It’s A Creative Spring at The Flying Pig

“The Kirst’s” by Bruce Bodden.

Feverishly hanging artwork, displaying jewelry, unboxing goods, and placing sculpture, it is spring at The Flying Pig. Co-owners Susan Connor and Robyn Mulhaney are more excited than any other year. In addition to representing national and international artists, the gallery has expanded its efforts to include more local and regional artists.

The metalwork, stoneware, porcelain, oils, pastels, and acrylics of the current artists are now paired with new creations using precious metal clay, hand-dyed fabric, re-purposed steel, and found objects.

Jewelry by Joy Kruse.
