Inside Quicksilver...
|
One of Quicksilver's most popular artists is Ed Lorhum, whose smoke drawings are pictured here. Ed uses a small oil lamp burning a special secret mixture to apply swirling smoke patterns onto a smooth paper surface. He then etches and erases part of the smoke to create amazingly detailed original landscapes.

Quicksilver moved into this beautifully remodeled space in May of l997 just in time for the annual May Fine Art Gallery Walks that are planned for each Saturday evening during that month.

Visitors are encouraged to handle all the artwork and to try on jewelry. We've been described as a user-friendly gallery! Jim Mayfield's remarkable color photographs of Ozark landscapes and his sensitive and significant black & white portraits of weathered elders line the walls while whimsical laminated chrome jewelry by Scott and Jill Elisabeth demand attention.

Sharon Fujimoto's colorful hand-blown glass paperweight combines function with form and the intricate flowing inner design leaves one wondering how she does it. Sharon is just one of over sixty artisans whose works are available at Quicksilver.

The lower level of Quicksilver is often referred to as the fun room because of the drums, gongs, freenotes and other musical instruments there. Signs say, "Please Play!" and most visitors follow those instructions with pleasure.

Tibetan singing bowls, beautiful turned wood vases, raku pottery and many other artforms share the lower floor with limited edition watercolor prints by William McNamara, a well-known Arkansas artist who lives nearby on the Buffalo River.
