About Spirit of the Hand:

Over the past 20 years creating my designs, my focus was wholesaling my work by participating in numerous tradeshows bi-annually to show my work and generate orders. Being part of these shows I would always be intrigued by my fellow artists’ talent . I collected their pieces for my home and always had my visitors tell me they loved to see all the unique artwork I had and what I might have that was new from my recent travels.

Our vision is to offer our local area a place to find great items that support “Made in America” knowing that what they and in our gallery along will our friendly atmosphere will items that have meaning, quality and oer the value of being treasured for years to come. My first location opened in 2005, which was very small, we quickly grew out of the space.

In 2008, our move to our largest location enables us to provide a space to promote artist exhibits and we are able to help local artists get exposure I our area which we nd a great way to be active in our area and for our visitors to enjoy the work of artists they may not have been aware of before and be able to follow them as they evolve in their work. It is at this time Suzanne McClave joined me along with my husband Jack in running our gallery.

Our visitors love to hear that we only carry items handmade in the USA and Canada, with the exception of our cards which are printed in the USA. We are also becoming well known for how we package their purchase “ready to give” with attractively painted shopping bags. They have become collectible pieces of art! It’s my privilege to bring unique and special items as an alternative to the ood of mass-produced items in the marketplace. The recent events of our time leave the public thirsting for things that have meaning and that uplift them. They are intrigued hearing a bit of the story that goes along with an artist’s work . Selecting a piece lls their need to express themselves for their own use, and also to give as meaningful gifts. Becoming a nominee for Top New Retailer for Niche was such an honor, we are proud to recognized for our hard work the past months opening our new larger location.

"Creating art has always been a big part of my life. I have always loved making things with my hands, for as long as I can remember..."

Steve Jobs 2011-10-06

I watched the commencement speech he did for Stanford University, he was a brilliant man. So many things people are passing around about him really hit home, he has certainly left his mark and left this world better than he found it.

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." Steve Jobs

Establishing a blog for Spirit of the Hand 2009-08-06

Well, it took a bit of time, but after getting hooked on Facebook to stay in touch with family and friends I ended up setting up a page for the gallery and it's been really fun to have a place to post what is going on in the Gallery, what's new, things going on that are related to the Art/Craft community...so, now I am learning about blogs, & tweets and also Flickr for photo storage. It seemed more overwhelming in the beginning but it is finally making more sense how they all connect and so I will be using this to keep informative updates and a journal of the happenings in the gallery and a bit of Nanette Orijinels (my designs) to share with anyone who would like to know more about what goes on behind the scenes.

Sign up to follow me and I will keep you updated with events and what is going on.

Look for me to do more updates as I set this all up!

Hope you are having an enjoyable summer!

Why we've setup a Blogspot, Twitter, & Facebook page for the gallery? 2009-08-16

Word of mouth has become our best way of getting our future customers to find us. We have tried ads in many different publications in our local area. I think most are getting so much mail in the newspaper and mailbox that they don't have a chance to look at it all and it goes in the circular file many times. I have just returned from a show in Philadelphia where I acquired new artists work and ordered new designs from artists we already represent in our gallery. I took a seminar of social networking and found I was on track as I had just set up a Facebook page a little over a week before I flew to Philly. But, I learnd so much as well that will help to stay in contact and also offer a bit of what goes on in our gallery behind the scenes. There are so many ways to find what you want on the web, and I find more and more are spending a lot of time obtaining information and things they need in this way. Nothing replaces the quality of holding a great newspaper or magazine's articles & offerings that you can hold on to and refer back to anytime you want to pull it out and look at it again. But in our busy lives I think there is more and more of a trend that people are turning to ways to seek the information they want to receive catering to their specific interests and needs. Staying in touch with what is going on targeting what is important to the individual is what makes subscribing to feeds on Twitter, Facebook, and so on. One has the freedom to recieve information and stay up to date with whatever they want to know about, and unsubscribe if their interests change and have it all taylored to their interests and needs.

I am just getting this all setup, but I will be posting information about what is going on in our gallery and anything I think may be of interest about American made products, the American Craft industry, artist news and more. Please subscribe to my blog and stay in touch with what goes on in Spirit of the Hand's world.From Spirit of the Hand's blogspot.
