Wild Holly Gallery......
a treat for the senses
Strolling along Easy Street in downtown Carefree, the Wild Holly Gallery
beckons shoppers to come a bit closer. The steel kinetic wind sculpture
turning in the breeze captures the attention of passersby browsing the shops.
The 6-foot Cali Lily attracts even the busiest of shoppers. Diego,
the black and white tuxedo cat seals the deal. He is the gallery mascot
and greets everyone at the door.
Once inside this 4700 square foot, two-story gallery, the question
becomes, where do I start?
Piece after piece the gallery is an explosion
of tastefully displayed art, representing the
art of over 90 local and nationally acclaimed artists. Paintings,
dramatic sculptures an intriguing metal wall, trickling fountains, sparkling
glass, pottery and contemporary jewelry all become a treat for the senses.
Color, texture, energy surround the art collector.
Each piece tells a story and the gallery staff welcomes the chance to
share each story and artist. Yet, meandering through the space,
collectors can image what each item represents. The look on the face of
the cowgirl in one painting, as she’s puffing on a good cigar,
seems to say, “I know what I want and I’m
going to get it. Her advice is well taken
at this eclectic gallery.
