Diana W. Tripp joins us from the bountiful natural beauty that is Colorado.  This passionate artist has found her creative home in the world of pastels.  Arts That Work is thrilled to offer Diana’s inspired  still life pastels, including fruit that looks good enough to eat, to bring your kitchen to life!  

Joni Armel presents her fine ink renderings of kitchen art--chefs, waitresses and loads of other fun characters to enliven any mundane wall or restaurant.  This lighthearted art is high quality and springs forth from the gifted hand of a happy soul. 

The animated, blissful energy of Middle Eastern folk art is lovingly conveyed in Sam Barakat’s “Falafel” series.  This inspired series of acrylic on canvas paintings highlights the fragrant symphony of spirited pleasures that embrace the creation, sharing and enjoyment of culinary delights in Sam’s native Egypt.  Enhance your home and kitchen with the vibrant love for life and laughter portrayed in these colorfully joyous offerings. 

Kimm Collinsworth graces Arts That Work with her delightful “wired” art, including stainless steel serving sets, adding a touch of creativity and originality to your kitchen and your home.  Check out Kimm’s "wired" teaspoons and chop sticks, as inventive as they are useable.  Kimm uses aluminum wire to hand-wrap her energetic swirls onto kitchen items, raising them to the level of art.  The artist infuses natural gemstones and lampwork art glass onto her pieces, making happy compositions to enliven your home. No glue or other adhesive is used in the creation of Kimm’s art.  Her offerings are lead free, acid free and kid friendly.  They also make incredible gifts!  Hand washing is recommended. 

Frank Rodgers joins Arts That Work from western Pennsylvania, where he crafts incredibly unique hand thrown pottery to bless your home with the loving, positive energy of original art.  Frank’s work is food, microwave and dishwasher safe and will not harm plants or flowers with heavy metal toxic based glazes.  Check back often for Frank’s newest offerings as his creative juices are always flowing!
