The Artist Within
313 S Walnut

July’s featured artist at The Artist Within is Anne Maddox.  “Into the Woods” is an exhibit of her watercolors that opens with First Thursday July 3rd from 5-8pm and remains through July 26th.

Anne was born in London, England, but raised in the rural farming community of Kent; a beautiful countryside the English have crowned their ‘Garden of England’. Being reared in such a rich and beautiful environment, it is easy to understand why she is inspired to create such realistic paintings of nature.

The fine details of Ms. Maddox’s creations begin with meticulous drawings and are concluded with the perfect blend of colors that create a ‘realism’ that touches people’s hearts. The underlying theme of all of Anne’s paintings is her spiritual acceptance and honest reflection of true nature. “If there is a flaw in the subject I am portraying, I leave it in. Nature is so beautiful it need not be embellished upon. Inherently, everything in nature is imperfect. We should appreciate the eclectic entity and regard it as perfection in itself”, states Ms. Maddox. With each unique painting, Anne relays her acceptance of reality without tainting the inherent beauty of her own perspective. This philosophy gives each of her creations a living aura that softly whispers; cherish all life for it is truly beautiful.

We hope you will make plans to meet Anne Maddox on First Thursday and enjoy light refreshments and live music by Ole Bohn.

Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co.
224 E Main
Gordy Gallery Celebrates 25 Years

When Genny Gordy walked into the downtown art supply store in 1989, she was looking for a new sketchbook. The store owner, interested in retiring, suggested Gordy might want to buy the whole store. A few weeks later, Genny and Brian Gordy were the new proprietors of Muncie’s only art supply shop, which included picture framing services. The Gordy’s were attracted to the idea of working together, as that is how they first met as BSU art students in the 1970’s. Placed into the same working team in an art education class, the two were engaged by the end of the term. They worked in various art fields – education, interior design, art center director – before landing the “family business,” originally called, “Art Mart.” College friend, Karen Fisher, joined them later, eventually purchasing the art supply portion of the business and making camp in the “Village” area, just east of the Ball State campus.

The Gordy’s ramped up the framing portion of their shop to include antique frame restoration services and historic frame replication. Serious collectors, art museums and artists began to place orders that Brian and Ben Gordy would fill, using centuries-old carving and gilding techniques. Through these efforts and others, the two men were given the distinction of “Indiana Artisan;” the only two awarded for framing in the state. Brian was also honored for his watercolor paintings, including his turtle series.

Meanwhile, Genny Gordy was talking with artists, offering services to promote and stimulate sales of paintings, hand-pulled prints, pottery and jewelry created in the region. Today, over two dozen artists call Gordy Fine Art & Framing their home gallery. Monthly First Thursday events are the standard, and sales still bring a thrill. Says Brian, “We couldn’t have dreamed, all those years ago in college, that one day we’d be in a position to surround ourselves with art and artists, while enjoying the fine craft of picture framing, right in downtown Muncie. So many events and so many people helped put Muncie on the map as an arts destination. Without that foundation, how would we have ever made it to twenty five years in our dream jobs?”

The Gordy’s, and gallery manager, Braydee Euliss, invite artists and patrons to join them on Thursday, July 3, 2014, from 5 to 8 PM for anniversary cake, refreshments and door prizes while viewing the current exhibit, “Summer Invitational: New Modes.”  A short talk will be given at 6:15 PM. Gordy Fine Art & Framing is located downtown at 224 East Main Street, next door to Muncie Civic Theatre. For more information, visit http://www.gordyframing.com, or the Gordy Fine Art & Framing page on Facebook.
