Allison Clarke

Allison Clarke creates delicate compositions of entangled images, inspired by nature and her own imagination.  Allison's obsession with paper cutting has grown into a collection which includes her unique framed paper cuttings, paper cut letters, handmade cards, and baby wall art.  Each piece is hand cut and one of a kind.









Allison describes her artwork as intricate and soft.  She goes on to explain, "My art is influenced by the raw beauty all around us.  I use emotions, feelings, and actions I see or feel as an inspiration for my work.  I also find the quietness in nature and myself, and draw out the elements of life that go unnoticed."

Allison Clarke's unique framed paper cuttings, paper cut letters, handmade cards, and baby wall art are all available at Anchor No. 5 Boutique, and custom orders are available upon request.

Holiday 2011

Last holiday season, Anchor No.5 Boutique had only been open a few months. Petra Jancovicova had gathered an exceptional group of artist's, and we all jumped in right before the whirlwind of holiday shopping on River Street commenced. A year has passed and Anchor No.5 is nothing short of a chic, sophisticated boutique. It's gained a few more talented, local designers, while giving all of the artists it represents an opportunity to expand on our product lines, both in creativity and in extensiveness. Petra has been encouraging preparation for the holiday season for months, and every artist has met the challenge. Anchor is packed with unique, artisan gifts, with something for everyone.

This Troy Night Out falls on Black Friday. Whether you're avoiding, or braving the festivities of the day, strolling through the Market Block will be a fun and relaxing evening, and you can probably even get a few holiday gifts checked off your list.

If you can't make it Friday, come out for Shop Local Saturdays. Anchor No.5 is not only an independent, locally owned business, but features all local artists. Support your neighbors, support your region, Enjoy Troy.

This year, using Anchor No. 5's Facebook page, customers can shop online, and compile a wish list of items. Whether it's a list of things you would like others to buy for you, or gifts you would like to buy for others, contact Petra via Facebook, and she will have your wishlist on file when you walk into the Boutique.

From all of the Artists represented at Anchor No. 5 Boutique, have a wonderful holiday season, and thank you for your support.
