Local artisans’ work on display at Inland Bays Garden Center

Just in time for Mother’s Day, the Inland Bays Garden Center is showcasing works by three local artists with a unique perspective on the beauty of nature found in coastal Delaware.

Joan Applebaum creates one-of-a-kind, hand-painted silk scarves and wall hangings combining the traditional serti technique with modern methods such as tie-dye. Original watercolors, acrylic paintings and notecards reflect landscapes and nature themes.

John Iampieri brings the functional art form of screen painting to life. Using a tear-resistant super screen material, he paints on any type of screen of any size. Several screens and wall hangings will be displayed throughout the garden center.

Kerry Stewart makes Mayflower Shaped Artisanal Soaps. Each soap has a distinctive color created by using herbal and plant infusions or organic earth clays. The soaps are scented using 100 percent pure essential oils. Of special interest are gardener soaps containing exfoliants such as ground oatmeal, pumice, coffee grounds and poppy seeds.

Inland Bays Garden Center is at 38320 Muddy Neck Road, Frankford.
