Thanks for posting this image from the series -- I just want to say that this series began during this past long, cold, old fashioned winter. I was inspired and fortified by the birds that came each day to my feeder in the backyard. They were the only thing moving in the frozen landscape -- and watching them kept my heart open. Birds are a rich symbol, found represented in most cultures. Because they can fly, birds capture our imaginations and become the messengers from the gods -- and a representation of spirit. thanks Brenna Busse
The Grand Hand Gallery blog will keep you up to date on new work arriving to the gallery, information on artists, gallery events, The Grand Hand staff's favorite things, and more.
The Grand Hand Gallery offers contemporary fine American craft in a variety of media: clay, metal, wood, fiber, glass and jewelry. The gallery reflects owner Ann Ruhr Pifer's affinity for work that conveys a strong sense of authenticity, and that shows "the hand of the artist" at work. More than half of the gallery selections are by Minnesota and Midwest regional artists, with the balance by artists from across the United States.
