KEY GALLERIES ART GALLERIES can yield incredible, one-of-akind gifts. Located in the Historic Third Ward, KATIE GINGRASS GALLERY has moved from its long-time Broadway location to the Marshall Building at 207 E. Buffalo St. On display through Nov. 16 are paintings by "Wisconsin's own American Impressionist" Tom Nachreiner. (Examples of Nachreiner's work are shown on this page.) RIVERVIEW ANTIQUE MARKET, 175 S. Water St. just across the Milwaukee River from the Historic Third Ward, is the destination for vintage art and photos from the area's leading antique dealers and decorators. The market is open seven days a week, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Especially during the holidays, we love to head north to historic Cedarburg, just 30 minutes north of downtown. A new favorite stop is ELVIA'S ARTEGALLERY BOUTIQUE, located at the Washington Avenue Shoppes, W62 N590 Washington Ave., in the heart of Cedarburg. Owner Elvia Pena-Savage creates beautiful works of art in watercolors, acrylics and oils. The colors used in the abstract artworks range from strident bolds to dreamlike pales, but every artwork beckons to the visitor. Clearly, the longer you spend with Penn-Savage's work, the more you see. An example of her artwork is on the following page. Contact the gallery at 262-388-4507. Also in Cedarburg, don't miss THE PINK LLAMA GALLERY (thepinkllama.com) which has an address of W62 N580 Washington Ave., but is entered through the rear porch across the street from the red and white pagoda. The gallery features fine art, accessories and more. CEDAR CREEK POTTERY in Cedarburg's Cedar Creek Settlement features handcrafted work of artists from Wisconsin and beyond. Also in the historic Settlement, LA DIVA offers jewelry crafted by the owner and features artwork that is perfect for gifts. For years, LEAP OF FAITH has been inspiring visitors with its nurturing atmosphere and artwork from around the world. Owner Patricia Lietzke is retiring, however, and the gallery closes at the end of 2013. "Gentle discounts" are planned on remaining inventory, starting this month. 36
