Need a new calendar to keep track of the days to come? Grab one of John Ashley's Glacier Park After Dark calendars that are not only full of his beautiful (and award winning) night time photography but also includes interesting scientific facts, details on events through the year that you might want to take a peak at!  (Did you know there is going to be a solar eclipse in August this year?!)








If you're looking to keep yourself warm in style, pour some cocoa or your favorite hot drink into one of Cheryl's or Joanna's beautiful mugs!






Or if wrap yourself up in a beautiful hand made quilt from Monique.  Who says that art can't also be functional!



While you're visiting be sure to check out our newest Guest Artist: Ron Kelly

Ron developed this decorative and pictorial mosaic style by laying precious and exotic materials into or onto a ground-work of solid wood. the intarsia wood decoration method dates back to the fifteenth century Germany and Italy, where the ancient art of intarsia was first used to create beautiful works of art from wood, inspiring both marquetry and inlay. Ron combines these past methods of art design with wood color and grain to produce the desired effect, adding a three dimensional element to each of his wildlife creations. Each art piece is an original design using color, grain of wood and style to create a unique wood masterpiece.

Guest Artist: Beckie Evins

We are very excited to announce a new Guest Artist program at Paint Metal and Mud.  Invited artists will be featured in one of our main windows and offered the chance to have an artist reception at the gallery. 



Our first guest artist is the talented Beckie Evins.  Her beautiful bronzes and illustrations are known for their realistic nature and astute observation of muscle and bone structure, as well as showcasing her love of horses and wildlife.  Having drawn and worked with clay since childhood her work has also been influenced from assisting her husband for several years in his taxidermy work. 

Beckie lives at the foot of Terriault Pass South of Eureka and enjoys the scenery and outdoors as well as her many neighbors of deer, turkeys, geese and other wandering wildlife.

Be sure to stop in and see Beckie Evins gorgeous work during the Month of March!
