Two Shows and a Class

February 10, 2015 by dnart

I’ve had a great start to 2015. It has been very busy and productive so far, which is causing my weeks to blur together. I can’t believe that it is already mid-February. What have I been up to? Two shows in January and one studio class at NC State (go Wolf Pack) have kept me in the garage, on the inter-webs, and the highway. My first show of the year was Contemporary South, at the Visual Art Exchange in Raleigh. A friend […]

Spreading Seeds

April 18, 2014 by dnart

About a month ago, a friend contacted me from Marbles Kids Museum about the Imagination Ball. It’s a fundraiser that helps pay the cost of admission for children who might not otherwise be able to experience all the awesomeness Marbles offers. So of course I was psyched when she asked me to come up with a painting for their auction. Spreading Seeds came to me after a night of sketching. I didn’t really know what I wanted to paint, but I […]

March 6, 2014 by dnart

Last week I made it to the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh for the first time.

I would say it was one of my favorite pieces in the collection as well. I would pay a lot of money to see her run around wearing this. On a […]

Color Me Crazy

December 10, 2013 by dnart

For a few weeks this month, I’ve been working at Marbles Kids Museum as the December featured artist in their Playdate with an Artist Series. I’ve had a blast working with the kids again and it definitely takes me back to my days in the classroom. For the workshops, I put together a program based on coloring pages and the idea of developing a community canvas. Coloring books were the first introduction to art for many of us, but they […]

First Fridays in Raleigh

July 9, 2013 by dnart

As part of the First Fridays Gallery Walk in Raleigh, I showed two of my watercolor pieces in the Just Art: Redeeming the Discarded exhibit at Cobblestone Hall. As part of the show, each artist was asked to contribute a work to a silent auction to help raise money for the Salvation Army. In keeping with the theme of the discarded, I picked up an old painting at the Durham Rescue Mission for $5 and painted over it to create […]
