Primary Elements Gallery Incorporates Primary Colors To Brighten Your World.
The variety of artists demonstrating and displaying their diverse work in Primary Elements Gallery came to their
form of expression by different paths and disciplines. The unique quality each brings to their art forms is a
combination of individual skills, training, & innate ability making their personal appearance & watching them work
an intangible value to be enjoyed by those who acquire their work. The observer will have an enhanced appreciation
for meeting and knowing the artist as an individual.
We are gifted with first a sense of touch and then sight which combines to convey both realistic and abstract
nuances depicted in a variety of mediums and techniques. You will see original oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolors, and
mixed media and photographs in their original form and through the most sophisticated of print techniques that
it is difficult to distinguish the print from the initial art piece.
Typically sculptors have used hard materials such as stone, metal, glass, and wood which is carved, chiseled,
hammered, bent, & melted in the process. Often some material is taken away to expose the line or desired shape.
Other times it is added, attached, to build upon the original material.
Contemporary artists also use soft materials such as clay, wax, plastic, or foam to create the original from which
a mold is taken to create a limited edition which can be textured, polished or colored to complete the desired effect
and cast in many different materials.
Recently sculptors have been assembling recycled materials in creative, innovative uses. We are a culture that
values recycled materials, but it takes a special skill for an artist to increase its value through his mind’s eye. It is his
inspiration and visualization that gives the materials significance and the final outcome that makes it an art form.
We invite the public to come and meet our artists, talk , visit, ask question and enjoy the weekend experience.

Butterfl y Effect by Michael Parkes:
“Diana, Goddess of the Hunt” She is the
embodiment of feminine strength, beauty,
athletic grace and courage. Her legend is older
than Ancient Greece and the Vedic scriptures.
But what does she hunt? She is the energy
of the stars, shooting her arrows through the
heavens. She hunts the Darkness of the Night.
