“Dreams of the Carbon Base: Contemporary Sculpture in Glass and More” at the
Jerome Artists’ Cooperative Gallery thru March 2. Mark Galen Lucas is a lamp-worked glass artist, one who uses a table-mounted torch to melt and fuse glass to create his visions. About this process he comments, “I often find myself day dreaming while working the glass rods with the torch. I am fascinated with the effects that heat, gravity and centrifugal forces have on the glass rods.” While forming sculptures, Mr. Lucas is continually thinking, even dreaming, of life and evolution and what the world will be like in the future. “Dreams of the Carbon Base: Contemporary Sculpture in Glass and More” Jerome Artists’ Cooperative Gallery Open Daily 9am-6pm. 502 Main St. Jerome

For all the “Valentines” looking for adventure in Jerome’s Art Walk, Yester Day’s Fine Art Gallery, located in the Lower Main Street Art District in Jerome, will be the place for the beloved, as well as the lovelorn, to meet in this paradoxical month of February. Featured artist Ann Rabago’s life drawings will present–for those hearts who may be uncertain about their “love appeal”–the beauty of the less-than-perfect human form. And for those hearts interested in some mystery, her unfinished still life of Sammy Dean (a local lady-of-the-night murdered in during the 1930’s mining era) will intrigue those art lovers who may question the idea that unrequited love transcends even death, since Dean’s ghost still seems to remain, waiting for her tragic story to be told. Discussion of her all-too-short life and early demise will be presented on the hour during the Art Walk. Also, Yester Day’s atypical fine art gifts, from the antique to the contemporary, are guaranteed to please the complex desires of one’s beloved, no matter what the ghostly atmosphere may be.
Zen Mountain Gallery has a large selection of new jewelry just in time for Valentine’s Day. Please join us for Art Walk with a number of our jewelers in the gallery representing their work.
Gallery 527 features three new pieces by jewelry artist Marian Ward. Marian explains the process, “The silver is fine silver metal clay – formed, fired and polished first. Then I added encaustic wax medium to each pendant. In the colorful, abstract ones, I added 24k gold leaf and a piece of found, rusted metal. In the black and white one, I painted the bamboo using oil paints. In all three sets, the wax was then covered with a clear protective coat of resin.” A few pieces are left from the Brandi Lee Cooper successful January show including a large ceramic masterpiece in the window, inlaid with copper leaf. And abstract artist Julie Bernstein Englemann has a special Valentine’s Day homage titled, Athena. Stop by on February 6th from 5 to 8pm for good art, good conversation and refreshments.
