Seven artist will be exhibiting their new works at the event barn at Country Pleasures Farm and Orchard: 6219 Harley Road, Middletown, MD.
Fine Arts in the Valley artists have been creating specialty shows for over ten years. The one thing these artists have in common is, passion for their work. Much of the work is inspired by the natural world around them. Making the show a prefect fit to display at an Amish built barn, own my Eric Rice and Lori Leitzel Rice.
This year we have two new artists joining Fine Arts in the Valley: Lisa LeMair and Chirstopher Proto of LeMair Handcraft's. Lisa's work is inspired by symbols, using Mores Code in her jewelry and other signs within her clothing line. Christopher creates pottery that has a strong sense of touch. The outer surfaces have a wonderful texture that draws people to pick it up and feel the uniqueness of his work. He has created a special line just for men.
Our returning artists are: Homer Yost, sculpture, he works with animal and human figures. He often will create charcoal drawings as he studies his subject matter. His works are in many public and private collections across the country.

She is a signature member with MD Pastel Society, member of VA Pastel Society and Juried Member of AZ Pastel Society. Her works are in collections in the U.S., Brazil, England, and Africa.
