Kestrel Creek Gallery Launches Its New On-line Gallery 

MOSCOW, ID – May 1, 2000 – Kestrel Creek Gallery launches its new on-line gallery, www.kestrelcreek.com, which now offers the public, artists, art collectors and art patrons an opportunity to communicate and view art on-line. The spectacular growth of Internet commerce inspired three local artists to open an on-line gallery to market art objects made of turned wood. Using mostly local woods, Will Simpson, Ben Carpenter and Jim Christiansen have participated in local, national and international exhibitions and sales including the Pathways and East Meets West shows. These efforts will continue but the three hopes to manage the majority of their sales through their own gallery.

 

Currently the gallery contains pictures of the wood objects created by each of the three artists and links for more detailed information on the process and inspiration for this art. The works range from simple wooden bowls to more elaborate wooden vessels requiring hundreds of hours of handwork to shape and carve. In the future, the three plan to host periodic juried shows on-line. Showing established talents in the on-line gallery will make wood art available to a wide audience of collectors. In the mean time visitors to the gallery will be able to view over twenty-five objects in an ever-changing rotation of new work.

The new site was named after the American Kestrel, the smallest and the most abundant falcon in North America. The new Kestrel Creek Gallery opened for business on April 25th.

 

Kestrel Creek Gallery is located in Moscow, Idaho. The gallery strives to provide top quality wood art by regional artists. For additional information on Kestrel Creek Gallery or the art that they offer visit their Web site at www.kestrelcreek.com or call (208) 882-2128.
