Open House reception for new artist





An open house reception for our recently acquired artists, Rachel Clearfield and Cathie Fitzjohn will be held Thursday evening, September 11th 5:30 - 7:30 pm @ the Crabtree Creek Gallery, Micaville, NC.







Rachel Clearfield, born in Manchester, England was a self taught child prodigy, composing poetry and illustrating her poems with her beautiful paintings. Her body of work can be viewed in galleries throughout the United States.
The artist calls her present mode of painting "classic visionary" inspired by the legendary masters of the Renaissance.
