"Northwind" by Denise Ryan

This is the most exciting time of the year for the artists and galleries of Eureka Springs! We are happy to announce that the annual Eureka Springs Invitational Art Show is being held this year in Artifacts Gallery, located at 37 Spring Street. Here you will see 50 local artists exhibited in this delightful new venue which is now located downtown. Eureka Thyme joins with all the galleries in town to welcome Artifacts and encourage everyone to visit this exceptional show of cool and diverse art on exhibit for the entire month of May.

While you're viewing the Eureka Springs Invitational Art Show, take note of the painting by Denise Ryan. Denise is the featured artist at Eureka Thyme on May 19, the third of four gallery strolls in celebration of the Art of Eureka.

 Denise says of her work:
"My still lifes are glimpses into a world which is unique and exists only in the paintings themselves.
 They have been called surreal, but I see them more as metaphysical, a place just beyond physical reality. Sometimes, I add a
bird, frog, insect, or lizard to create a not-so-still life."

Meet Denise between 1 and 4 p.m. on the May 19, and again during the regular Stroll hours of 6 to 9 p.m.
