WELCOME
Welcome to Hawkmoth Arts Studio and Gallery. Owner and resident artist Sandy Gray-Murray adds a creative flair to the winery space. The work you will see when you visit is largely inspired by the vineyard / winery and surrounding landscape. A large portion of the work is created using leaves from the estate vineyard and property which are pressed into clay. Each leaf is hand cut and hand crafted into a variety of bowls, trays, and hanging pieces. You will also see pieces of wine barrel, tendrils and canes from the vines and other wine related imagery. A large amount of the work is mixed media; including: clay, encaustic, cast tin, etched glass, acrylic paint and more. If you love nature, you will love this work.
