More from Stella's Art Gallery's Artist of the Week, Debbie Morich, from Mentor Ohio

Good day everyone! I hope this message finds you well. Here are three more of Debbie Morich's art. Today, her artwork brings me a piece of sunshine on this rainy morning in Cleveland, Ohio.

I love her color choices, so bright and vibrant! My favorite is the Peacock, which one is yours?

The Next Stella's Artist of the week is Debbie Orlando Morich from Mentor, Ohio.

Folk Artist Debbie Orlando Morich found her joy when she began to paint. With a Master’s of Education in College Student Personnel and a life-long appreciation of art in all its forms, she considers this calling to be a “happy accident.” In mid-2009, Debbie’s world was forever changed when she was diagnosed with a very rare cancer of the appendix, which had already spread throughout her abdomen. While recovering from what is known as the “mother of all surgeries,” she began exploring art to assist in the healing process.

 Debbie’s intention is to evoke joy and healing in others through inspirational paintings. She loves to use re-claimed surfaces such  as  wood scraps and discontinued wallpaper or metal trays as her canvas. There is a special beauty in bringing a new spark of      freshness to the worn-out pieces of our lives. In gratitude for all who gave her a new energy for healing, she commits to praying intentionally for all who are moved by her art.

Here are the pictures I promised! Stella's Art Gallery at Gionino's in Mentor on the Lake, Ohio

I'm impressed! The Gionino's Pizzeria looks great! When I went there on Monday to hang the art they were so busy getting the place together that I just dropped off the art and decided to go today. Well...when I arrived THEY hung all the art! It looks beautiful! I tried my best to take photos but the lighting was a bit challenging. So I guess if you can not see the art well, you might want to see it in person. If you do, enjoy a pizza while you are there! It's delicious! They are now open for business.

EXCITEMENT BREWING in Mentor on the Lake Ohio

I'm very excited to go see out artwork at Gionino's Pizzeria today. I will take pictures and post them here as soon as I can! I'm also looking forward to eating some good pizza!

Stella's Art and Red, Wine, and Brew in Mentor Ohio Holds First Art Class March 26th!

Words according to Andrew Jeffries, an artist and musician from Mentor, Ohio.

As I develop our art gallery, Stella's Art Gallery in Lake County Ohio, I thought it would be a good idea for the viewers to get to know some of our local artists. I asked our team if they would be willing to share their thoughts. One fine gentleman said ABSOLUTELY...

So here he is...I gladly introduce Andrew Jeffries, a block print artist.


An artist's perspective: Right now making art is all about looking for images that add to
a person's daily experience. And the images we surround ourselves with have a way of helping
to provide a central reference point for our lives, don't they? For example, the good people of Fairport Harbor have made the lighthouses a part of their identity. And there are other buildings
in this area that are very prominent features of our cities. Buildings are sentinels in a city.
They function to provide places of work, worship and entertainment. And just like a favorite wrench in a toolbox or a favorite utensil in a kitchen, they are given identities because we rely on them often.

A series about Lake County buildings seemed to make sense because it shows the world who we are and is a good reminder for us, too.

 - Andrew Jeffries, Block-print Artist

Thank You Andrew!
You can see his Lake County Buildings series at Shoppe in the City in Painesville, Ohio and on our website www.StellasArtGallery.com
