Artists' Workshop Gallery is a cooperative art gallery owned and operated by thirty three local artists. We offer a wide variety of artwork including oils, acrylics, scratch board, watercolor, ink, graphite, pastel, collage, mixed mediums and photography. Our gallery also features fabric art, pottery, glass works, journals, jewelry, note cards, miniature paintings and sculpture. We have art for every budget, from reasonably priced original works to inexpensive prints and note cards. Many of the artists accept lay-away and commissions for artwork. Our gallery is staffed by the member artists who often work their craft during gallery hours. We invite you to come in, say hello, browse our artwork, and watch the artists at work.

BONNIE RICCI
Bonnie’s stunning pastel work will make you look at flowers, flowers you have seen hundreds of times before, in a new and different light. She also paints in acrylic, watercolor, polymer clay, and zippers. That’s right, polymer clay and zippers. “One day a friend just gave me a big box of old zippers,” Ricci explains. You may have a hard time imagining how someone would accumulate a substantial box of old zippers. Once you’ve seen Bonnie’s creative and quirky mind at work, you will have no trouble understanding why they were given to her. What she has done with them has to be seen to be believed.
MAUREEN ROUSSEAU – Our brains are computers, and highly sophisticated computers at that. We spend our lives loading information into our memory banks to be used when needed. Some of that information, like how to tie shoes or make breakfast, we use nearly every day. Some of the information can go unused for decades. Before settling in Hot Springs Village, Maureen Rousseau spent time as a graphic designer, police telecommunications officer in Florida, and piloted passenger vessels on Baltimore's inner harbor. She and her husband lived for years off-the-grid, aboard their trawler, cruising the intercoastal waterway from the Northeast down to the Florida Keys. Needless to say, Rousseau has much information stored in her memory banks. What an artist does is to draw information from a variety of those stored files and reassemble them in a manner new to the world. Maureen does that with style and humor.
