This article about the show came out in the Brunswick News on New Year's Day... what a great way to start the year! Yes, I should contact the paper and see if I could get a copy of the digital, but ...
If you happen to be on the Georgia coast, stick your toes in the ocean and come by the gallery!
This is a lively group of artists with quite a diverse offering of artwork for you to enjoy. The gallery is on the street leading to the pier. Try out the fantastic fried shrimp next door at 'Iguanas'... YUM!

XANADU !

I am thrilled to announce that Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona is promoting my artwork!

What an intriguing name for a gallery... and it reflects the intriguing and diverse artwork found inside. I know that you will be visually richly rewarded by taking a tour of their facility and its' contents either in person or on line.

Jason Horejs, the owner, is the son of a professional fine artist, so he knows the gallery business from both perspectives. I'm excited to see what the future holds here at Xanadu. Thanks, Jason!

A VERY Insightful Book!

I know there are a lot of books and information out on the web these days that you can throw your money at and, let's face it, money is not an easy commodity these days! I gritted my teeth and skeptically ordered this one at the pre-published price, hoping to get some insight into the gallery side of the art world because, like many of you, I desperately need to spend more time creating.
Boy, am I glad that I did!
This is a no fluff, concise, give-it-to-me-right-between-the-eyes kind of book that comes from personal experience of two generations from both sides...artist and gallery owner.

Hampton Gallery

Cameron Hampton with "Wallowing Wild Boar" sculpture

Saturday evening I had the chance to attend 'The Blue Green Earth Exhibition' at the Hampton Fine Art Gallery in Greensboro, GA which is co-owned by Cameron Hampton. Cameron is an multi-faceted artist that I first met at Art on the Avenue, where we both have work hanging. She also received the Best of Show award for “Intersection” at the recent Georgia in Bloom Show in Madison, GA.
I encourage you to see the show in person through May 30 and check out her work on the web.
