Art of Eden Gallery will be open for limited Easter Holiday Hours. Please join us on the weekends of April 15th & 16th, and April 22nd & 23rd from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. New work by Michelle Strader will be on display, featuring her hand-painted eggs and new clay works.

We are also pleased to announce that an egg art collection by both Michelle and her mother, Clara Jett Lawson, is on display at the Upshur County Public Library in Buckhannon, WV for the month of April. Clara Jett worked in oil, acrylic, and clay. She and Michelle shared a love of the arts, and for years, created work and attended craft shows together. Although Clara Jett has passed away, Michelle continues to enjoy creating and selling decorated eggs and clay handiworks at her gallery, Art of Eden. We hope you will take the time to visit the gallery and library to take in these beautiful pieces of art!

Artist's Statement
I enjoy trying to recreate things I see in nature. Clay is a great medium that not only gives a three dimensional appeal but also just feels wonderful to work; like playing in mud in my garden. I hope through my work I can inspire others to experience what I am feeling at that particular moment of creation.
