Mel Garbark Estate Art Sale

 
When Mel Garbark passed away last year there were 90 completed works of art remaining in his studio. Thanks to his daughter Gale Dillon, the executrice for his estate, these are being offered through the Icehouse in a special exhibition. It is an honor to be representing the estate because Mel was such a good friend to the Guild and to many artists throughout the region. We have sold 40 of these works to date. Most of the remaining works are listed below. 
 
These original paintings vary in size from small to large and all are painted on panels with acrylic paint. All works are professionally framed and ready to display. These are shipped inside masonite panels with foam or paper protection for the frames. All paintings are subject to prior sale.
 
  Email the gallery at icehousearts@att for more information
on any of the works shown on this page.
