O'Toole Gallery

Fort Worth artist, Ken O'Toole, announces the launch of his new website O'Toole Gallery.com which showcases functional abstract artworks. Working with the same techniques that some artists use to make jewelry, O'Toole produces various vessels by covering plain glass objects with a thin veneer of his polymer designs. The finished item, whether a vase or the handy salt and pepper "Art Shakers" as he calls them, is a miniature abstract painting. Although palettes and patterns inevitably occur, each item is hand-crafted, so each is unique. For a closer look, visit the new website, or mark your calendar for May 9th, when Ken will display his functional abstracts at the Fairmont Home Tour, Ft. Worth.
