The "Dear Fleisher" 4 x 6 pieces of art event was a huge success. Chris and I attended the artist preview on October 4th at 10 am and we were blown away by the sheer amount of talent we saw! As soon as we walked through the doors into the gallery, all we saw was color, color, and more color. Overall it was a stunning sight, then when we got close enough to see all the individual pieces it was even more amazing. Artists from every genre under the sun submitted work. At the actual event on October 5th at 4 pm, we personally bought 2 acrylic Hummingbird paintings by Hunter Clarke (www.hunterartist.com) who is represented in LaPelle Gallery in Philadelphia, two of Lucartha Kohler's cast glass leaves (for those of you who do not know, Lucartha taught me how to not only cast glass, but also fuse and slump it too-I owe her a great debt of gratitude. She was the only other glass artist who submitted to the gallery besides me. Her website is www.lucarthakohler.com), and also a very beautiful oil painting by Frederic Kaplan that we fell in love with (www.kaplanpicturemaker.com). The event raised over $55,000. for the school! The photos above are pulled from the artists' websites and are not the particular pieces we bought, but it will give you a feel for each artist's work.
