Fairweather House and Gallery has become one of the historic Gilbert District’s sought-after destinations offering an ever-changing unique visual experience.” — Seaside Signal

It was a stormy ocean evening, one any tried sailor would be wary of traveling in. To my bewilderment, only for an instant, when the Lichen lightning illuminated the wild and dark Pansy sky, did I observe the unknown creature I call the “Electric Sea Serpent” surface. Their gargantuan Hydrangea foliage body rippled in and out of the frothy Hydrangea petal waves. Their radiating Tulip tipped tails and scales pulsed with kinetic energy, no doubt being harnessed from the violent storm, all the way to the tip of their pollen puff antennae. With its eyes wide open and teeth barred, I knew this creature was a force to be reckoned with, but somehow, it drew me in closer and closer. Was it the red Rose trim on the mouth, the innocence of those lines, or its sheer power of magnetism... the story continues at the Fairweather opening reception on August 5th…
