'Adorned' art show pics

I spent this past weekend with some very special ladies, creating, designing and adorning the Goorin Bros. Melrose Hat Shop. Renee Fontana created stunning floral, feather, and plant displays, accenting the art and merchandise exquisitely. Erin Ashford decorated the walls with her beautiful portraiture photography and mixed media pieces, which enhanced the space and complimented my paintings in perfect unison. Monique Sade Hernandez-Fuentes, our wonderful gallery assistant and Goorin merchandise expert, gave a helping hand and eye to all of our styling. The crew of the Melrose Hat Shop organized an amazing reception and were a great asset in the creation of this show. Many thanks to all the lovely ladies that made this trip, reception and installation a huge success!!!

GoorinBrothers in cooperation with the Cassel Gallery is proud to present ‘Adorned,’ a new art exhibit created by Amandalynn, Renee Fontana, and Erin Ashford.

ReneeFontana has been working as a dedicated floral designer and consultant for over 15 years. She has a passion for art and design, and has worked with Amandalynn on several interior mural installations and gallery shows, complimenting the artwork with floral sculpture. Passion coupled with experience has helped Renee deliver innovative arrangements that emphasize the symbolic relationship between art, nature, and design.
