Art Calls and July Jams

July 21, 2015 by dnart

Being an artist is much more than just spending time alone in your studio. The real work is finding places to show what you’ve been working on. Step 1. Find all of the galleries near you that you can deliver your work to. Step 2. Look at their previous shows and figure out what kind of work/artist they deal with. A lot of times galleries function as co-ops and mostly work with their members, so that eliminates at least half […]

Spring Art Showin

April 22, 2015 by dnart

Spring has sprung and I have been busy in the studio. April has been a really good month for me in terms of exposure. My work has been hanging on both the clean, white walls of a gallery as well as the homemade, slightly crooked, fence-like walls of my mobile art exhibit that I use when I do a festival. Let me tell you, those festivals are hard work, but first, let’s talk about those white walls. VAE in Raleigh had […]

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 […]

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 […]
