A Place of Rest 9x12 Original Oil on Panel
If one were to describe Willis Miller’s work in a single word it would be serene.
Originally from Oklahoma City, Willis now resides in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He began his career as an artist over 30 years ago. Willis creates with feeling and thought as opposed to developing style. Perhaps that’s why the serenity is clearly read in his work.
On Saturday, July 9 from 1pm – 4pm we will host Willis in the Gallery. Then from 6pm – 9pm during our 2nd Saturday Gallery Stroll we’ll have an evening reception for him. This event is in conjunction with Eureka Springs’ 1st annual Fleur Delicious Weekend. Inspired by this French-themed celebration, Willis takes a unique look at the French flag in a painting called Still Held Together. For more information visit the Gallery website at www.83springstreet.com or call 479 253 8310.

We will introduce a new series of paintings by Sherry Young, a long-time resident of our town. Sherry says of her work: “I was born to be an artist. It’s been my passion for as long as I can remember! My schooling in the arts has been the School of Life. My inspiration can be from seeing a color or a pattern, and a piece of art is born from there.
Most of the time, all I need is a canvas or a blank piece of paper.
As I look at it, a picture always comes to me.”
“Quan Yin”
Original Art by Sherry Young
Sherry’s new paintings include “Om”, “Dalai Lama”, “Buddha”, and “Quan Yin”. These are all part of her “Self-Meditated” show that we will have for her on Saturday, June 11.
Join us to view these beautiful paintings and to
meet Sherry from 1-4 p.m. and again during the regularly-scheduled Gallery Stroll from 6 to 9 p.m.

Ken’s ceramic work and Sandy’s fabric art will be highlighted,
with many new pieces on display.
Sandy’s fiber, fabric and found objects figures are the culmination of years of exploration and adventures in sewing, dyeing, weaving, crocheting, basketry, beading and hand building with clay and anything else that sounds like fun.
Ken describes his work in these words: “Creativity is that process which gives external form to inner ideas or feelings evolving from things past, bridging to things future and recording a finite moment of self-awareness.”
Meet Ken and Sandy from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 28, and again during the regular hours for Strolls, 6 to 9 p.m.

"A Bird at Heart" by Sandy Wythawai Starbird
Eureka Thyme will feature Ken and Sandy Starbird
for our final show of the May Festival of the Arts.
