Birdz Returning

Watercolors by Lois Barber In 2013, while painting a watercolor landscape in Provence, Lois Barber tested her colors on a vertical strip of paper taped to her easel. A few weeks later, the test strip fell from her portfolio and landed horizontally on her desk. In an instant, she saw the strip of colors as a collection of birds and added a few pen strokes to bring them to life. Soon to follow were a series of joyful and whimsical paintings called, “Birdz of a Feather.” "Birdz Returning" i...

Inspired Shop Features Art From Local Artists

This is one of my favorite shops! If you are looking for a specially made scarf, art, pottery, glass, furniture, paper, woven items, leather, jewelry, this is the place to go. Although there are many pieces here that are super cool to give as gifts, you will find the store has many items that you would like to keep for yourself. It is a great place to go to be introduced to artists in the area who might make something custom for you too. Trip Advisor user - HappyTravelMidwest

Definitely Stop Here if You’re Looking for Gifts!

I live in Bloomington, and this is one of two shops here in town where I always go when I need a gift for someone (or for myself). The shop always has a great selection of products from a variety of artists, and the selection is always rotating so you'll have new things to choose from every time you go in. I've also always been really pleased by the price range of the products, as well. It seems like they really do their best to stock items at a range of price points, which is a really go...
