EARTH AND FIRE GALLERY Story Painting.  Art Show at Earth and Fire Gallery in Terlingua, TX.  Artist - Lori Griffin.  Free and open to the Public. March 15-31.
Artist Lori Griffin is often asked is there a story for every art piece made.  Her reply is yes and that the inspiration is often quite personal.  One of her signatures is hidden images that await to be discovered.  "It is very meaningful when the viewer has an emotional reaction with the art."  Lori tries to push limits: either the topic, the medium itself, her experience, or the process. This creates challenge and does not allow her to become comfortable and this in turn helps create strong soulful art.  She is always willing to share the inspiration behind the piece to allow a connection with anyone who might be interested in collecting her art.  The art stories range from sacred to fairytales; often include both fact and fiction.  Want a private showing or have Questions - 432-301-9663.

Marley was adopted recently and though his adopter’s severe allergies made it an impossible match, we did get to learn how exemplary Marley is in a home! He is house trained, a wonderful leash walker, knows how to sit, doesn’t bark, has terrific house manners, loads up in the car, and will follow you all around the house. Marley is a little shy but absolutely friendly. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, all vaccines, and a microchip. Best of all, adopting from the shelter rescues a homeless pet from our community and provides them the family that they need! For more information about Marley or any pet in the Alpine shelter, email heatherthemule@gmail.com
