“I find inspiration on the drive to work each day. I take great care to hand-select the gemstones and beads I use in my creations, some of which can take weeks, months, or years to find just the right fit in a piece of work. I also delight in re-purposing vintage finds into new, original work.”

Dragonfly Gems is located on Main Street, in the heart of Sperryville, Virginia, one of the quaintest towns in the northern Piedmont region.

"Pastels and Lace" by Kathy Waller Stewart

December 5, 2025 - January 18, 2026

Middle Street Gallery 
311 Gay Street, Lower Level, facing Main Street & across from Ballard’s Gallery Washington, VA 22747 540-227-5066

Hours: Friday - Sunday, 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Kathy says, "My role as an artist is that of translator. No two beings process their sensory input from the world around us in the same exact way. When I apply paint to a surface, I am revealing an intimate experience that I alone am processing. The result, which is the painting, bridges that space shared by the viewer and me. This communication is my inspiration, and it is why I create art.
I work in oils and occasionally in mixed media. I am artistically motivated by many sources including nature, objects and the human figure. I am influence by medieval art, post-impressionism and contemporary realism."

This show consists of figurative pastels and multimedia paintings featuring lace.
