The results of this carefully planned collabo- ration to help celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Sanibel Gallery was the highly successful exhi- bition of large garden sculpture: Jane Crume Valtin and her Garden Spirits. This well-attended one-woman exhibition coincidentally occurred on the exact day of Liber's third anniversary ownership of Sanibel Gallery. This is a bright, light and airy gallery filled to the brim with interesting paintings, sculptures, handcrafted jewelry, masterfully painted tiles, gifts and goodies galore. Liber said when she took over the gallery, one of her main objectives was to add more three dimensional works. This she has done. There is a wonderful line of soft sculpture animals by Karen Barnes. Each one has its own witty per- sonality and is an example of impeccable work- manship. You will find an animal to treasure, and it should definitely become the object of many party conversations. Your sculpture might be a version of a cat, dog, bunny, or even a jersey cow.
