More than 100 artists from all over the Midwest will gather at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park this weekend for the seventh annual Pyramid Hill Art Fair.
“Attendees will witness live art demonstrations and have the chance to purchase world class art direct from the artists,” said spokesperson Terry Dillon.
While many of the artists have become staples of the event, the Art Fair has attracted a number of first-time exhibitors, too.
Batavia-based painter Shannon Godby came to last year’s event as a spectator, but found it enough to his liking that he’ll be exhibiting his “nature-inspired abstract paintings.”
“I’m also an avid photographer, and many of my works come from the photos I’ve taken,” he said. “They’ll start out fairly realistic, but then I abstract them as I go along.”
Cincinnati artist Karen Cowden has been working double-time the past few weeks preparing her embellished tableware for her second year at the Pyramid Hill Art Fair.
She and a friend started embellishing plates and service settings about eight years ago, she said, after seeing similar products in a store. They start with plain plates, glasses and silverware and use beads, wire and other craft materials to create unique designs.
“People pretty much fall in love with it,” she said.
Other exhibitors include:
> Classic Copper by Don Persinger of Lancaster, Ohio, who creates his own unique design of copper wind sculptures.
> Kiln Fired Glass by Deborah Lewis of New Vienna, Ohio, who uses the process of fusing glass into functional, decorative piece of art.
> Smithacus Art & Design, a partnership between Stephen Smith and Jennifer Acus-Smith of Hamilton, who create customized pet portraits, striving to create vibrant and expressive artworks that focus on color while capturing the the personality of the subject.
> Totally Twisted, jewelry by Jennifer Nye of Hamilton, who creates work of sterling silver or 14k gold-filled adorned with stones and handmade beads. She also makes heirloom-quality rosaries.
Local vendors will provide food for purchase. Live entertainment and activities are planned for children.
