Xyldia Grace Thomas, a local photographer and collector, has recently opened her shop Xyldia Grace Originals inside of Cottage Antiques on Lee Lane. The room features local art and unique collectable items, including sterling jewelry, religious art & medals, rosaries, and various Christmas items.
Xyldia Grace has developed a love and style for photography since a young child. Some select prints are ‘brought to life’ with the addition of oil painting to her work. Xyldia Grace meticulously adds detail colors to her black & white prints, either subtle pastels or bold metalic colors, all painstakingly hand painted. This style adds a realistic feel to her art, giving one the sense of ‘being there’ in the shot. Prints are available as well as custom framing.
