Melanie Wood Show Opens at Smith Galleries

Smith Galleries is featuring a special showing of new oil paintings by Melanie Wood as part of its anniversary celebration. Mrs. Wood says, “As an eternal optimist, my joy for living infuses every painting with a vibrant, impressionistic style. Painting is the result of my lifelong journey into self-discovery and translating the delights I encounter, both commonplace and extraordinary, into a personal vision for others to enjoy. Working exclusively in oils, I strive to capture on canvas the energy and spontaneity that drive my love for each new day and fuel my imagination, whether it be violet haze over the Tennessee Smoky Mountains, the fields of Provence or courtyards of Sienna, poppies along a garden walk, or a red vase overflowing with sunflowers. “

The show opens on May 1, 2012 at Smith Galleries. The gallery is located in suite J11 of the Village at Wexford on Hilton Head Island, SC. Gallery hours are 10 -6 Monday through Saturday. 800.272.3870

Kovecses Designs Fine Woodworking at Smith Galleries

Smith Galleries is known for fine woodworking and the fine woodworking of Kovecses Designs fits perfectly in the gallery mix.

Judith Neugebauer Jewelry Exhibition Opens at Smith Galleries

A special exhibition of jewelry by Judith Neugebauer opens at Smith Galleries. The exhibition will be on display in the gallery during May and June.

Judith writes..."A previous career in classical ballet and theater instilled within me a deep awareness and appreciation for movement, line and balance. These are the classical qualities I have always tried to incorporate into my jewelry designs...and in my life.

My work is individually fabricated using sterling silver with an overlay of 23K gold leaf. Many pieces also incorporate freshwater pearls and Australian boulder opals set in 22kt gold. Die-formed hollow elements create visual depth, yet the overall concern with lightness and movement remain central to my approach. A recent development has been the use of oxidized, sandblasted sterling silver with 23kt gold leaf to create an even more dramatic surface."

Drop by Smith Galleries to see the exhibition. Gallery hours are 10-6 Monday through Saturday. Or see the exhibition online
