Dawn of a New Day - Susan Hribernik
Susan Hribernik is a self-taught artist from Mocksville, North Carolina, who grew up in Richmond,Va. Over time she has developed her style in colored pencil drawings created with the use of Prismacolor colored pencils. The inspiration for her work comes from the emotion and the place in her life felt at the time of creation of the picture. Hribernik has also developing a niche for photography leading to photo manipulation and graphic art. She has worked progressively for more than ten years in both these mediums. You can see more of her work at http://igguana578.deviantart.com or follow her on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150369863382485.378019.102999992484&type=1

Lula, Hand Carved Relief by Gia Labidi ($225, SALE $160).
Life Signs - Gia Labidi
"My work is more about the creative process and less about the finished pieces–the finale. I enjoy the creative process and I create art across several visual mediums utilizing wood and clay as the primary mediums, found objects, fabric and paint as tools. In working with wood and clay I usually have no plan. I’ve done no sketching. I have no idea how the piece will end. Each piece starts with a strong desire to do it, to make something happen, to say something or nothing at all. I manipulate the pieces pounding, pulling and pushing until I feel something—anything. I look to the materials, the hardwood and moist clay, to tell me what they want to be, how they want to come together. I love to see wood and clay take shape. It’s as if the pieces of hardwood and moist clay are waiting for me to reveal what is hidden within--unique curves, smooth ends and secret places. There is something about the affect of sandpaper on wood and smooth stones on semi-moist clay that move me to state of primal clarity. Through the manipulation of these materials, I create art that celebrates life with a focus on the divine feminine in nature." http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150170054207485.309333.102999992484&type=1
