I want to personally invite you to meet famed interior design guru Lynette Jennings and acclaimed Raku artist Jim Romberg at the opening reception for our new show: "Fire and Earth." This multi-faceted show examines the diverse aspects of an artist's work in relation to earth, fire, sky and water, both as subject matter and medium.
Lynette is most known for her books and famed interior design television show "Lynette Jennings's Design" on the Home and Garden Network. it was while in LA watching the early version of Bob Villa's how-to series, and already convinced of the need for the basic aesthetic education in popular culture, that she formulated her own consumer education project: a television show that taught America about architecture, design and art in approachable terms. Her 1985 debut on CBC Canada and on US cable, the then new Discovery Channel, broke the rules and the records. The show shot to the top of the daytime ratings and stayed there. What was intended to be a short termed media project in consumer arts education exploded into 18 years of twice daily/5 days per week broadcast, reaching 37 countries. She produced and performed over 500 shows/4500 segments featuring architects, designers and artists in the US, Canada, France and Italy and is seen as the founder of design and home improvement television today.
In 2002, at age 54, Lynette retired her incredibly prolific career to build her dream ranch, a program development facility for her arts foundation, Lynette Jennings Foundation, Arts for Life - it's mission, to integrate arts with society. She now brings her extensive design knowledge and creativity to her art.
Goldenstein Gallery will present new paintings by Lynette from her collector acclaimed and passionate Earth Series. 
Lynette's husband, renowned raku artist Jim Romberg, has been creating fine ceramics for over 30 years. His sophisticated pieces are awash with light and color reflecting a stunning world that has been captured.
If you live in Arizona, you can catch a sneak peek of both Lynette and her work on morning show AM Arizona on Wednesday June 1st. AM Arizona airs live daily on Channel 7 in Northern Arizona or Channel 13 in Southern Arizona at 10am.
Jim's work is in a large number of permanent collections including the Boise Museum of Art (Boise, ID); Marer Collection of American Ceramics, Scripps College (Claremont, CA); Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, AZ); and the City of Geneva Municipal Collection (Geneva, Switzerland).
We kick off "Fire and Earth" on the SGA 1st Friday Gallery Tour on June 3rd from 5-8pm. Local favorites the musical duo Frost & Frost will play .
This exhibition runs through June but special pricing is available on First Friday.
