Springs Gallery Presents Tom Hawley and Doug Fiely
Springs Gallery in Yellow Springs is pleased to present the functional and decorative fine craft of wood artist Tom Hawley of Yellow Springs, OH, and the fine art prints and paintings of Doug Fiely of Stryker, OH. The exhibit runs October 14 through December 14, 2011, with an opening reception on Friday, October 14, 2011, from 6 to 9 pm. The reception coincides with Yellow Springs’ twice-a-year Art Stroll, with later gallery and shop hours, live music, and other festivities throughout the Village. Both the exhibit and the reception are free and open to the public.
Wood artist Tom Hawley, of Yellow Springs, is a graphic designer turned woodworker. He has been working in wood since 2006, creating sculptures, bowls and clocks that highlight the beauty of the wood. His sculptures and clocks often suggest flight. He is both a turner and a sculptor, usually working with naturally felled trees, many of which are from Ohio.
Painter Doug Fiely, of Stryker, Ohio, has both a master’s degree in printmaking and a bachelor’s degree in art education from Bowling Green (OH) State University. He has been exhibiting his colorful, stylistic portraits, landscapes and still lifes, along with prints and sculptural work in clay, for many years. Fiely taught art for 30 years in Ohio public schools and has been a Professor of Art at Defiance (OH) College since 2002. He considers himself “an artist who loves to teach.”
