Front of Store  It is already July 15!!!!  Slainte Thursday is just 2 days away.  We will be featuring our Meet the Artist Event.  It promises to be a wonderful evening.  Rocco Pisto will be here painting and Michael Tizzano will be here working on a sculpture of a dancer.  We will also feature the band Restless Blend.

 Ballerina By Michael Tizzano
Michael Tizzano

 Michael Tizzano, an Ohio native, is primarily known for his figurative sculptures depicting dancers and children. His love for sculpture grew out of his experiences as a child attending religious services, where he recalls an early interest in the church's sanctuary of sculpted saints and angels. He recalls his first sculpture, that of a horse carved of plaster and vermiculite, that he was awarded a red ribbon for at the Columbus Museum of Art's Saturday Arts Program, a the age of six.  To read more about Michael and to see one of his pieces click here...Michael Tizzano

Rocco Pisto
Rocco Pisto has been painting for over 35 years, working mainly in abstract watercolor media.  With a Bachelor in Fine Arts from Eastern Michigan University, as well as some Masters work along the way,  a passion for the process of painting has always been a part of Rocco's life.  Such abstract expressionist icons as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning have inspired Rocco;  but his greatest influence was his long time mentor and confidante Kingsley Calkins.  King was the head of the art department at Eastern Michigan University from 1960-1979, and his lyrical and whimsical work had a strong effect on Rocco.  To see more of Rocco's work visit our website at www.netswhim.com or click here...Rocco Pisto.

 Man Thinking by Bonnie Mahan
Bonnie Mahan was raised by a single hippie mother, which she relates as always interesting.  Bonnie's mother nurtured her need to be creative.  Through her mother's eyes she saw things a bit more differently and vividly.  During her childhood she moved around the country and from the different places that she lived she took elements that have shaped her not only as a person but as an expressive artist. To read more about Bonnie's work click Bonnie Mahan.
