One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is taking time to carefully select special gifts for the important people in my life. It’s a chance to show just how much they mean to me and give them something that represents our unique relationship.
I often gravitate towards art for gifts because it’s so evocative, has depth of meaning, and it’s something they will cherish for years to come. The moment of joy when they open the gift becomes a legacy of joy as they smile each time they see the artwork displayed in their home. Coming up to the holiday season, I look out for art that represents memories I’ve made with the special people in my life that year as a token of my love, care and gratitude.
So, I’m excited to be part of the Fine Art Smalls Holiday Collection at ALG Fine Art. This brings together small, meaningful and magical art from a variety of artists that would make wonderful gifts. Let me run through my pieces in the collection.
Hugs
My “Hugs” are hand-made sculptures, each uniquely expressing the warmth and comfort of embracing your loved ones. Who have you gotten closer to this year? Who has been a pillar of support during bumpy times? Who would you like to hug every day? This is a special gift for them.
Harmony
My “Harmony” series is all about finding balance as the light and shadows bounce off the thrown, hand-cut and fused glass pieces. It’s a very exclusive series with only 8 made. Who has helped you find balance this year? Who do you want to celebrate for being one-of-a-kind? Gift them a piece of harmony.
Angel Wings
Uplift your loved ones with “Angel Wings.” This hand-cut and fused glass piece makes a wonderful festive decoration and an all-year reminder of the hope and joy you get from your closest relationships. Who do you want to give a boost to? Who do you want to see fly? Get them a pair of angel wings.
Paris Minded
Take the excitement and romance of travelling home with “Paris Minded.” Inspired by my own travels around France, this series uses a fusion of thrown glass and lucite print to capture the wonder of exploring new places. Who did you travel with this year? Who always has their mind on their next adventure? “Paris Minded” is a great way to celebrate your memories with them.
Floating Blooms
Flowers have long been a symbol of love and appreciation. These flowers will last a lifetime. The bright colors light up a room and provide joy all year round. Who do you know who loves flowers? Who do you know who can never keep plants alive? This is a great gift for both of them!
I hope this has helped you to make progress with your holiday shopping! You can see the whole Fine Art Smalls Holiday Collection from ALG Fine Art on their website or in person. As well as my own artwork, there is artwork from my fellow Resident Artist, Christi Meril and pieces from the poet who inspired this year’s Visiting Artists Show, J.K. Kennedy. Happy gifting!
