Rick Tino's Gallery in Gulf Shores, AL
Last weekend we took a ride down to Gulf Shores, to check out and take work to Rick Tino's new gallery, Tino's Fine Art & Frames. Rick, who lives in Gulf Shores, has been dealing with various frame shops and galleries in the area for years. He noticed that increasingly these places have been gravitating toward selling mainstream art, prints and work that one could find anywhere else.
So when Rick decided last year that he wanted to open a gallery again, he wanted to offer something unusual in a market that increasingly lacked distinctiveness. In his words, his vision was to create something less commonplace, an "oasis for beauty and things that are well made by local artists."
Rick has invited artists who he feels would help him achieve his vision, offering an eclectic range of work from quality functional pottery to one-of-a-kind two- and three-dimensional works of art. Featured local artists are Laura Hensley(Glass), David Atwood (Glass), Chris Hartsfield (Realism Painter - Watercolor & Giclee Prints), Tommy Cannon (Oil) , Sea Oats Studio - Steve & Dee Burrow (Stoneware Pottery), Wilodean Brown (Pencil, Pen and Ink), Anne Webb & Lowell Webb (Stoneware, Raku, & Primitive-Fired Pottery), and Rick Tino (Acrylic, Watercolor, Gouache).
Feel free to contact Rick for more info, directions, or better yet, drop by when you're in the area!
