John Nichols from Leeds, Al, uses his love of woodworking to create one of a kind works of art. His pieces display items that are indigenous to the area around the Little Cahaba River.

Sharon Piercy
I was active in art in high school in Indianapolis Indiana. I won several awards, including 500 Festival of Arts 2 honorable mentions and a Hallmark award. College for Art wasn’t in my future for financial reasons. I left home at barely 18. I had a roommate that was a nurse, and I got started in a Respiratory Therapy program at the hospital where she worked. With tuition reimbursement from the hospital, while working full time, I got my degree in Respiratory Therapy. That was my full-time profession from 1974 until 2015 when I retired.
Then I got an easel from my husband for my birthday and started creating art again. I started doing shows, mostly local, up until 2023. It’s hard work!
Now I show my art in a couple of local galleries and do some commissions, mostly pet portraits.
My medium is mostly acrylics and some resin but it’s also fun to try new things. I use lots of color and do mostly coastal themed paintings.
It’s been a fun journey and I’m happy that I reconnected with my art, even later in life.
I hope you enjoy my art.

I live in Elberta AL with my Hubby, 1 dog and 2 cats. I have a small studio in our home where I do many creations. I am a Professional Seamstress/Costume Designer making costumes for theatre and recitals. I am also a Professional Floral Designer having worked in local shops and freelance work and a Jewelry Designer which is my love and what I do for Festivals and Galleries.
I strive to create Unique Wearable Art for the adventurous……
I make my jewelry designs with reclaimed and new copper. I use new and old methods to twist, hammer, weave, etch and stamp shapes to then accent with semi-precious stones, pearls, fossils, glass, and crystal beads. I then oxidize in a bath of LOS (liver of sulfur), dry and buff with 0000 steel wool and then wash and polish in a tumbler with steel shot. The result is a beautifully distressed and aged look that will obtain an even more beautiful finish with lifelong wear.
