Stella's Artist of the week from Mentor, Ohio

Since we are beginning to grow I thought I'd share bios of our artists. They are pretty cool people! Check them out! Today I am sharing Jodi Baldacci. Here's all about her and examples of her work.


Jodi Baldacci - Artist Jodi Baldacci - Watercolor & Acrylic Paintings, Stained Glass
http://jodibaldacci.com/

Watercolor is Jodi’s primary form of expression.  Her paintings are fresh and filled with expression and feelings.  She has a profound understanding of people.  The viewer is immediately drawn into her rich compositions. Her figures are beautifully rendered, in a simple, direct and natural, gestural manner that reveals her interest in painting inner beauty.

Baldacci is also accomplished in fiber art, acrylic paintings and stained glass work.  With her diverse creativity in both art and writing she has taught classes and workshops for many years.

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.

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
