 Welcome to

  Prairie House Gallery®!

  August 28,  2012

  Welcome to the start of another school year!

 We're selling with a bit more limited scope for now. We are have shifted our focus to the works of a few core gallery artists.    

For now, we will also suggest other gallery sites that carry similar materials to what we have carried in the past.  We hope that these choices will tide you over until we can again expand our mission. 

We continue our committment to Kiva.org, and we invite you to visit our lender page at http://www.kiva.org/lender/marijo4657.  We have also donated money toward the planting of trees in both the Arbour Day forest fire restoration project and their rain forest rescue!

We have the link for Ms. Sandra Sula's website.  She is a former Praire House artist who now has her own gallery (see below).  She has added some more work in the last month.  Also, one of our artists has just published her first books of poetry.  Click on the link below to see her work in a different medium.

 

Prairie House Gallery (TM) continues it committment to all of the arts.  As such, we are also pleased to support Skates360, a professional skate-sharpening service located north of Chicago.  Well sharpened blades are as critical to a skater as a good gears and well lubed hubs are to a bike.  With the fall skating season just starting, now is the time to improve your performance by investing very little in your blades.

If you are in the Chicagoland area, we also encourage you to visit a new mural by her husband and fellow artist and paleontologist, Robert Sula, at the  Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art in Elmhurst Illinois. All 11 species in the painting are meticulous reproductions of fossils from the Devonian era Bundenbach ecosystem in Germany. This formation is a lagerstatten, a site where soft-bodied organisms also fossilized.

Thank you for visiting!  Above (detail 3 closer) 

 

Our friend and former exhibitor,Sondra Sula, has just posted some new pieces on her website too! We encourage you to visit Sondra's site and puruse her pieces. 

 

 Mrs. Burk, The book of Poetry by M. Readey, went to this fall's Bejing Book Fair!  This book, and her other book of poetry, Shadows Cast and Lonesome Prayers, can be found on her LuLu page.  She hopes to soon release another book called A Sample of My Work.  We'll keep you updated.

Why We Can No Longer

Offer Books Through Amazon

Until recently, we offerred our customers links to our favourate books through Amazon. Because of recent changes in the tax laws in our home state, Amazon is no longer offering this service in our region.  Although we would have loved to continue this service for our customers, the decision to terminate the affiliates program was out of our control.  We will continue to provide links to books copyrighted and published by autors affiliated with our gallery.  Thank you for your understanding.
