Send your healing thoughts and positive vibes to Gerry Hess, Medullary Studios!

It is always the intent on this page to share inherent beauty, most often of our favorite medium, wood, usually as displayed in handcrafted pieces. Today however, the best we can offer is the image of some flowering, woody plants.

The veritable storm of world events changes all that we do, and it is an easy thing to cling to and mourn those things that are withheld; interaction with the Artists' community in the Park Trades Center, the chance to meet friends, guests, and visitors, in our showcase studio for Art Hop, so that we can converse, conspire, inspire, aspire, and problem solve together. These may, or may not, come back to us in the in-determinant future. We will all adapt and change as we need.

Sadly, it is yet one more of these challenging events which is the cause of so few social media posts from Medullary Studios: I have seriously injured my back, soon I will need to have surgery to repair the damage. After the healing and recovery time, I will need to change and adapt my work habits and processes to reflect my own personal "new normal" (and yes I hate that phrase as much as all of you do).

Medullary Studios the business, and the business plan behind it are strong, complete, solvent, and ongoing. We are still here. We are not going anywhere. We have a variety of partially completed projects "in the pipeline", all of those projects will be completed and delivered, albeit on an extended timeline.

So please, stay safe, look for the beauty around us, and Medullary Studios will be back shortly!
