Description
JP and Christine Garner, professional artists who are showing at Art On A Whim Gallery the weekend of January 9-11, are no strangers to Breckenridge. They moved to the high mountains of Colorado from the low mountains of North Carolina in 1990. They Opened a gallery called ?Great Things West? in Reliance Place on Main Street in November of that year. The couple uses steel to express their creativity. They bend and shape steel into interesting forms and paint the shapes with enamels and acrylics, texturing them to sometimes appearing like fabric to make the piece come alive. Chris and J.P. use a variety of materials and technics to create their product. Some pieces incorporate metallic leaf, stained glass, dichroic glass and pottery to add to the beauty and texture in their artform. Their pieces range from small to large in size. This is a show that is a must to see.
