Abode Gallery Introduces the Artistry of Howard A. Schroeder

We're pleased to welcome the work of Howard S. Schroeder to our gallery.

The third of six children born to an artistic family, Howard was born and raised in Lewes, DE. His father, Howard S. Schroeder, was a renowned painter in the Middle Atlantic States.


Howard is married, with two children and one grandchild, all residing in MN. Prior to moving to Minnesota, he lived 32 years in Chapel Hill, NC.


Howard started sculpting in 1972 while stationed in Winter Harbor, ME, while serving in the Navy.  Upon discharge from the Navy, Howard settled in North Carolina and spent his wage earning years as a tennis pro and father.


After a two year hiatus of moving and settling in to a home in Northfield, MN, he is excited to be resuming the art he loves and is thrilled to be part of our family of artists.


These pieces are exquisite, and possess a sensual quality. 


The video above showcases more of Howard's work, which is available at Abode Gallery, Stockholm, WI.

New to Abode Gallery: Honeycombed Calcite Wine Racks (and Granite Candles are back)



Look at the honeycombed appearance of this stone. Stone artist, Richard Erickson, just dropped off these amazing new pieces to the Abode Gallery. 

Last year his granite candles were a huge hit.  He just left a couple of candles and several granite wine racks. See more of these gorgeous pieces in the video below.  

These wine racks are made from honeycombed calcite, a rare stone that is only found in Utah.  The stone has a honeycombed appearance and distinctive character.  Richard maintains the natural form and polishes his pieces beautifully. 


The candles that we had in last year were gone quickly.  I encourage you to stop by this weekend and see these wine racks in person. You’ll be glad you did. And please pass the word along to your friends.
