The result is a captivating, soothing, ethereal, and abstract image that is absolutely stunning. Each one is an original- only produced once in it's size, and is masterfully framed behind museum glass. Her one of a kind and highly distinctive artwork will be on display at august and is the inspiration and cornerstone for our spring body of work. The artist accepts commissions for pieces up to 35" X 51", but has received several commissions for her <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">triptychs</span> which span 9ft when hung. It is our tremendous honor to represent this fine artist whose work is nationally known and highly collectible. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Please visit her website: </span><a href="http://www.chrisdahlquist.com/"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">http://www.chrisdahlquist.com/</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">.</span></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div>Christel Highlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16442972669688055844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782669694526993994.post-67938150576406083612010-04-13T19:50:00.000-07:002010-05-01T13:51:51.889-07:00Reilly Hoffman- a young sculptor setting the standards high in the KC art scene.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUbpkahCV3KP6D_3a5uZ5N5muyZHJg9to-WKN6OUnbSlnOSaEdE8m6CjHaFcognlJtWwJsho9PPDj9xAYUGFZzG-TUNbWZEXYkOHJ638xHZPDhlgLd9OaSO6eiquuLRpsPI3OiEKmFOnIu/s1600/kc+mag+arts+issue.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466040126340200818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUbpkahCV3KP6D_3a5uZ5N5muyZHJg9to-WKN6OUnbSlnOSaEdE8m6CjHaFcognlJtWwJsho9PPDj9xAYUGFZzG-TUNbWZEXYkOHJ638xHZPDhlgLd9OaSO6eiquuLRpsPI3OiEKmFOnIu/s320/kc+mag+arts+issue.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha5PU-t3FxP_2ibmVURj526Fyff3RFpVpvowPJCoC1b0U99tLjdkwy9mARrLLyBE9VIh3BX0t5VsV3uFrwNmWLkyu-hCCwxC12ScYjE-HfNcxuoX4mRAUexdfF8Pf4EBtouiHZfUzgVch-/s1600/reilly+hoffman+piece.jpg"></a><br /><em>Transfiguration of St. Bartholomew- </em>part of the 2009 Avenue of the Arts placed at the foot of the new performing arts center as featured in the August issue of KC Mag.
