Fine Art, Craft & Wine
On Saturday, December 8, we will have a trunk show with Moonrise Jewelry designer Meredith Lusk
from Cape Charles,VA. Meredith is a talented artist who uses natural elements in her designs. She does amazing creations with Fish Peel and Real Orchids. Meredith will be here from 11 to 4. Check Meredith’s website to see new items she will offer.
During December Helene English will be featured in our front gallery. Her paintings are so lively it is hard not to smile and chuckle about what story Helene is “telling.” She paints with very clean lines capturing things she captures in the world around her – pets, boats and even manhole covers! She will be here to tell her tales!

Our featured artist in November has been with us for 15 years. Scot Dolby continues to find memorable landscapes wherever he travels but particularly when he is looking for the perfect fishing stream. Come see his most recent work. We will be tasting wines from Bolivia.
Our featured artist in November has been with us for 15 years. Scot Dolby continues to find memorable landscapes wherever he travels but particularly when he is looking for the perfect fishing stream. His show, A View from a Stream, is inspired by great fly-fishing areas from Montana, Maine, Vermont to the Eastern Shore. As he finds a perfect stream Scot does not forget the beauty of the surrounding landscape. He actually carries that memory back home to his studio. His tonal style makes these discovered landscapes so serene. They seem to carry forth a surrounding calm that attracts the fish and the fisherman. The opening reception is First Friday, November 2 from 5 until 8.
Visit with July’s featured artist, Maurice Sevigny, to find out more about his current show and his approach to his unique jewelry designs. 
Maurice Sevigny, July’s featured artist will be in the gallery for the opening of his show. He will show new acrylic and mixed media paintings and fresh jewelry designs.
To bring summer colors to Bishop’s Stock we are featuring paintings and jewelry by Maurice Sevigny in July. Maurice is retired from his distinguished career in fine arts education (The University of Arizona, University of Texas at Austin, Bowling Green University and Western Kentucky University) but retirement has given him more time to maintain his active visual arts and jewelry studios in both Tucson, Arizona (November to June) and at his summer/fall residence in Salisbury. Travel inspires his work. He is known for his very colorful mixed media adaptations of figurative and landscape images. His art inspires his “one-of-a-kind” jewelry designs that mix beading materials from multiple cultures. At the opening on July 6, Maurice will have a lovely selection of his unique designs as he will on Saturday, July 21 as our Artist-in-Residence. Our First Friday reception is from 5 until 8 with tastings of wine from South Africa. Check Maurice’s website to find out more about his work in fine arts.
Surrounded by Angela’s recent show you will be working on developing surface variations.
If you have not collaged, we will be gluing different papers on paper & canvas and exploring the difference that happens by adding them to your paintings. We will use several techniques to arrive at finished work by the end of the lesson.
This workshop is for beginners, as well as others who already have developed work. Call Bishop’s Stock to register or contact Angela at alherberthodges@gmail.com. or call Bishop’s Stock at 410-632-3555.
Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride filled the gallery with new work each April. They show images from their travels and from everyday walks on the beach. This provides a great opportunity to see the largest selection these talented artists show in one space. Come visit at the reception to hear about their travels to Cuba and Texas.
Since Paint Snow Hill days I have remained fascinated by the diverse talents of artists who paint "en plein air." The history of plein air painting is based on the desire for French artists in the mid-800s to … Read More...
