Fundy Artists Show and Sale

Jantje and Andrea were part of the 8th Annual Fundy Artists Art Show and Sale. This show took place at the Fairmont Algonquin, from Wed July 28 to Sat July 31.

Jantje displayed her folk art boards, paintings and cutlery sculptures while Andrea showed her coffee paintings and new collage works.

The show was extremely well attended and several Jarea pieces sold and went to good homes from across the world.

Bikers...

Geoff has almost completed the biker portion of his mural by Market Wharf in St. Andrews. The couple on the motorcycle are the very first couple who registered for Atlanticade. Since the bike festival is taking place in St. Andrews this year, the organizers thought it would be a nice gift for the couple to see their faces (and bike) painted on a mural.

Art Shows and Atlanticade

Cedar and Juhl have moved into the space and have been hard at work.

Geoff has been busy putting the finishing touches on his show which opens at Sunbury Shores on Friday July 2, 2010.

Here's the catalog:

Meanwhile, Jan and Andrea are busy preparing new work for the 8th Annual Fundy Artists Art Show & Sale at the Fairmont Algonquin. That show takes place from Wed July 28 to Saturday July 31st - 9am to 9pm daily.

New work from Larissa Blokhuis

We are so excited to have received a box full of goodies from glass artist Larissa Blokhuis.
"Trees" come in sets of three and they are just stunning. Stop by Jarea Art Studio to get yours before they are gone!

Studio Friends...

We are very excited to announce that Cedar Sky (Earthforge) and Juhl Sky (Earth Mama Essentials) will be joining us in the studio this summer!

Fresh and new...

Jarea Art Studio has been spruced up, just in time for the 2010 Summer season. We removed the old counter, moved some things around, did a quick painting touch up, built a workbench and added a new display case. We've also added artist Cedar Sky to our roster. We will be open for Victoria Day weekend and sporadically from that point on until the season gets in full swing.

Here are some recent photos of the studio...

See you soon!
