Meet Gat and Ranaan
Gat and Ranaan Gabriel |
Gat and Ranaan are part of a new crew of vendors at the
flea market this year. As they tell their
story,
“This has been our first season and we are very happy to be
here. We arrived in Woodstock three years ago, just about half a year before
COVID hit, and since then we’ve been waiting for the opportunity to meet the
wonderful community and local residences. Woodstock has been the perfect
location between the market’s vibe and all of the people who pass through.
We’re grateful to be able to show our community what we do. “
As part of my interview, I ask for a little background as
to how our vendors began the journey to where they are today – selling their
creations at the flea market.
“Starting as graphic designers, we both walked our own
artistic paths, until we settled in Woodstock and started our collaboration:
Word Paintings. We paint words. Visualizing the meaning of ‘words’ is the
center of our work, revealing the accents and meaning through shapes, forms,
colors, and composition.
We begin our Word Paintings with a single word (though every
now and then we use a short phrase). It can be any word yet we find ourselves
more drawn to those that which people often forget how powerful they really
are. We’re interested in the way we experience them; that is where you feel
meaning, a presence, a physical feeling and power that a word can give. With
this ‘code’ we start our visual adventure. Think about ‘SOUL’, ‘WE’, ‘BREATHE’,
or ‘MOM&DAD’. Think of the emotions that come with reading these words and
you can start imagining the vast fields of creativity that are waiting to be
explored. Our medium consists of a mix between digital artwork as well as oil
and acrylic painting and pencil. The outcome is a sort of conclusion, the sum
of both the spiritual & physical means, in other words, a PAiNTiNG.”
Lastly, I always
ask What do you like about being at the flea market?
“Besides meeting all the people who gather at the flea, we
love and are grateful for all the feedback and support we received. It’s
honestly priceless. We present a selection of our works and introduce new words
every week, and in turn receive responses which are truly spectacular. These
just continue to encourage us to create more works. Thank you! And please visit
us in person or also online! :)”

Franne first started setting up at the flea market almost 25
years ago. Her booth was filled with her featured items, vintage housewares and
a wonderful collection of the most beautiful tea pots. We had a good laugh when
Franne recalled that I purchased a set of beautiful cobalt blue candle
sticks to give to our daughter as a bridal shower gift. In those early years, she would drive up from Rockland
county most Saturdays. Eventually her
set up grew to include books, housewares and a large VHS collection. As the years went by, Franne lived closer to
Woodstock, her items for sale changed from VHS to DVD collections and vintage
clothing. As we have emerged from
pandemic selling, Franne has changed her booth once again to fine vintage
clothing, a curated book selection and a specialty item, vintage kimonos. She is able to alter and repair any damaged kimonos
that she may purchase. Franne has an
amazing eye for color and her booth has a beautiful red, purple, blue and
yellow vibe to it. You can find her most
Saturdays down the Maple lane side of the flea, on the inside corner.
