For over 30 years we have opened our home during the Holidays to explore our gallery of gifts and creations from our own studio and around the world.  As of last month, we are so excited to announce that we have opened a Cafe to compliment our gift shop and gallery, a long time vision and dream of Victoria Koehn.  With a traditional Bavarian themed menu, we hope this will only add to the experience and excitement each one our our guests receives when they visit us.  We have also added  a dinning terrace over the Spring which overlooks the beautiful Nine-Mile Wetlands in South Euclid, OH –  the experience is quite serene!

HOURS:

Wednesday – Saturday

11am – 5:30pm

Reservations are not required, but recommended for parties of 4 or more.  Join us rain or shine, as we have converted or Studio into a relaxing place to sip from over 70 teas while enjoying small bites and pastries.

A look at the opening reception for the Spoke in Wood exhibit at the Mansfield Art Center in Mansfield, Ohio.  Norbert and Victoria Koehn were selected among a small community of artists with the primary medium being wood.  The show runs from June 7th – July 19th, more information can be found at: http://www.mansfieldartcenter.org/

“While at times in figurative work a demonstration of technical skill can obscure the intended content of the piece, the Koehn’s expressionistic sculptures go right to the essence of the human spirit, while never denying the material from which they are hewn.” – Mansfield Art Center

In a new series depicting scenes from painter, Aaron Koehn’s childhood, he captures and interprets the experience of a football practice.  Aaron Koehn’s paintings and drawings attribute themselves to the structure of events and the layers of depth and thought behind self-definition, through individual and group interaction.  Inserting new interpretations on time and place through rewriting the spatial narrative of memories and experiences. Depth, behind texture, light and shadow is a steady theme in his work.  More work and information on Aaron Koehn can be viewed at: http://web.mac.com/aaronkoehn/

Rarely do we get a chance to document our process, but with such a meaningful commission, we felt the need to show you this exciting process of transformation.  The 24′ long bass wood relief consists of 3 8′ long panels that are recessed into the wall. Designed and created specifically for the Nicu unit at University Hospitals in Cleveland, the relief depicts children at rest with domestic and exotic creatures in a playful, whimsical and calming composition. The wood, in part left natural, is lightly washed with soothing colors that reflect a harmonious sense of peace and calm for the viewer. This sculpture invites the viewer to gently touch and stroke the wood with gentle hands to further enhance a calming and healing experience.
