Lizzard’s Art Gallery and Framing

Lizzard’s is out to frame you. No, they aren’t going to plant some incriminating evidence on you and come up with a pretext for a search. No, they want you to search for anything iconic or even ironic and put it in a nice frame behind glass. This could be art, diplomas, posters, or some disputed bill you will never pay. Of course, they are also a gallery, putting on display various works from local artists. As you would expect, there are the painters. Some paint nature and some paint people. Alberta Marana has a painting that sort-of morphs between nature and a person as you keep staring at it. There are many abstract paintings and many concrete images painted abstractly. The gallery also features ceramics, blown glass, cast metal and other means to bring the imagination into three dimensional space. For over a decade the Tweed Museum of Art and Lizzard’s have duked it out for top honors in the area, often swapping positions year in and year out. Of course, the REAL winner is the public, blessed with an abundance of arts in our community.
