My new Gallery Birds!!! Yea ...Welcome George and Gracie!

These are my new "gallery birds"!  George and Gracie!  I just got them last night...I think they will love living at the gallery...so much color and noise and people and attention!!! They are attention mongers!  Especially Gracie on the left.  She is a Quaker Parrot and George is a Love Bird.  George could care less... I think...about peoples attention...but Gracie wants to be loved totally!  They are both freaked out today..everything is too new...I am trying to give them their "space" to acclimate...but its so hard...Gracie is so fun!  She hasn't been worked with too much...but Quakers can really be big talkers.  So, we are going to work on talking...so far she has just imitated my laugh...which was hilarious!!  And she gives kisses...but that's all so far.  I have to do some reading about these birds so I can be the very best human friend they could have.  Quakers live to be about 30....Gracie is around 7. The love bird is around 4 yrs old...I don't know how long Love Birds live...I will find this all out...what a fun new journey!!!  Please come and check my new feathered friends out at the gallery!!

Ann Teliczan's work to be at The Bradley Art Gallery ongoing...starting end of March!

About the Artist

As a young child Ann Teliczan moved from her birthplace in Los Angeles to a little farming community nestled against the western slopes of the Cascade mountains near the Canadian border. Her earliest memories are of being just as fascinated by the smallest detail in a wildflower as she was in the beauty of a worn out old shack or weathered tombstone. Ann saw beauty in overcast rainy days, a battle between brilliantly green grass and the ever hazy overcast world that would frequently envelop her family for weeks. She lived in a world of contrasts and contradictions.

Teliczan studied illustration, graphic design and photography as a student at William James College, a liberal arts college that emphasized philosophical thinking. There, she began exploring expressing herself with illustrations and hand colored black and white photography. Today Ann's creative energy marries the realism of digital captures, use of painting techniques and high tech archival printing methods on watercolor paper and canvas.

Ann's work will be in the gallery as of the end of March. There will be a special opening with Ann attending all day on April 24th from 10-6. Come and meet Ann and enjoy the festivities of our Annual Spring Fling Event. There will be live music and refreshments as well! The Event runs both Sat and Sun April 24-25th 10-6 with Live Music and refreshments both days. Ann will be here only on Saturday however! Mark your calendars! More on this event soon!
