5 Local Artists Featured!

Our shop is becoming a great place for local artists to display their art. Currently we have 5 people displaying their paintings or photography:

1. Katie Broer. Katie's display of Bessie Dean Parr's photos from the early 1900's has been a hit since the day we opened. Images of the town square and Collierville residents (including a cute little 4 year old Elizabeth Parr) can be seen on our wall an in Katie's book which is for sale at the counter.



2. Arunima Srivastava. Arunima is a native of India, residing in the U.S. since 1997 and Collierville resident sine 2006. With a B.S. in Geology and M.A. in Communication media for Children. She has worked in newspaper, radio, television and the film industry. She takes her inspiration from nature and her native culture for her art.


3. Shane Cato. Shane is displaying several of his photos take around the square and throughout the mid-south. We also have some great postcards of his images available for sale.


4. James Richardson. We met James at the Fair on the Square last weekend and were impressed by his large scale, colorful, nature and travel prints. He was gracious enough to allow us to hang a few in our shop (more to come). He has been photographing and writing about travel destinations for many years and has many excellent prints available on his website at www.jdrichardson.com.


5. Walt Geminn. I have some of my own favorite prints on display as well. These are some photo's taken on various outings that Kelli and I have taken over the years. They hold some great memories for me and I hope you like them as well.
