Have you seen the 2010 Celia Flock Art Calendar? Of course we're a bit prejudiced, but it really is quite wonderful! In each calendar packet there are twelve pieces of art, one for each month of the year. Pop it into a frame, and voila, you have a new piece of handsome art each month!
Celia Flock is a native North Carolinian and Charlotte resident. She graduated with a BFA from UNC and for her entire life she has been an artist. Her work has wide recognition: exhibitions at galleries including Duke University, Hodges Taylor, and Jerald Melburg; first prize in painting at the Coconut Grove Art Festival; and a North Carolina Arts Council Visual Artist Fellowship Award.
When Celia submitted her work to the Maddi's Artist Jury two years ago, we were immediately impressed and excited. As a result, she created two prints of the Charlotte skyline which we have sold at the galleries. They have been so popular, we asked Celia if she wanted to do an art calendar. Her response, "I've already started one!"
Celia's images are very bright and colorful and they have a definite Southern flavor. From January's cotton bouquet to July's peaches, Celia uses everyday images from her life's experience to brighten every month. To see every image, go to http://www.maddisgallery.com/ and click on the calendar.
Of course, the calendar is for sale at both Maddi's and on-line, too. And you will begin to see it in many other fine stores: Cameron's in Chapel Hill, all the Mast General Stores in western NC, Paper Skyscraper, Paper Twist and Buttercup here in Charlotte, the Sanctuary in Davidson and many more. Our new venture is off and running.
And if you're looking for the perfect holiday gift, put this fun new calendar on your list. There are two sizes for both wall and desktop and Maddi's has inexpensive frames as well. And it's the beginning of a wonderful tradition...we're already planning 2011!
