Elijah Kell’s pieces emerge through a meticulous process of layering hand-cut and crushed glass, balancing careful planning with the unexpected. Guided by both precision and spontaneity, his work transforms raw materials into luminous forms rich with color, depth, and movement.

Oh, what a night! ✨
Our Artistic Palate event was an incredible success, bringing together art, food, poetry, and music for a truly immersive experience. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special.
A heartfelt thank you to our featured artists—Peg Bachenheimer, Elijah Kell, Carol Retsch-Bogart, Sasha Bakaric, and Clarke Munford—whose inspiring work served as the foundation for the evening.
We are also deeply grateful to Chef Jacob Boehm of Snappea Creative Dining for his imaginative culinary creations inspired by each artist’s work; Carrboro Poet Laureate Dr. Amanda Bennett for her moving poetry; and the Assemblage Trio—Howard Shertzer, Ellen Shertzer, and Ellen Horner—for their beautiful art-inspired performance. Together, they elevated the experience and created a memorable feast for the senses.
Thank you for joining us and celebrating the power of creativity!
