Blue Blossom Floral Apothecary has launched a new monthly exhibition series, Artist and Blooms, in collaboration with Art MoB Studios and Marketplace. Each month will feature a current gallery artist accompanied by a floral art presentation designed by Simone Wood. For the collaboration, artists are invited to share their stories and images of new work they have created during the pandemic. “Both Michele Sparks, owner of Art MoB, and I wanted to give the artists inspiration to keep being creative and to promote them in a different way,” says Wood. “Also, along with the artwork and the floral display, we have invited my sister Dianne Petit to write a poem about one of the pieces that each artist will have on display.”

Kelly G. Chelena Fine Art I became an abstract painter when the background of my work became more important than the subject I was painting. 828-388-1311 413 N Wall St Hendersonville, NC 28792 Visit Website
A Painters Spirit I became an abstract painter when the background of my work became more important than the subject I was painting. Oils were my preferred medium for years but I turned to acrylics in 2022. Color plays an important role in my work. Intuitive layering of paint and marks remain a focus. Large watercolor pieces allow me to be quick and expressive. There is a relationship between one mark and another. The marks often resemble written language. Many of these pieces have an Asian aesthetic. For both mediums, intentional and random marks create an element of nature or an introspective piece. Stages and challenges of life are depicted in sections, compartments, layers or the expression of a mark. Nature, Faith, politics, introspection and even nursery rhymes are present in my work. I am reminded that I am connected to the bigger world through my art. My influences include Gerhard Richter, Cy Twombly, Willem DeKooning, Cecily Brown, Julie Mahretu, Ed Moses, the Impressionists, Chinese and Japanese paper works and many others.
