Art In The Village - Featured Artist . Abby Miller (@abbymillerfineart) is a self-taught artist born in Southern California in 1994. She was brought up by two nature-loving parents who saw the value in teaching their children about the beauty of nature. Abby began drawing and painting at a young age, but only recently started pursuing art. Growing up, she spent summers in the Eastern Sierras with her family, self-named The Village. Members of The Village taught her to appreciate and value Mother Nature. Nature is the most significant influence in her drawings. Abby is exploring her creativity through the eyes of Mother Nature and seeking out the beauty she holds. . . Abby Miller https://www.abbymillerfineart.com/ @abbymillerfineart . .

Art In The Village - Featured Artist . Donjo, the internationally renowned artist-sculptor was born in Chicago in 1949 and raised in Southern California. This remarkable artist, known for his work on endangered species, was introduced to sculpture at the age of eleven and put himself through school by selling his bronze works at weekend art shows. In 1987, he began to focus exclusively on sculpting with a strong emphasis on marine life. In his new line of exquisitely detailed marine life sculptures, Donjo captures the true essence of the sea in Bronze and Copper Fill. . Donjo Designs http://www.donjo.net/ ........

Art In The Village - Featured Artist . Robin Rodig aka @RobinGoesTo left her job in 2012 without having a new one, not knowing where her next paycheck would come from, and listened to her gut. And her gut ached for adventure. She booked a flat for a month in the beautiful Bernese Oberland in Switzerland, hiked and Trotti-biked the Alps, ingested an embarrassing amount of cheese, and never looked back. The photos and artwork in the RobinGoesTo store are solely derived and inspired by her travels. A picture is worth a thousand words, but in combination with storytelling in her blog, she aspires to take you there; to share the everyday, unpretentious, wondrous experiences with you through fresh eyes. So the journey continues. She travels for all of us who want to drift away, explore, escape, if even for just those 10 minutes to read the latest post. At the RobinGoesTo store, you might even find a souvenir to take home. Here's to all of us living the dream. No matter what that dream is. . RobinGoesTo http://robingoesto.com .

Everyone is excited about Disney's recent announcement of the 'The Lion King' remake jam-packed with stars like Beyonce, Donald Glover, and John Oliver. This week we are bringing the original to Flicks at the Fountain. It's a two time Oscar winner, one of the highest grossing animated films of all time, a gem, a classic, and a marvel. See you guys tomorrow! #flicksatthefountain
