Upcoming show : Find Way with artist William Paul Gaetjens

William Paul Gaetjens was born in Long Beach, CA, in 1946, to a family with a long tradition of working in metal. An early interest in art led to a creative mastery of the medium, with studies at the California College of Arts and Crafts and The DeYoung Museum School. In the 1970's, he worked as an iron worker on the Alaskan Pipeline. This real world experience influences his art today.

new design release : stone with featured artist Jaume Pinya

Heavybubble has released a new design called stone.

The new design includes a text option on the gallery opener. Artist Jaume Pinya of Majorca, Spain uses it to provide an description in both Catalan and English. The gallery view uses a smaller view of an entire art work. Each gallery screen contains only four images/works and includes links to the next and previous four images. The design centers in browser window.

Mr Pinya cleverly used a gallery opener to create a statement screen that included two photos.
