Earthly Pleasures: It's easy to be Green

Dec. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Earthly Pleasures is an online exhibition on crafthaus.ning.com.  The exhibition was curated by crafthaus members Glen and Marie Guarino and is their sixth online show on the fine craft network.   Of 65 entered submissions, they selected 26 pieces made by artists from Bali, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Portugal, and the United States.  The criteria for artwork selected were that work had to be an original design by the artist and each piece in the exhibit had to be made from rescued or reclaimed materials or taken from a certified green source.

The artists in “Earthly Pleasures” are: Claudie Bastide,  Harriete Estel Berman,  Fred Johnson,  Norine Kevolic, Tadashi Koizumi, Gabrielle Kunze, Joshua, Lynn,  Warren Moeller, Thomas Patrick Muir, Norman Pirollo, Frances Scott, Thomas R. Skaggs,  Robbin Smith, Frances Solar, Nick Taylor,  Barbi Touron, and Craig Vandeman.

Crafthaus.ning.com is a juried site where artists can display their work and connect with other artists, galleries and organizations interested in fine contemporary craft.  The artists represent not only a wide range of art craft media, but also reside in every corner of the globe.  Brigitte Martin created the site in May 2008 to foster social interaction and a sense of community.

Glen G. Guarino was recently honored as a “Signature Artist” at the Noyes Museum of Art as an exemplar of the highest caliber of artistic standards. In 2011 Guarino will be exhibiting in Art Connections 7 in New Jersey and then in Architectural Digest Home Show in Manhattan.  He will also be a guest speaker at Wood Expo in New England Home Show in February.  His work has been published in a number of publications. Guarino holds a Master of Studio Art Degree with High Honors from Kean University and is currently an Adjunct Professor at William Paterson University Fine Arts Department. Marie Guarino works with Glen managing the business and as his art agent.
