Ryatt Johnston Gallery 3^rd Annual Open House & Art Sale

Mother’s day weekend art event

Clovis, CA (April 30, 2012) Tamela Ryatt and Karen Johnston of Ryatt Johnston Gallery invite the public to their 3^rd annual open house on Saturday & Sunday, May 12th & 13th from 10 am to 4 pm. Location: 22140 Frontier Road, Clovis, CA 93619 (cross street; Auberry Road, 2 miles north of Table Mountain Casino)

Join Ryatt, Johnston as they present their photography, sculptures and feature the paintings by Fresno’s newest artist, Bibi Bielat. The open house also showcases a gorgeous succulent garden, walking trails and sitting areas with breathtaking views of Table Mountain and the surrounding foothills.

Ryatt and Johnston are excited to introduce Bibi Bielat. Bibi has been painting for 15 years, previously in San Diego, CA and Nashville, TN. This is her debut art show in Fresno, CA. Bibi’s unique, rustic and contemporary paintings are sure to make you take a closer look and examine the properties of her iron, copper and bronze elements used in her medium.

While some of her work is epic in scale, Karen Johnston’s sculptures are amazingly airy and always tactile. Machined to bring out the warmth inherent to the coloration of the aluminum, Karen’s work is playful, yet purposed – showcasing the lightness and the strength of the material.

Tamela Ryatt will be displaying her newest series of work titled “Succulents.” Most of her work has been photographed on the property with the exception of her varied travels to Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and India. Tamela has been a professional photographer for more than twenty years and loves to share her passion for photography at Sunnyside High School where she teaches traditional black and white photography to more than 200 students every year.

Art for sale ranges in price from $20 to $2500, there is sure to be something for everyone. Visa and Mastercard are accepted.
