Our prestigious art gallery has been showing the work of local artists for decades. Housed in the former library of the Clubhouse, the Gallery shows artists who have had either commercial success or have been in at least one juried show. A different artist is featured bi-monthly throughout the year. Being an artist is not a requirement for sitting on the Gallery Board. Assistance is given for locating artists interested in showing their work. Each Board member is required to be the sponsor of one artist per year. The Gallery Board meets the first Friday of every month from
10:30-11:30am.
Come Visit Us! Free and open to the public Tuesday thru Saturday 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and during special events.
Art displayed is available for purchase.
APRIL COUCH
Artist, CZT, & Owner of Totally Tangled Creations
As a graduate from Baldwin Wallace with a degree in Business Administration and Management, I spent 17 years in banking before deciding to stay home to raise my three children. After my children were all in school, I worked as a substitute teacher. If someone had told me even a year ago that I would someday be considered an artist, I would have thought it quite funny.
As a self-taught artist I create complicated drawings that are built one line at a time. Patterns are combined in an unplanned way that grow and change in unbelievable and amazing ways. Every piece, whether on paper, wood, gourds, metal, stones, ceramics, or the beach, are unbelievably detailed, unique and amazing works of art. What I love the most about this art form is that there are absolutely no creative limits or boundaries. Anything is possible one line at a time!
I started seriously pursuing my art in 2012 and full time in 2014. I am passionate about the Arts as well as mentoring and encouraging young people to pursue their artistic dreams. I am dedicated making sure that my art will support me when I can no longer do it. Therefore, I am always pushing the limits of what I can do with it.
I have won many awards for my work from honorable mentions to best of show. Design clients include The Akron Zoo, the Akron-Summit County Public Library, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and the Akron Roundtable. I have also designed two street murals and a First Night button. OH, YES! I AM HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE!
