Welcome To The NIJAQ Gallery Featuring A Diverse Array Of Art And Craft.
Works are chosen from artisans nationwide and regionally from the Ohio Valley. These functional and decorative works are offered in a variety of media: pottery, glass, metal, watercolor and more. Several pieces are one of a kind.
Represented with these artists and craftspeople are the creative works of gallery owner Jacque Dorazio- that would be me. I hold a BFA, magna cum laude, in graphic design, photography and art history. My endeavors with various media and styles have been successful for my design studio since 1984. While professional services of graphic design, furniture design, and calligraphy are an asset to this eclectic gallery you will soon discover that my obsession with creating never ceases.

The NIJAQ Gallery is located within The Speaker Shop. The Speaker Shop is our family business which began in 1973. It is a retail facility revered for custom home and professional sound and video installations. The Speaker Shop is known nationally for my husband Nick's vintage speaker repair work and background in professional audio engineering. Our son, Jason, heads up the home applications. With a background in film and a BA in English he has acquired a reputation as the guru of home theater application and technology. The store includes a museum featuring antique microphones and speakers. Take a closer look ... www.thespeakershop.com
This collaboration of art, audio and video, is quite a nice marriage of products for both sexes. While audio has always been more guy oriented and women gravitate toward art & collectibles, all are now discovering the fun of purchasing new solutions for home and office environments at The Speaker Shop and NIJAQ Gallery.
Our Featured Artist . . .
Bobbi Rullan, painter, Savannah, Georgia Bobbi's happy spirit flows through her whimsical paintings of umbrella drinks, cats and fairies. Combine her subjects with her vibrant choice of colors and you get instant smiles. I met Bobbi while I was engaged with the Chic On The Beach Gallery on Tybee Island, Georgia. Bobbi's work can be seen at a number of galleries throughout Savannah. Here you will find all her series in print form from her original acrylic paintings. In addition, Bobbi has a love of photography. A group of photographic prints are also offered. ~According to Bobbi~
There are three elements to my work:
My Hands . My Heart . My Imagination
Family members and friends have been the inspiration for my fairy art.
Each image is a story in itself.
It is my wish that a fairy print will bring a smile to the owner's face.
Please click on each image for a closer look.

. . . My Latest Works~ Seashell Topiary Trees . . . It is true- I have a deep love for the ocean- you see it in my photography and read about it in my poetry. Spending time on Tybee Island I walk the beach continually picking up seashells. Many are broken shells- interesting shapes, smoothed by the ocean waves. I travel to beaches worldwide and again, the shell gathering continues. My husband Nick has gotten bit by the shell infatuation. He also collects shells. I pondered a long time to decide what to do with all of them. Something different than "crafty" shell things. I decided to make shell topiary trees- they are mosaic and sculptural. They range in size from 8" to 5 feet for a dramatic interior statement. In addition to the trees I also embellish wreaths and small pieces of furniture encrusted by the ocean's jewels. We think they are quite nice. Apparently so do our customers- I continue replenishing the shelves on these beauties! I hope you find them as wonderful :)
