Artista was formed early 2007 by three local women who wanted a permanent
venue to sell their work and to represent other artists. The gallery opened to
its first sale on First Friday in April.

Kathy Robinson Batiks
is a collection of silk, velvet, wool batik, hand-painted
jackets, scarves, wraps, purses, ties and other accessories.  Kathy creates feminine,
bohemian and eclectic pieces, all done using the traditional batik tjanting to outline the
designs before they are painted.  They are then waxed and dyed several times.  Her
designs are carried in galleries and shops across the country.

Mary Lui Yoder operating as Bound Design makes hand-bound photo albums,
coasters and journals covered in decorative patterns. Some sources are high end wall
papers, fabrics and beautiful hand made papers.  A graduate of the University of the
Arts in Industrial Design.  Yoder was a former partner in Top Spin Design which
designed, manufactured and marketed an extensive product line that was available in
Crate and Barrel, Bed Bath & Beyond and many other fine retailers nationally and
internationally.

Andrea Abrams-Herbert has retired from the partnership to focus on her personal
work.  Artista will continue to carry her jewelry. We wish her all the best!
