Verona, New Jersey (McKenzieNewsService.com) April 14, 2014 – Experience Essex County’s Verona Park transformed into a gallery of fine art and fine craft on May 17-18 from 10-5, rain or shine. The 29th Annual Fine Art and Crafts at Verona Park show www.rosesquared.com/verona-nj-may-17-18-2014.html (542 Bloomfield Avenue, Verona) will over feature over 140 veteran as well as new exhibitors to Rose Squared Productions, Inc., including fine art, sculpture, photography, jewelry, pottery, woodwork, glass, clothing and much more.
In clay, the show welcomes new exhibitor Terry Simijis of Cranston, RI who, inspired by the art of ancient civilizations and the beauty of nature, finds the creative process very satisfying: “When I touch a piece of clay I never know exactly what will be the outcome. A rough but sensible form appears in minutes out of nowhere, and I enjoy this very first stage of the design. Then I take my time to refine the form to arrive at the sculpture it becomes,” says Terry.
Olga Goldin
Veteran clay artist, Olga Goldin of Reistertown, MD finds her sculptural ceramics becoming larger in scope and more detailed than in past years. All of Goldin’s pieces, made by hand from low-fire porcelain clay, are hand painted with an added glazed finish and her signature 24k gold accent. As one-of-a-kind work, Goldin can incorporate the images of customer’s in her custom sculptural creations.
