Jim Duff~ Early River Gallery.My Stores Logo About this piece: Don Crowley’s tender portraits of Native American women and children have long been beloved for their gentle realism. “I hope that my work expresses the beauty and dignity of these very special people,” says Crowley. Through his paintings, Crowley’s collectors have watched his Apache subjects, residents of the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona, grow over the years. Evening Light captures the magical light of sunset and twilight on the face of a young Apache maiden. Born in Redlands, California, Don Crowley got started in the world of art at such an early age that he couldn’t remember a time when he wasn’t drawing. During his school years in Santa Ana, he read everything he could about art and spent every spare moment developing his skill. Service in the Merchant Marines and the Navy enabled Crowley to enroll in the Art Center School of Design in Los Angeles under the G.I. Bill. Five years later, he moved to New York and began a successful career in commercial illustration. After more than twenty years in the Northeast, Crowley felt restricted by the narrow range of his commercial work and began to work more extensively in fine art. In 1973, he accepted an invitation to exhibit his paintings at a gallery in Arizona. He was so taken by the area that he decided to continue his career there. With his family, Crowley settled in the Southwest, where he began forging a relationship with a group of Native Americans. Although he is recognized and respected for many different kinds of paintings, he is best known for his sensitive and skilled portraits of these Apache and Paiute women and children. Crowley visits the San Carlos Reservation annually to continue chronicling the lives of his subjects. “I hope that my work expresses the beauty and dignity of these very special people,” he says. Through Crowley’s work, his collectors have watched his subjects grow over the years. Occasionally you’ll see a rare Don Crowley image of a cowboy or a cattle drive, but what he is best known for are handsome, clear portraits of Native American women and children, not to mention their colorful Pendleton blankets. In fact, long-time collectors of his work may see the same subject as both a girl and woman, wearing the colorful, geometric-patterned blanket that was handed down from generation to generation. In 1995, he was elected to the Cowboy Artists of America and, in his first year, won the CA Gold Medal for Drawing. The following year he was awarded four awards: a Gold Medal for Oil, Silver Medal for Drawing, the CA Award and the Kieckhefer Best in Show Award. With customary dry humor, Crowley termed this accomplishment very encouraging. About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.

About this piece: "To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the gudiance of virtue." --Buddha. "The candle is a symbol of light in the spirit," says Christensen. "The candle is about being a example to others, but it is also about keeping that light shining for yourself. Be true to yourself and to the things you know are important and don't let the world taint you." Virtue serves as a classic and elegant reminder to stay true to your beliefs, that faith and strength will see you through the dark times. About The Artist: Inspired by the world's myths, fables and tales of imagination, James C. Christensen wants his work to add up to more than a beautiful - if sometimes "curious" looking work of art. Having taught art professionally for over 20 years, he likes to think of the world as his classroom. His hope is that through whatever he creates-be it a porcelain, fine art print or book-he can convey a message, inspiration or a simple laugh. He believes that teaching people to use their imagination helps us find solutions to sooth the stresses of everyday life-or get a little lift to help us keep going. In short: all things are possible when you share Christensen's philosophy that "Believing is Seeing." Christensen was born in 1942 and raised in Culver City, California. He studied painting at Brigham Young University and, for a while, the University of California at Los Angeles before finishing his formal education at BYU. Since then, he has had one-man shows in the West and the Northeast and his work is prized in collections throughout the U.S. and Europe. The artist has been commissioned by both Time/Life Books and Omni to create illustrations for their publications and his work has appeared in the prestigious American Illustration Annual and Japan's Outstanding American Illustrators. Christensen has also won all the professional art honors the World Science Fiction Convention can bestow, as well as multiple Chesley Awards from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists. Christensen's fine art now appears as works of art in porcelain from The Greenwich Workshop® Collection, artist-inspired products such as note cards, silk ties and several books: A Journey of the Imagination (1994), the adventure fantasy Voyage of the Basset - adapted for television by Hallmark's Odyssey Channel as the Voyage of the Unicorn, Rhymes & Reasons (1997), Parables (written by Robert Millet, 1999), The Personal Illumination Series and The Personal Illumination Journal (2000), a series of interactive journals and A Shakespeare Sketchbook (2001).

The History: On November 12th, 1984, the framing industry would forever change with the establishment of Roma Moulding Inc. Initially catering to the frame and photo supply business, Roma President and original founder John Gareri had a belief that moulding should be more than a decorative border. He envisioned a place where tradition and exquisite design would come together to create something extraordinary. Inspired by his Italian heritage, he shifted the company’s focus and embarked on his first of many trips to Italy where he sought out Italy’s master artisans whose skilled handiwork and careful attention to detail would bring his design visions to life. Made using only the highest quality materials, Roma owes it’s renown to exquisite details: meticulous applications of gold and silver leafing, genuine woods, exotic veneers, patinas, superior lacquers and finishes all done by hand. Roma employs time proven techniques to achieve the stunning finishes other manufacturers strive to achieve. As an industry leader, our designs have become the company’s trademark. Our passion and relentless pursuit of style and excellence has fashioned the “Made in Italy” legacy for which Roma Moulding is recognized industry wide.
