Boyd-Heron started the Peninsula Gallery in
Lewes 9 years ago as a fine art gallery and
custom framing shop. After 3 years they almost
doubled the size of it to 3500 square feet,
making it one of the largest galleries in
Delaware.
Representing
some of the best local and regional artists on a
full time basis, as well as others from England
and Russia, the gallery specializes in original
artwork. Exhibitions are mounted on a monthly
basis in a separate room. Images from each
exhibit are posted on the gallery website,
www.peninsula-gallery.com.
A distinguished custom framing, art and frame
conservation and interior design consultation
service is also offered.
On show during
May is "Ordinary/Extraordinary" an exhibit by
five artists who each invite the viewer to make
the connection between the taking of an ordinary
image or idea and transforming it into an
extraordinary painting. The goal is to give the
viewer a different way to see the world. The
question.....What do the artists convey and what
do you see???
The exhibit
opens on Saturday, April 30, with a reception to
meet the artists and discuss their work, from
5-7 pm, and runs through May 25. The next
exhibit will open on May 28. The Peninsula
Gallery is located at 520 E. Savannah Rd, just
across the canal bridge, in Lewes and is open 7
days a week. Phone 302-645-0551 for further
information.
