"I live and work in Italy during the summers, and I did a few drawings in Italy. I came back and put them on various mediums and this one ("Lovers") became my headboard."

"I live and work in Italy during the summers, and I did a few drawings in Italy. I came back and put them on various mediums and this one ("Lovers") became my headboard." "This is a soft sculpture by Rukiya. She lives and works in New Orleans and created this doll as her reaction to Hurricane Katrina." "I was at an antique shop and found an old brown walking stick. I painted it and had it framed in a box." "The gong is from China. It used to be inside, but everybody who came through felt they had to hit it. Now it’s outside, and at least they’re considerate of the neighbors." "This has 20 years of paint on it, so I had it framed. It's not something you want to throw away — it's got lots of memories and history."
 

For most people, home is where the heart is. But for Gale Fulton Ross, home is where the “art” is. She loves finding objects such as walking sticks, doors and tray tables, painting them and hanging them on the wall. Even her painting palette is framed and on display.

“My style is based on the fact that this place is my sanctuary, my home,” Fulton Ross says. “It’s very personal.”
