Creating a Mermaid....From Cans!

Never let it be said that the Gallery is ever idle...To celebrate the Grand Opening of Lake Worth's brand new Publix Supermarket, Gallery artist Mary Ellen Dohrs was recruited to create a giant mermaid in the front of the Gallery made entirely of canned goods from Publix! Mary Ellen is an extraordinary sculptor and artist, and also an engineer, perfect for the job. Beginning on Monday, Gallery artists gathered to construct the mermaid under Mary Ellen's direction. The finished result is amazing! Be sure to stop by the Gallery to see her in all her canned wonder.

Marvelous Mermaid!

CGMS Gallery artist Norman Gitzen is well known for his sculptures and carvings. He's also well known for one of his most talked-about creations, the "Siren". This monolithic mermaid has been shown all over Florida and has caught the attention of millions through some very interesting press. Most recently, the "Siren" has been residing in all her glory outside our Gallery in Lake Worth. Just last week, Frank Cerebino of the Palm Beach Post wrote a great article about her and we wanted to share that here. Please take a moment to read the article and by all means leave comments! And, be sure to stop by the Gallery to see this amazing sculpture up close and personal!
