the dang time. Some of her favorite things are people who smell lovely, going junking, hearing laughter, the color orange and finding the adventure that exists in every moment. Elizabeth makes art that she hopes is thoughtful, gorgeous and functional, doesn't carry her camera with her enough, and is inspired by the kudzu-laced, ghost-infused beauty of the South. She has been known to write here and here, and you can find her spouting off on Twitter, too.
