Sarka Evans lived in Prague, Czech Republic, a city full of art and history,  during the first half of her life.In 2015, she retired after spending 41 years in the field of clinical psychology, and began to devote her free time to pursue art.Evans started with stained glass, making multiple large stained glass window panels and Tiffany lamps, and gradually metamorphosed into glass and stone mosaics.The artist hand cuts and places each piece of glass and stone to create beautiful mosaics.She includes not only glass and stones, but also driftwood, tree bark, and clay.Evans’ studio is a sunroom in her house in Door County, Wisconsin, creating peace and beauty in each marvelous piece.More of Sarka Evan’s handmade mosaics can be found at https://plumbottomgallery.com/collections/sarka-evans.

 

 

Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Carl Peverall

~ humoringthegoddess ~ 17 Comments

Carl Peverall has always been a stone gatherer.

Even on backpacking trips, where the weight of everything has to be considered, Carl is unable to resist bringing heavy stones back home.

Stones are arranged in balance with minimal alteration to a point of resolve, then fixed permanently by invisibly drilling and anchoring with steel.

  Peverall sees stone as a profoundly alluring medium, and his search for the right rocks is tireless.What Perevall hopes to do is connect the material with some sort of visual poetry. He is drawn by the opportunity to give ancient, silent stones, wrought over millions of years, a special chance to ground viewers in their near immortal beauty and soulful presence.
