Dear Community,
Summertime is in full swing here in the sunny state. It's that time of year we all strive to relax and unwind a little from the hustle and bustle of the busy in-season months. It's time for family picnics and outdoor get togethers. It's time for potlucks and barbecues and quality time with loved ones. It's time for less work and more play.

Now that life has slowed a little since summer started, it's the perfect time to redecorate or take on a home project. Steller Art Works can change the entire look and feel of a room in your house with a piece of art. Just speak with Tim about what kind of energy you want in that room (let your imagination run wild!), and he will masterfully create a custom wooden piece of artwork that will set the vibe, complete with mood lighting and all.
Steller Art Works is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Main St and Lemon Ave.
