Kathryn Gallery is a very high end gallery that features American artists but prides itself on its…read moreinternational artist collection. I've found a lot of Spanish art here and even some Israeli art. One of Kathryn's signature artists is Jaline Pol, a well-cultured French artist. She paints big, globby flowers. She's really good. I don't think she uses any brushes, just a palette knife. I saw her stuff in another high end gallery on a recent Chicago trip. I recognized her immediately. That's one of the key requirements of great art: a recognizable style. Her color palette is also very bright and upbeat. Most of the pieces at Kathryn Gallery are landscape oils. But there are also sculptures. The sculptures tend to have a circular-motion feel, if that makes sense. Even the stickman types are bending into a sphere, making them appear voluminous. For nearly a year, Kathryn Gallery has also been showing these vibrant swirled pitchers that look like something you'd see in Fantasia. They have leaves and lily pistils placed in offbeat places. I don't know what you'd do with something like that, but they're fun to look at for a few minutes while you're visiting. I love Kathryn Gallery's location. It's at the south end of the district near a bunch of other galleries. It's on a corner, so it has all these display windows that are very alluring from the outside, but they also provide a bunch of natural light inside the gallery. I do wish the art changed more rapidly. Sometimes they have the same stuff in there for what seems like months. They don't have exhibits like, say OAL. But they do put pieces in the closet and bring them back out six months later. They do, of course, also get new stock. If you go, I have two suggestions. One, fill your pockets with some of the chocolate from the candy dish near the entrance. Two, go all the way to the back under the exit sign; there's a closet/hallway back there filled with more art.

Very nice art gallery! They always have interesting pieces and it makes a great stop when you're…read moredoing the short north gallery hop. Outside of that I'd check their hours before turning up.

This gallery consistently blows me away with their vibrant and varied exhibitions. Glass and…read moreceramic pieces are definitely my favorite and they are all represented here, but there is something for everyone. Tonight, for example, we attended a dinner and wine pairing to celebrate a precious gemstones artisan and it was exquisite. The pieces of jewelry had great range, unique design and depth. It was interesting to learn about her inspiration for the pieces, how she sources the stones/materials and the process to create them. There is validated parking in the rear, street parking and nearby garages in terms of parking. The gallery is amongst other galleries, bars, restaurants, and Goodale Park.

Walking into Sherrie Gallerie is like going through the looking glass - sort of. There's always a…read moremix of whimsical/sardonic/wicked work there; it's what draws people through the doors. One of my favorite shows possibly ever in Columbus just ended at Sherrie Gallerie. I walked past one day to see these horridly fascinating human heads. In no time, I was inside, standing face-to-face with the creatures and studying the precision and craftsmanship of their teeth and skin. The heads, created by 'ceramicist' Tom Bartel, were dually nightmarish and comical. I have since become a huge fan of his macabre style. That's the beauty of Sherrie Gallerie. Sherrie brings the best work to Columbus, and people leave the gallery with curiosity. Sherrie leaves you wanting more. It's fantastic! Another awesome show from mid-summer: Problems in Sailing by John Balistreri. Seriously people, if you're the least bit into ceramics, check this place out. Balistreri had these huge pieces in the windows. They looked like planes that had crashed into the gallery floor. Oh, and the most alluring show of them all was a couple years ago. Sherrie had crayon installations by Christian Faur. They were large scale, and the premise was similar to that of a Lite-Brite but with a tinge of Holocaust sadness. The Christian Faur show was my deciding factor; right then, I knew I needed to move to Columbus.

I have really enjoyed all of the artists at Studios on High for many years. For full disclosure, I…read morehave known one of the founders for my whole life, but that means I have seen this place grow from a start-up idea to a mainstay in the Short North that has showcased dozens of local artists over the years in many different genres. DO go to this place if you want to see artists at work, affordable gifts, unique arts and crafts, and critters that will make you smile. DON'T go here if you expect pretentious art folks, art you can't understand, or art that is not appealling to a wide audience. Next time there is a hop or for a quick stop check out Studios on High!!

Studios on High is an artist collective. Artists come in and out of ownership of the gallery, but…read morethe average number of associated artists usually hovers around 15. I find that Studios On High has a female slant. Many of the artists are women, many of the themes in the work deal with femininity, and much of the work is aimed (in my opinion) at female buyers. A lot of the art features animals and nature as well. I most appreciate Studios On High for its history as a Columbus gallery; it's been around since the mid-1980s. Many of the artists who leave end up opening their own galleries, case in point, Jeff Hersey of Terra Gallery. If you visit, you'll catch a handful of the artists in the studio; sometimes they're in the process of creating something, or perhaps they're just knitting. The artists are very inviting and don't mind if you hang around to watch them work. My favorite pieces at Studios On High are always the blown glass vessels by husband and wife duo Scott Conover and Lisa Horkin. The tiny vessels are so colorful, and they all have great shapes. I saw Scott and Lisa last summer making the vessels on High St at a Gallery Hop. They also make bowels and vases. The colored pencil drawings by Rhonda Bartoe Tuckers are also phenomenal. They are so smooth that they look like they were painted. Since Studios On High is a collective, there's all kinds of art to be seen (in all kinds of genres): prints, paintings, jewelry, sculptures, paintings, drawings, knits, glass, ceramics, etc. The artwork changes often.

A Muse is one of the few galleries in Columbus that has a parking lot (and a bathroom). One star…read morefor that alone. I made my first trip there earlier this week. It seemed like a strange location, under a bridge, just across from the Parking Solutions office. This is definitely a female bent establishment. The themes were all about femininity and trees. The art was okay. It definitely wasn't bad, but I don't think it was all the way there yet. I didn't see one piece that I downright enjoyed or that drew on any kind of emotion. There was a piece with a girl and some eggplants. I thought that was skillfully done, and I contemplated the meaning for a while. It held my attention, but it's not something I would want to own. There were also some aviator statues with no arms, but, once again, they were just almost there. The gallery is large though, and it's very inviting. They seem to represent a lot of artists. They have two locations, and they just celebrated their 10 year anniversary. The curator was there, and she was helpful and friendly - almost too helpful and friendly. She asked us how we were doing three times. I wasn't sure if she was suspicious, if she wanted us to leave, or if she just thought we really looked like we needed help. My favorite part of A Muse was the shop dog, shadow. He looked like an aging Great Dane/Black Lab mix. There were two love birds in the office, literal love birds. They were very chirpy. If you go, be sure to go back to the office because there's more art for show back there.

It takes something special to catch my eye, and it happened that a recent erotica show captured my interest. The space was small, like most of the surrounding architecture, but modern and airy. Each of the pieces were well-lit, thanks to large windows and carefully placed artificial light, and the art was thought-provoking. The interior is split among two rooms, which feels awkward at first, but lends itself to a comfortable meandering. Their featured artist Chas Ray Krider was present, and he was kind enough walk us through some of his work. It was a real treat, and shed some light on the subject matter and his creative process. I didn't find the location to be remote, it was full of viewers on our Sunday visit, and my husband and I had a nice lunch afterwards at the neighboring Brown Bag Deli. I also didn't find the curator overly friendly - personable and polite, yes, but certainly not pushy. If you're looking for an artistic afternoon in German Village, the Muse Gallery provides. But you might want to check the exhibit's theme before you visit.

In addition to the regular new artist rotation for the monthly Gallery Hops, Sharon often adds new artwork into the existing collection. I feel Sharon's Gallery, along with Marcia's & Studios on High, are holding the line to keep the Short North a viable Arts District.

She said her true love is Americana, but her gallery is not overwhelmed with the stuff, which was good for me because it's not really my bag. Alongside antiques, Sharon showcases contemporary art by Ohio artists. Mediums shown include pastels, oils, watercolors, prints, and sculpture. The paintings feature many colorful landscape and still-life scenes. The gallery is stylized to reflect a home. The idea is that it will make the white walls less sterile, making it easier for shoppers to envision the pieces in their own homes. Amongst artists exhibited in the gallery is Daniel Ferlan, whose works were named in the "Best Visual Arts Events" article in The Columbus Dispatch; Sharon proudly displays the article in her storefront window. Personally, I love Daniel's stuff: big-headed children running traveling through nightmare fairytales. I'm big on oxymorons. On special Gallery Hops, if you manage to make it around the swarm of people waiting in line at Jeni's Ice Creams and down E Lincoln St, you'll see artists, maybe a painter or a potter, making art in Sharon's window. I love works in progress.
