In a 7th grade class called Connections, the class experimented with some American arts.
Specifically with this item, the students discovered how Esther Niesenthal Krinitz used embroidery to tell her story of growing up in Poland during the Holocaust and about how quilts were possibly used as secret codes on the Underground Railroad. After the 7th Grade Class mastered at least three kinds of stitches, they designed, embroidered, and sewed a Nichols quilt.
On the quilt, you will see the students love of skiing, Nichols sports, the arts, the Sabres, the Bills, and of course, the fro-yo machine. They hope someone treasures this quilt celebrating Nichols community and Nichols HEART as much as they did making it.

Double Matted and Framed with Archival Glass, this serigraph-silkscreen print entitled "Opeongo Red" by Bruce Herchenrader is truly uniquely beautiful.
"I took a trip to Algonquin Park with my children, Tegan and Pearce, niece and nephew, Matthew and Emily in 1996. We paddled up Lake Opeongo from the entrance and camped on the spit of land that marks the right hand channel of the lake as it branches to the east. I stood in the water up to my neck with a pre digital film camera, taking photographic studies that I used to create this serigraph "Opeongo Red." The sunset one evening was awesome. The red light permeated everything. I've captured the moment when the sunset was at its brightest cusp as only moments later the glow was gone.
This serigraph was part of the environmental achievement award that the magazine Equinox gave each year to an outstanding achievement by those individuals that were working to preserve the environment. The individual who spearheaded the conservationist movement to stop the Geddes open pit mine at the river's headwaters and lobbied the B.C. government to set aside the Tatshenshini River watershed asked for this one specifically. He told me that it was the canoe trips with his father on Lake Opeongo when he was a boy that got him involved in the preservation of the wilderness. The Tatshenshini Provincial Park, Kluane National Park in the Yukon and Glacier Park in Alaska form the largest wilderness preserve in the world. Hearing him recount his story and the importance of this image to him was a humbling moment for me."

A wine that always has a mind and signature of its own, Machete has been our foray into the world of California Petite Sirah.

2021 Machete opens with decadent aromas of blue and black fruits, charred meat, a hint of funk and troves of minerality. The entry is more dense than expected with notes of black plum, other stone fruit s and essence of game but yet tempered and balanced by candied orange peel and leveled acidity .

"Catching a piece of history" is more than just a phrase when it comes to the glove of goaltender Dominik Hasek. Widely regarded as one of the best goaltenders of all time, Hasek spent most of his 16 year career with the Buffalo Sabres, but also played for the Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, and the Ottawa Senators. He won two Stanley Cup championships with the Red Wings, and is a two-time recipient of the Hart Trophy (NHL MVP). Hasek's unique style and quick glove hand helped him bring home the gold medal to his native Czech Republic during the 1998 Winter Olympics. Since his retirement in 2012, Hasek was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, had his number retired by the Sabres, and was named one of the '100 Greatest NHL Players' in history. With five Vezina Trophies (NHL's top goaltender) tucked away in his webbing, Hasek's glove will forever be remembered as part of an arsenal worn by the most feared netminder of his time.

Adorn the halls of your home with this LeRoi Johnson original painting!
Johnson is a Buffalo born and based visual artist who works as a lawyer by day, and has established himself as an accomplished artist locally and internationally. Aside from taking a commercial art class at Hutchinson Technical High School, Johnson received very minimal formal training. Upon graduating high school, he attended Canisius College, then left Buffalo to attend Georgetown University Law School in Washington, DC.
Johnson ultimately left Washington, DC to go on the road and manage his brother, singer Rick James. During this ten-year tour period, he was not painting. Despite the hiatus, he made it a point to still surround himself with art and notable artists. He was a regular in the elite Studio 54 nightclub, where he would mingle with artists like Michael Jackson, Andy Warhol, and Prince.
He quickly established himself within the city's art community, exhibiting in local galleries and across the nation. He has served on the boards of the Burchfield Penney Art Center and the Buffalo Society of Artists. In 2019 Johnson's work was included in the London Biennial.

Class of 2027, Nichols eighth graders splashed, dotted, salted, and dropped watercolor paints to create an abstract background.

This work is made using archival papers and materials and measures 18 inches x 24 inches. This piece is framed and ready to hang!
