again and again.
In 1984 David and Julie Boone struck out
on an adventure. What began as an idea to design, create and
build birdhouses was realized; their first show being the Atlanta
Arts Festival in the Spring of 1989. The birdhouses were such
a big hit that David and Julie began traveling to art shows around
the United States and Wildcat Works took flight.
 |
Their travels gave them a chance to meet others like themselves such as blacksmiths,
glass blowers, leather craftsmen and pottery makers and the Boones decided to build a shop to
house their own work and to exhibit the work of other artisans as well.
Located in the town of Ball
Ground, in the Appalachian foothills of north central
Georgia, Wildcat on a Wing evolved into a whimsical, upscale
destination featuring the works of many artists from 38
states. Wildcat is now visited by shoppers from all
over the country and from as far away as England, France and
Russia. After getting approval from the local zoning
board in 1996, the shop, a work of art in itself, was
designed and built by the artists. |
The gallery takes its delightful name, Wildcat On A Wing, from the original birdhouse workshop/studio
that David and Julie started eleven years earlier and David's feeling that they were starting the
gallery on "a wing and a prayer".
