An exhibition of original artwork by many local artists of Northeast Arkansas. Free event during the Downtown Jonesboro Association’s Alive After Five! There were a lot of ASU students, current and former at the show. It was like a little reunion with fellow classmates I had not seen in years. Looking forward to more of these shows with the NEA Artist Collective.
What do Chair Trees mean to me? Well, to me, the visual of a chair emerging from a tree represents the imagination. How one can be sitting in a chair, yet their mind is expanding out into the world. Each thought, a new idea, floating in the current of thoughts.
Recently, I went to South Korea and the imagery there really impressed me with it’s colors and strong graphic elements. This brought out a lot of inspiration and these recent chair trees have a heavy Korean look.
Paragould Farmer’s Market is upgrading this year and I had the privilege of upgrading their logo.
This month, you can catch me in the NEA Premiere Magazine as March’s Artist of the Month — Page 20! There is a write up all about my art and life, with quite a few pictures of my work. Here are the ones Premiere selected for their spread:
It was definitely a rainy, Arkansas weekend, but boy did the Blue Bridge Center for the Delta Arts shine. It was the 10th Annual Delta Visual Art Show, a show that brought 210 visual artists, 25 authors and 10 musicians together in downtown Newport, Arkansas for a celebration of talent, skill and creativity. It was also great to see my artist friends in the area.
It was a great opportunity, and not too far of a drive. Already signed up for next year, and I can’t wait!
Once again I had the great privilege of working on the Ozark Foothills Film Fest branding once again. This year’s main color is RED. I love it.
My cards have become somewhat of a collectors item in my circle. Once again, this year I handmade every single one of my 70+ Christmas Cards. Each one is unique and made specifically for the recipient. This is year 5 or 6; lots of people have all of their past cards from me framed to put out for Christmas decor. I love it probably just as much as those getting the cards.
I really enjoy when I get pet commissions, and lately I have been able to paint some really cute puppers. I have created a whole new website section on commissions to make the process of accepting them easier.
The 9th Annual Delta Visual Arts Show features over 180 visual artists, who will have their work on display and for sale in downtown Newport, Arkansas. Ten buildings of art, music, the written word and a whole day of fun!
