Featured Artist July/August 2018:
My Mother's Garden - Nature/Nurture
by Sarah Simmons
|
Please join us here at the gallery on Saturday, July 14th for the Opening Reception of From Mother's Garden; Nature/Nurture by artist Sarah Simmons. Included in this exhibit are photographs from the artist's Bookgarden along with mixed media sculptures and a window installation inspired by the Bookgarden. Meet the artist and savor her art while you enjoy free refreshments from 3pm - 6pm.
In September of 2016, Sarah Simmons began growing her Bookgarden by stacking and shelving over 800 discraded books along with hemlock logs, dirt, rocks and bulbs in a 1000 square foot outdoor area in Moon Township, Pennsylvania. Simmons has continued to cultivate the Bookgarden with additional plants and books, creating a spot for mushrooms, native plants, insects and other creatures to make their home. Simmons has documented her Bookgarden with almost daily photographs @inyourclutches on Instagram. From Mother's Garden: Nature/Nurture features 28 photographs of the Bookgarden captured between March 2017 through March 2018. Included in the exhibit are mixed media sculptures containing paper harvested from the Bookgarden as well as other salvaged paper from books, discarded fabric and found objects. These sculptures investigate what happens to our words when we leave them out in the elements. Do they grow and florish? Do they decay? Are they being protected? What impact do these words have on the people who encounter them? Words and ideas can multiply and mature or erode and decay depending on the type of nurturing they receive and the nature with which they are planted. This exhibit is a continuation of Sarah Simmons' work with text and found objects. Simmons is a member of the Pittsburgh Society of Sculptors and West Hills Art League. Her work has been exhibited at Sweetwater Center for the Arts, Westmoreland Museum of American Art as well as the Renew Festival and other various Pittsburgh venues. Don't miss this delightful and whimsical exhibit on view until August 30th. |

Essential Oils For Health and Wellness
|
Instructor: Christine Swann
July 25th 10am - noon Free* Essential Oils have been the most significant thing that has helped my family regarding health issues. I would love to share our discoveries with you. This class will teach you how to start using oils and how to apply them. We will mix a few oils to take home to try, like a safe cleaner you will want to breath in and that kills germs better than Lysol! You will also mix an amazing remedy for sleep and a sugar scrub for skin that you can design with lavender and rose petals. Take home a bunch of recipes, too! |

About Gilberti Fine Art
In early 2016 after packing up her artwork from an exhibit on Fifth Avenue in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, Artist Cindy Gilberti, decided there was a lack of art presence in town. Inspired by the beautification and renovation of the Coraopolis train station and nearby businesses, she felt the need to create a venue where artists and aspiring artists could have a place to go and learn various mediums.
As former President of West Hills Art League, Cindy made many connections with regional artists and it has become her goal to bring these artists together while also creating a personal studio for herself. Gilberti Fine Art was born.
