Jim Brandon, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For the exhibit, member artist Jim Brandon created a lathe-turned sculpture made from a large, locally sourced maple burl. The piece, titled <em>Surprise!<\/em>, is turned on three levels to maintain as much of the textured burl edge as possible. The top is cupped, hollowed and dyed black, with a white selenite crystal orb mounted in the center. An oiled walnut base cut with compound curved angles adds additional flow to the work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurprises are one of my favorite things, particularly at Christmas,\u201d says Brandon. \u201cOften, as in this case, it\u2019s usually a bit of a surprise what cuts out of a rough, bark-covered burl. I added the white orb as an additional unexpected element.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Member Barbara Hawk\u2019s painting, <em>Looking Glass Falls<\/em>, depicts the natural beauty that nurtures her soul and inspires her with both mystery and delight. Like many of Hawk\u2019s pieces, this one highlights the intense colors of the scene and produces textures through the use of palette knives.<\/p>\n<p>A Christmas ornament submitted by glass and jewelry artist Angela Maddix combines her hand-torched glass beads with hammered, wrapped and manipulated wire. The resulting delicate glass bird inside a twisted wire cage provides contrasting color and texture meant to please the eye and bring a smile to the viewer. \u201cAll of my work\u2014sculpture and jewelry\u2014is constructed to bring happiness and beauty,\u201d says Maddix.<\/p>\n<p>Number 7 Arts, a program of the Transylvania Community Arts Council, has been a downtown hub for local and regional art since 2009. The gallery operates as a co-op representing 30 local artists and a wide range of media.<br \/>\n\u201cNumber 7 Arts offers me one more excellent avenue to display and sell my art,\u201d says Brandon. \u201cI\u2019ve really enjoyed the entire process of exhibiting in this gallery, and have been very pleased with the acceptance of my art in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Number 7 Arts is located at 2 West Main Street in the heart of downtown Brevard.
