SUMMARY:Meet the Maker - At Gifts Inn Boonsboro
DESCRIPTION:Some of us just can’t resist stuff that sparkles. Jennifer Strickland\, the featured artist on May 4th\, gets girls like us because she’s one too. That’s why she got into her craft of creating fused art glass. She takes dichroic glass\, which has infused metals\, and uses it to make unique colors\, textures and forms for her shimmering glimmering magical pieces such as jewelry\, nail files with their own sheaths\, pillboxes\, purse holders and bookmarks\, as well as plates so luscious in color and form that you’ll need to display them prominently when not in use. A music teacher by trade\, Jennifer relaxes by firing up her kiln and bringing beauty into the world. She makes glass dance!

SUMMARY:'Destination Inspiration' Watercolor Show At Inn Boonsboro
DESCRIPTION:Gifts Inn Boonsboro is delighted to offer ‘Destination Inspiration’\, an art exhibit by popular local painter Sharon Benoit.\n\nSharon is a fine artist who has worked in the local area for decades\, in the watercolors we know her for best\, but also acrylics and even murals. Her background in pottery and textiles lends her an intimate appreciation of colors\, textures and the tactile nature of art. When you stand in front of one of her pieces\, you not only feel as if you could easily step into it\, you long to do so.\n\nSharon’s evocative landscapes and dreamy vistas show off one facet of her talent\, “Realism is an excellent description of my work. I paint from nature\, the abundance of beauty surrounding me. I love the outdoors\, the rustic charm of century old barns\, the smell of the air while walking next to the ocean in the fall\, or the feel of soft powdery sand of a tranquil beach on my feet. Painting is my way of sharing with you the places I’ve been and the beauty I’ve seen and felt.”\n\nJoin us for a special receptions at Inn Boonsboro on Sunday\, April 21 from 2 – 4 PM.\n\nHer work will be on display until June 3rd and can be view by appointment.\n\nCall us at 301-432-0090 to schedule.

SUMMARY:"That's Not Photography"
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception July 23rd 2 – 4 pm \nThom Davis doesn’t paint with watercolors or oils. He paints in pixels. Starting with a photo of something that catches his fancy\, he begins his transformational process to get the observer to bypass the well-worn story the image usually prompts and look deeper.\nWith a passion that began when he was only eight\, Thom is fascinated by the use of color\, shape\, gesture and mood to elevate photography to a tool that allows us to see past the obvious and attune ourselves to the infinite messages that surround us at all times.\nAs you can imagine\, this makes him an extremely interesting person. Come meet him and begin the journey! \nThom’s work will be on display at Inn BoonsBoro until September 17th. If you are interested in viewing his work\, you can schedule an appointment with the Gifts Inn Boonsboro.

SUMMARY:When the Camera's Close at Hand
DESCRIPTION:Laura Reeth has made her mark in the shop and the Inn with her photographs\, which run the gamut from hauntingly beautiful to surprising and cheerful. We’re thrilled to have corralled her long enough to put together an exhibit for us\, titled When the Camera’s Close at Hand\, on display from October 30 through November 29. \nLaura shares\, “Is a walk a walk without a camera? For me\, a camera is my personal filter to express what I see\, even in the routine and the familiar. \nOver the last decade\, it’s a rare day I set out on a morning walk without at least a smartphone in hand to capture what I see along the way.  I prefer to walk just after sunrise when the world is quiet yet still brimming with anticipation\, moving along regular routes\, almost without thought.  Actually\, that’s not true – I put some thought into the daily decisions:  go right or left?  Toward the sun or away?  Busy street or quiet park?  Each answer partially dictates where I go or what I see. \nSeasons and light and flowers and trees change\, but my feet remember the routes and my eyes seek out something new in the familiar.  Are there clouds or is the sun a stark\, singular light?  Is there reflection?  How does the light affect it? Those questions bundle themselves up tightly until they are part of the instinctive awareness of my surroundings. No concrete answer\, just a looking\, a seeking\, then lifting the camera to capture.  Some days the image is exactly what I saw.  Some days I return home and there’s a surprise in the photo\, a nuance that only comes forward with quiet contemplation. \nI share what I see in the routine and familiar with the hope that it brings the viewer a sense of calm\, and perhaps a small drop of early morning anticipation in seeing what’s around the next corner.” \nWe can’t wait to see either\, Laura! \n

SUMMARY:Artful Journey
DESCRIPTION:Linda Barnhart has been a staple in the shop for many years\, yet her appeal never wanes. We are proud to represent her and very excited to present her Artful Journey exhibit\, which will be showcased at the shop from September 19th through October 25th. \nShe tells us\, “Inspired by a variety of other artists\, I love to experiment to see how far I can push my work.  My first love is oil paint\, but I enjoy adventuring in different styles and mediums such as acrylic paint and encaustic (hot wax) as well as cold wax.  I also mix media and have even used real spider webs in some of my paintings. Subject matter is extremely broad. However\, I also desire to represent human emotion as the subject of a painting finding it difficult to ignore the human condition.” \nLinda has won an impressive slew of awards and remains one of our most popular artists.

SUMMARY:Powerful Beauties: Heroines\, Historic Women and Survivors
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nLea Craigie-Marshall learned art from her mother and grandmother in the mountains of West Virginia. These lessons\, infused with natural beauty and indomitable female strength\, shimmer through in her powerful\, dynamic\, vibrantly feminist art. From dreamy figurative portraits to surrealistic landscapes to socio-economic and civil rights political pieces\, she provokes deeply visceral reactions. Her passionate belief that we should face our time’s toughest struggles with fire and courage informs her beautifully composed artworks\, sparking a spectrum of strong emotions. These works are created with techniques unique to her\, including oils\, resins\, papers and acrylics. Woven through them all are her ethereal soulfulness and startling honesty. Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/giftsinnboonsboro  for more details about our exhibit. We are incredibly proud and honored to feature Lea’s exquisitely expressive art at GIB. Currently on display through September 14th.

SUMMARY:GIRLS' NIGHT OUT
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nYou know spring is here when the wildlife of Boonsboro begins to prowl\, and no life is as wild as our local gals! It’s time for nibbles\, bubbly\, door prizes\, laughter\, games and fun in the fresh spring evening air!\nWe have a double-delightful lineup for you at GIB\, starting with Sarah Amendola of Mockingbird Lane Artistries and her fantasy jewelry of stone\, metal and Tiffany Technique stained glass. She layers silver solder over copper\, creating an environmentally safe (big deal to us Bellas!) solder consisting of tin\, copper and silver. Each piece is hand-polished and coated to keep the metal shiny. Her work is dreamy\, romantic\, surprising\, and occasionally deliciously nightmarish.\nWe’re also thrilled to bits to introduce an artist new to the shop but a longtime favorite in the area\, Melissa Lettick\, better known as The Herb Lady. Her pure and natural potpourris and fragrance oils are legend\, using only real flowers and herbs with their natural colors and fragrances\, never dyed or plumped up with fillers like wood chips. You can match oils to your potpourri or be your own alchemist and try different oils with certain potpourris and see what results you get. Some oils are excellent as personal fragrances and Melissa can help you find one that suits your own unique self.\nWith these fun\, creative\, fascinating artists and our bonkers staff on hand to keep the energy stirred up (mischief in Marcella’s case) you know this will be THE place to be on GNO. We can’t wait to see you!

SUMMARY:"Talisman" Rhonda J. Smith Opening Reception January 30th 5:00 - 8:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nRhonda Smith\, an artist and retired Professor of Art from Shepherdstown University\, comes to her creations from odd angles. Her intaglio and Lino prints are impressed onto archival paper through an intricate process of slathering plates with non-toxic inks and over-printing them\, a process as unexpected and exciting as the travels that prompted it. She is fascinated with talismans\, charms for invoking luck and protection. Whether the journey is literal\, artistic or self-discovery\, the knowledge\, experience and surprises all become part of who we are and contribute to more complex being who comes home. Rhonda believes that art demands that both artist and viewer share a quest to find understanding in the art piece\, and that the art itself is a talisman\, a wish\, a prayer that connects the creator and the observer.\nThe Talismans Exhibition will open with a reception at GIB on Thursday January 30th from 5-8 (snow date February 20th)\, with the artwork on display until February 29th. Save the date now to see these evocative\, thought-provoking pieces and their delightful creator\, while enjoying champagne and light refreshments.

DESCRIPTION:Spring fever has the GIB staff leaping around like mad March hares\, because we all know what spring in Boonsboro means- GIRLS’ NIGHT OUT!!!\nThis one is going to be a doozy even by our standards\, and we’ve come to expect some pretty rockin’ GNOs. For starters\, we’re going to be joined by the delightful Charissa Hip\, aka HippHikerGal\, who heads up the local group of Girls Who Hike(www.girlswhohike.net/ ). This is a nationally recognized organization based here in the US\, designed to connect women with other women for companionship\, fun\, shared learning and safety on the trails. It’s free to join- go to the closed Facebook communities for folks who identify as female at www.facebook.com/groups/girlswhohikemd/ and request membership. Charissa established the Maryland chapter in January 2018 and it already has more than 500 members. She’s warm\, friendly and fun and you will love her as much as we do.\nAnd since Charissa has everyone fired up about getting outside and enjoying the stunning beauty of our local countryside. \nAmbassor – Girls’ Who Hike \nwe’re excited to host James Harris from Beaver Creek Fly Shop\, the area’s premier full service fly fishing resource. The restorative benefits of fly fishing have been well attested for a long time now\, and we women are ready to elbow the boys aside and claim our place in our region’s creeks and rivers. James will teach us about basic entomology (ie\, all about bugs)\, knots\, rods and reels\, and why fly fishing is so much more complex and yet meditative than plain old fishing. We’re also tickled to pieces to have our old friend Don Fine here\, demonstrating how tie your own flies\, or to sell you his beautiful custom ones.\nEvery gal who shows up to receive casting instruction (out back on our lovely patio) will also receive a one time in-store discount at the Fly Shop.\nAnd of course\, we’ll have champagne and nibbles and laughter and our wacky staff\, and most important of all\, the treasures! Take a moment and fill out a wish list while you’re here- we’ll keep it handy to share with that special someone who wants to give you your heart’s desire and knows just where to find it. \n \n

SUMMARY:New works by local artists Jannon Baer & Sharon Benoit
DESCRIPTION:Waking Dreams by Jannon Baer and True to Life by Sharon Benoit \n Inspire both the left and right sides of your brain with this explosive art exhibit by two equally brilliant but very different painters. Jannon’s abstracts spark sheer delight in the imagination\, while Sharon’s detailed idylls evoke memories of quiet bliss. \nWorks from these local artists will be on display at Inn Boonsboro\, open to the public on April 6th from 1-3. Come meet the artists and enjoy the beauty of their craft against the spectacular backdrop of the Inn. \nAcrylic Painting by Jannon Baer \nJannon is a visual artist with a passion for dance. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Painting from Shepherd University. As a freelance painter\, Jannon has displayed artwork in Baltimore and Western Maryland. Recent exhibitions have included the Himmelfarb Gallery at Maryland University for Integrative Health (formerly Tai Sophia) of Laurel\, Sunlight Natural Health of Timonium\, Expanding Heart Center Gallery of Frederick\, Regenerate Float Center of Hagerstown\, and Washington County Arts Council Gallery. Jannon enjoys combining meditative practices with dance as an offering for healing and to embrace rich traditions of cultural art forms. Jannon is a member of Hagerstown Artists Group\, a local art organization which works to connect local artists to share ideas and positively impact the community through the arts. Jannon has been an in-home companion for the elderly for the past year. Within the past year\, she has teamed up with local drum facilitators from Frederick to offer dance movement for residents in local assisted living centers. \nWatercolor Painting by Sharon Benoit \nSharon Benoit has migrated up the coast from the lower Eastern Shore\, through her study at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in the Smoky Mountains\, to Frederick Community College\, and has landed in Knoxville MD with her family\, in easy reach of the Potomac. Her passion is watercolors\, but she has also studied commercial illustration\, acrylics\, wearable art\, 2&3 dimensional stitchery\, weaving\, batik\, tie-dy\, cast & applique jewelry\, polymer clay and stoneware pottery. Her detailed watercolors have won top awards at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts\, the Great Frederick Fair\, and the Salisbury Institute for Art\, and she has exhibited at a dozen local venues. She tells us that she describes her work simply as ‘realism’. Being outdoors in farm country\, or walking by her beloved Potomac River\, or enjoying the beaches of her youth\, is where she finds her inspiration.

SUMMARY:Wood Carving Demo with Craftsman Steve Ramsey
DESCRIPTION:As part of our ongoing celebration of National Craft Month we’re welcoming local wood artist Steve Ramsey of Carve Diem. He’ll be here from 1-3\, demonstrating his carving skills. \nSteve Ramsey has always been a hands-on DIY guy who likes the feeling of accomplishment achieved from doing a great job with his own hands. So it’s not surprising that\, after seeing a carved primitive in an antique store\, he thought\, “Hey\, I can do that!” and did. He taught himself to carve small pieces\, which evolved into bigger\, more complicated ones\, and now he uses a lathe as well as his hand tools. He likes to use locally-sourced woods\, and he grooves on people loving the perfectionism he pours into each piece. In addition to beautiful rustic bowls and spoons\, Steve makes holiday ornaments\, live-edge tables\, repairs beloved family pieces and even takes special requests.
