Catherine Labonte -- Cat Designer Verrier
Catherine Labonte was fascinated by cartoons as a child and eventually began to draw her own characters. While studying fine art she continued to be inspired by her small characters and wanted to bring three dimensionality to them. She chose to work in glass because of the simple lines, the brightness, it’s translucent and colorful nature as well as the technical challenges it presents.

Susy Siegele and Michael Haley colored porcelain
"The use of the human figure and the stylized animal motif has been a recurrent theme in art, especially in pottery making, for thousands of years. We are lucky enough to live in a time and place in which we can see images of this long tradition almost instantaneously, either in person, in books, or over the Internet. We are inspired by the cave paintings of Lascaux and Altamira, by petroglyphs from the desert southwest, the Anasazi culture and the Tassili region of southern Algeria, and by pictographs from Zimbabwe and South Africa, not to mention the use of figures in Grecian and Mayan pottery." ~ Susy and Mike

Meet the Cedar Creek Gallery Staff:
Les Webster
|
|
|
|
|
Les recently earned his Masters degree in Business Design and Arts Leadership from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While taking one final class for his degree, Les decided he wanted to work at Cedar Creek. Les had been a longtime customer and he and his wife, Nancy, share fond memories of buying her engagement ring here many years ago. Les and Nancy, who's also a touring Broadway musician, share their home and bucolic landscape with Brodie, a 75-pound Catahoula Leopard dog.
Les has become the gallery's social media guru and we are thrilled he came to work with us a year ago this month.
|
|
|
|
|
When Les is not behind the counter at Cedar Creek Gallery he can be found in the orchestra pit of a touring Broadway show as a drummer/percussionist, sometimes playing as many as 30 different percussion instruments!
