Don't forget, we are now in Alexandria, OH!

Located on Main Street in Alexandria, Ohio, Sunbear is the working studio for Meredith Martin, pastel artist, and also a gallery dedicated to showing the original work of local and Ohio artists. Showcasing a group of talented people’s creations, including photographers Aimee Lambes and Ruth Smilan, stained glass artists Kurt and Lorry Wendling, craft artist Sarah Williams, watercolorist Fran Mangino and jewelers Bonnie Moseley, Deirdre Pifer, and Laurie Simpson. These artists are ‘regulars’ at the studio and their beautiful works are consistently available to collectors, while new work is presented bimonthly. You can explore more information about these and other artists along with images of their work on our “Artist Profiles” page.

It’s all part of a lively two or three day event. Sunbear events are open to the public, and information is always available on the website and on Facebook.
