MEMORABLE MOTHER’S DAY GIFTS
AT A MANO GALLERIES
NEW HOPE, PA (March 10, 2008) — Finding
an affordable, yet one-of-a-kind gift for the important
women in your life this Mother’s Day is easy and
enjoyable at A Mano Galleries in New Hope, Pennsylvania
and Lambertville, New Jersey. Representing thousands of
fine artists and craftspeople from across the country,
A Mano specializes in quality, handmade jewelry and lifestyle
accessories for the home and office.
“ Why buy flowers that fade, when
for the same price you can get exquisite floral earrings
that your mother will treasure forever?” asks Ana
Leyland, owner of A Mano Galleries. “From whimsical
night lights to sculptural tabletop fountains, thoughtful
Mother’s Day surprises are available in all price
ranges at A Mano.
Among the favorite items this spring:
Lumberville, Pennsylvania-based metalsmith Sherry Tinsman
finds inspiration in the natural elements she experiences
living along the Delaware River. Spirals and flowers with
rounded edges characterize h er sterling silver and 14K
gold jewelry with occasional brass and copper accents.
Her dogwood, daisy and rose designs are incredibly versatile—perfect
to dress up jeans and a sweater or to enhance an elegant
cocktail dress. Prices range from $22.00 to $300.00.
These practical yet artistic night lights are meticulously
handmade by a three-person team in a cozy Seattle, Washington
workshop. They begin as vibrant pastel and colored pencil
drawings, photographically reproduced onto durable, translucent,
heat and light-resistant plastic film. Each “luminette” is
housed in a fanciful hand-textured copper frame, illuminated
by a bulb. The innumerable designs include imaginative
interpretations of penguins, toucans, Noah’s Ark,
sheep, hearts and flowers. Price: $45.00.
A tabletop fountain brings the soothing sounds of nature
indoors. Small submersible pumps circulate the water in
6 x 4 x 4 inch sculptural fountains handmade in Clinton,
Connecticut. In colors of bronze, black and green, the
Mother and Child fountain exhibits the pair with clasped
hands surrounding a rolling glass ball, gently aglow with
LED lights. Price: $38.00.
Sticks has received national acclaim for distinctive
furniture, accessories and object art. A Mano carries a
wide selection from the Sticks line, including decorative
7 x 7 inch plaques. Amusing and inspiring mottos, lively
colors and charming themes are applied to birch, poplar
or driftwood with creativity and craftsmanship in their
Des Moines, Iowa studio. Price: $110.00.
A Mano Galleries is located at 128 South Main Street

A MANO
GALLERIES CELEBRATES SHAD FEST WITH APPEARANCES AND DEMONSTRATIONS
FROM TWO ARTISTS
LAMBERTVILLE, NJ (April 14, 2008) — A
Mano Galleries celebrates the Shad
Festival in Lambertville
on April 26 and 27, 2008 with special appearances by Gyotaku
printmaking artist David Denick and jewelry craftswoman Sherry
Tinsman. Both artists will display their latest
work at A Mano’s Lambertville location at 42 North
Union Street.
“David Denick’s Japanese-style fish prints
make a perfect Shad
Fest souvenir or Father’s Day
gift to cherish for years to come,” says Ana Leyland,
who with her husband Martin has represented more than 1,200
artists at their two galleries over the past 26 years. “Our
customers also enjoy this annual visit from floral jewelry
designer Sherry
Tinsman. This is a great opportunity to
purchase one-of-a-kind creations, and to meet and greet
the artists.”
An avid fisherman, David Denick of Columbus, New Jersey
creates fish prints through the ancient Japanese technique
of Gyotaku. A lifelike print of a fish is produced by applying
ink directly to the animal’s surface and hand rubbing
it to reveal the image on rice paper. Using Berol Prismacolor
pencils, Mr. Denick touches up the resulting art work,
and enables his favorite catches to achieve immortality.
The artist offers demonstrations of this fascinating technique
at A Mano on both Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April
27 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Lumberville, Pennsylvania-based metalsmith Sherry Tinsman

“HALLELUJAH LADY” LIMITED
EDITION SCULPTURE AT A MANO GALLERIES SUPPORTS FIGHT
AGAINST BREAST CANCER
LAMBERTVILLE, NJ (April 2008) — A
Mano Galleries in Lambertville, New Jersey, serves as a
distributor of a special edition Sticks, Inc. sculpture
created to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer.
From April through October 2008, $100 for each purchase
of a “Hallelujah
Lady” by Sticks goes directly
to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
“The Hallelujah
Lady personifies the celebration
of life and being a woman,” said Sarah Grant, the
owner and creative director for Sticks. “Most everyone
has been impacted in some way by breast cancer. I am thrilled
to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure as their efforts
to advance breast cancer research, education and treatment
are unparalleled.”
The “Hallelujah
Lady” is a sculptural rendering
of a woman with her arms posed gracefully above her head
as if she is celebrating or saying “hallelujah.” A
pink ribbon is prominently incorporated into the design
work for the commemorative sculpture. The base of the vibrantly
colored piece is inscribed with such life affirming sayings
as “Have Faith,” “Be Strong” and “Hope.” The
sculpture measures 3 feet tall and is priced at $1,000.
Sticks has received national acclaim for its endlessly
imaginative line of accessories and furniture adorned with
imagery and text. Each piece is handmade at the company’s
award-winning studio in Des Moines, Iowa. All pieces are
finely crafted from birch, poplar and driftwood, and further
designed with hand drawn imagery, etched contouring and
blended paint. Many designs are also embellished with 3-D
wood components, metal, leather and fabric.
A Mano Galleries is one of the top ten distributors of
Sticks in America. The galleries are located at 42 North
Union Street in Lambertville, New Jersey (609-397-0063)
and 128 South Main Street in New Hope, Pennsylvania (215-862-5122).
Sticks object art and furniture is also available through
A Mano online at www.AManoGalleries.com.
“The Hallelujah
Lady is a great example of how
anyone can support the promise to end breast cancer and
add hope to many women’s lives,” said Katrina
McGhee, vice president of marketing at Komen for the Cure.
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G.
Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast
cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen
for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer awareness
movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s
largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and
activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure
quality care for all and energize the science to find the
cures. For more information about Susan G. Komen for the
Cure, beast health or breast cancer, visit www.komen.org or
