As Cross sets sail with Artlynx Gallery 2.0, – Allie states, “As I consider artists and productofferings for the shop, I am compelled to consider the times we live in and the needsand trends of our market. As many of us consider living a more sustainable lifestyle–I have carefully curated a unique offering here at BSI with artists, designers and artisans who in many ways, address nature and sustainable living in one form or another within their work.”
With a discerning eye for ‘beautiful things’ and a mindful eye on the environment– the retail gallery and boutique will highlight original art and artisanal hand-crafted items for the home. They include unique one-of-a-kind Objet d’art;hand-blown glass, bronze sculptures and sustainably hand crafted items from Europe;BoHo line of natural fiber hand-crafted hammocks- in a variety of color, sustainably produced artisanal hand-crafted room fragrances, vegetable candles, 100% natural hand-made soaps and other items direct from Provence France, among many otheritems.
With respect to current works of art for the wall, Cross will place attention on local and regional artists whose historical context, experience and breadth play a vital role among the artistic landscape.
