For the final 2 weeks of December, the featured artist is Christina Ingersoll-Mulqueen. A St. Mary’s native, Christina draws heavily on outdoor and equestrian themes in her painting. Her medium includes glass and ceramics along with canvas. There will be hand painted ceramic platters, bowls, trays, wine glasses and framed paintings available for viewing and for purchase. Great items for gift giving.
As Blue Wind owner, Rob Plant states, “Christina Mulqueen is a particularly nice choice of local artist for this time of year as her work depicts the landscapes and outdoor activities of the region and her pieces are also suitable for gifts and entertaining. The work of the Patuxent Habitat for Humanity is devoted to improving the lives for all residents within our community. Through these partnerships all can share in the rewards of living here in Southern Maryland”, continued Plant.
On display throughout the shop will be artwork of the artist, along with samplings of local foods and wines. Special additions such as signed prints from the artists and other offerings will also be included. A donation of $10 is requested for the tasting. All proceeds go directly to the programs of the Patuxent Habitat for Humanity.
Patuxent Habitat, whose stated mission is to bring people from all walks of life together in helping their neighbors to realize better lives by providing decent, affordable housing in both Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties, has built nine homes since 2003 for families who would not otherwise realize the dream of homeownership. PHH partners with local volunteers and businesses to build homes which are then purchased by the families using no-interest loans.
