Focus on.....Big Land Heritage & Framing

Big Land Heritage & Framing is the newest Gallery and framing business located in Mount Pearl, serving not only Mount Pearl, but also St. John's and surrounding areas.

From their website:

"We specialize in framing photos of all sizes in all types of frames. We're sure to have something to suit your tastes.

We also have an assortment of hand made items from Labrador, such as earrings made from caribou antlers, slippers, Labradorite lazy susans, and authentic Labrador tea dolls." 

I have several originals and all of my available art reproductions available at Big Land. They can usually frame artwork in 2-3 days! And they just sold one of my newest art reproductions "Quidi Vidi View".

Big Land Heritage & Framing is located at 7 Commonwealth Avenue in the Piper's building. Drop by and see Rosie and Eugene!

Focus on....Cable Crafts in Heart's Content

I was fortunate enough to be approached in 2013 about displaying my gift items at Cable Crafts, which is located in the Heart's Content Cable Station. Heart's Content is a small community on Trinity Bay located on the Baccalieu Trail on Highway 80 just 1.5 hours from St. John's, NL.

From the Provincial Historic Sites website:

"In July 1866, after nine years and several unsuccessful attempts, the first permanent telegraph cable connecting Europe and North America was hauled ashore at Heart's Content. This little Newfoundland town leaped into the history books and remained a global communications hub for over a century. The cable station opened the world to the outport men and women who worked here and remains a time capsule of the communications technology that connected us all right up to the 1960s.

Heart's Content Cable Station today consists of an 1875 office building and a 1918 extension. Exhibits focus on the history of telegraphy and the role Heart's Content played in the industry. The cable station remained part of the Western Union Inc.'s international cable system until the facility was closed in 1965 after trans-ocean telephone cable and satellite communication made its technology obsolete."

Most items in Cable Crafts are handcrafted by local craftspeople. This year I have several gift items depicting my artwork, including porcelain ornaments, note cards, art reproductions, and art coasters. New for this year, I have painted 3 original paintings that depict not only Heart's Content (the historic lighthouse), but neighbouring communities of Cavendish and Whiteway. These small original paintings are also at Cable Crafts this year.

If you have a chance to drive the Baccalieu trail this summer and drive down the Trinity Bay portion, drop in to Cable Crafts!

Pop-Up Art Auctions

As promised...something new, yet not unfamiliar for 2014!

I'm excited to announce pop-up art auctions!

As many of you know, I was very successful in 2013 with an online art auction company. Due to circumstances beyond my control, this online auction venue is not currently available to me or other artists here in NL. So I've decided to take matters into my own hands!

Starting this week, I will be having my own online auctions through my Facebook art page www.facebook.com/BrendaRoweArtwork .

As the name implies, the auctions will be POPPING UP on my Facebook art page. There is no determined schedule, keeping everyone on their toes. However, I will promise the auctions will last at least 7 days each.

There will be a minimum starting bid listed and all you have to do to bid is to add your bid amount in the comment section. At the end of the auction, the winner will be notified and will have 48 hours to arrange payment with me through PayPal, online interac transfers, or by VISA/MasterCard.

I will be offering some of my smaller original artworks to start. It will be a great way to start your original artwork collection, add to an existing collection, or purchase an affordable piece for someone else as a gift.

The first auction will be this week! It could pop-up at any time. And the first auction will also have an added bonus of free shipping as an added incentive!
