Smith Galleries features Sticks Furniture and Accessories

     Smith Galleries is the premier gallery in South Carolina to feature Sticks furniture from the fabulously talented American artist, Sara Grant.
     Sticks was started by Sarah in 1992. Since then, Sticks has received national acclaim for our distinctive line of furniture, accessories and object art. The company began by designing smaller items such as ornaments and candlesticks, and has evolved to feature larger items such as dining sets, beds and armoires. Each piece is handcrafted within Sticks’ award winning studio in Des Moines, Iowa. All pieces are finely crafted from birch, poplar and driftwood. The pieces are further designed with hand drawn imagery, etched contouring and vibrantly blended paint. Pieces can be embellished with 3-D wood components, metal, leather and fabric. The line is constantly evolving due to the imagination of the design team and the many talented craft artisans that they employ. Every piece that they produce can be personalized to feature themes, imagery or colors that you desire.

Paintings by John & Elli Milan are featured at Smith Galleries on Hilton Head

Original Mixed Media Painting on Paper by John & Elli Milan at Smith Galleries #157951, a photo by Smith Galleries on Flickr.

      The paintings of John and Elli Milan are featured in a special 24th Anniversary Exhibition of paintings on paper at Smith Galleries on Hilton Head, SC.
     John and Elli Milan met in Hawaii while Elli was still in high school and John was "beach bumming". Deciding early to make a career as artists, they enrolled at Savannah College of Art and Design and later transferred to the University of Georgia where they received their BFA in painting. It was in this small, but vital city, that the couple developed personal styles and began showing their work in local galleries.
     After graduation the couple worked independently but began dreaming about working together. Today, they live their dream and the Milans create their paintings together. Although John and Elli are both accomplished artists on their own, this collaboration brings out a side of their work that neither could reach by themselves. The couple says that the Spirit of God inspires their work and allows them to create together and maintain a unified vision. The end result is aggressive and spontaneous layers of paint which create a bright and playful scenario that is interwoven with hints of narrative.
     Smith Galleries is located in the Village at Wexford on Hilton Head at mile marker 10.5 on William Hilton Parkway. The gallery is open year round from 10-6 Monday through Saturday. Call 800.272.3870 for additionl information.

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
