SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit February-April 2026
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring the work of member artists Luna Lee Ray and Gordon Jameson\, as well as guest artist Ronan Peterson. \n\n\n\nOpening reception on February 27\, 2026 from 6 to 9 PM. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuna Lee Ray\n\n\n\nWater is Life. In this body of mixed media work\, Luna has drawn inspiration from her longstanding love of water in all of its forms: rain\, ocean\, river\, and mist. Her newest pieces call to mind the play of light through moisture in the air and the smell of the ground when dampened. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGordon Jameson\n\n\n\nGordon’s work is informed by divergent sources\, from the cult imagery of the Virgin Mary to multi-thousand-year-old Native American pictographs\, to current events and early Renaissance art. Through these sources\, he engages his paintings in a conversation that is intuitive\, cathartic\, and serendipitous. Gordon’s acrylic paintings develop over time\, sometimes months or years\, like a garden\, always alive and changing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRonan Peterson\n\n\n\nUsing red earthenware clay\, Ronan layers slips\, terra sigillatas\, and glazes\, with wax resist patterning\, to create highly decorated earthenware vessels. While his ceramics start with a functional basis\, they feature cartoon representations of compositions you might find lying on the forest floor\, crawling across the bottom of the ocean\, or hovering in space over the surface of a gas giant planet. Ronan hopes viewers and users get a sense that his pots could just slither away if they avert their gaze for too long.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit January-February 2026
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring the work of member artists Bill McAllister\, Carroll Lassiter\, and Ley Killeya. \n\n\n\nOpening reception is on January 9\, 2026. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill McAllister\n\n\n\nThis series features photographs from Bill’s 2009 trip to Siem Reap\, Cambodia\, which was one of the most memorable and productive photographic experiences of his life. Using infrared and pinhole cameras\, Bill captured images of 13th-century temples\, among other subjects. This group of photographs includes a mix of the historical architecture\, landscape\, and the people who inhabit this amazing country. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarroll Lassiter\n\n\n\nThe landscapes Carroll paints are places where she feels most alive\, and many are tied to family roots in eastern North Carolina. She remembers creek fishing trips — first with her father and later with her son — as hours of contentment with bursts of excitement thrown in. Carroll’s oil paintings convey the physical and emotional essences of these specific places. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLey Killeya\n\n\n\nAcross cultures and traditions\, the songbird carries symbolic meaning. In Ley’s new paintings\, the songbird symbolizes her deeply felt connection with her sons\, who fill her with unending joy\, happiness\, and optimism. The limited primary palette in this collection closely ties the pieces together\, weaving them with threads of color that speak to and support one another\, representing the complex interpersonal fabric of our lives. The titles of individual pieces are drawn from poems and song lyrics.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit September-November 2025
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring the work of member artists Barbara Tyroler and Donna Stubbs\, and guest artists Tama Hochbaum\, Wyatt Speight Rhue and Carmen Elliott.  \n\n\n\nOpening Reception on October 10\, 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBarbara Tyroler\n\n\n\nBarbara’s practice embraces dual nature—photography’s grounding in reality and its capacity for transformation. She explores how the camera can reveal the extraordinary within the ordinary\, how technical choices can shift meaning\, and how the act of selection itself becomes a form of interpretation. Her work explores the tension between documentation and expression\, between the world as it appears and as it might be understood. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarmen Elliot\n\n\n\nCarmen creates terra cotta sculpture and pottery for home and garden. She is particularly interested in making forms that are expressive\, and that may evoke a sense of mystery or humor\, the fragile or the wild\, or a kind of renewal that can unfold between maker\, viewer\, and the thing created. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDonna Stubbs\n\n\n\nDonna’s paintings emerge from an exploration of color\, materials\, and line. Through repeated layering of drawn marks\, organic shapes\, and shifting tones\, she creates compositions that carry both rhythm and movement. Her work builds abstract spaces that invite close looking\, offering viewers layered narratives of memory\, intuition\, and discovery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTama Hochbaum\n\n\n\nTama Hochbaum creates photo-art that internally alludes to drawing and painting sensibilities\, which she layers and aligns with photographic processes. This body of work uses a combination of photography and drawing and pulls beauty and joy from the artist’s garden\, an Arcadian site of inspiration and pleasure. Tama works to make a final image that exists as if it were assembled from remembered scenes; an image that presents as if it were composed from manifold bits and layers over many hours at an easel. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWyatt Speight Rhue\n\n\n\nWyatt designs\, builds\, and sculpts furniture in his studio in eastern North Carolina. His practice explores traditional modern forms while embracing playful and unexpected uses of materials and construction methods. For his body of work\, Wyatt presents a collection of bowls and vessels turned on the lathe\, as well as side tables carved\, turned\, and sculpted directly from logs. These works highlight his dialogue with raw wood — where natural shapes and irregularities become guides for form rather than obstacles to overcome.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit August-September 2025
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring the work of member artists Shelly Hehenberger\, Karen Day\, Natalie Boorman\, Mary Lee Kerr and guest artist Alan Dehmer. \n\n\n\nOpening Reception on August 22\, 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlan Dehmer\n\n\n\nAlan Dehmer’s work uses the gum bichromate printing process. Embracing both photography and printmaking this process leverages image making as time transforms layers of each piece. The end work carries an archetypal quality\, like something from an old memory or a dream one can’t quite remember. \n\n\n\nAlan Dehmer is a founding member of the FRANK Gallery\, a published author\, and a guest lecturer at NC State University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaren Day\n\n\n\nMuch of Karen’s work is rooted in a kind of personal excavation – visual and emotional. She thinks of her paintings as artifacts of an interior world\, shaped by her dreamings of time and memory. Instead of something static or sealed\, she imagines reliquaries in motion: shifting forms dissolving\, evolving and reforming. \n\n\n\nShe builds layers of texture early on\, then continues adding – sometimes scraping or masking areas to create visual moments of clarity\, opacity\, and depth. Her interest is in what is revealed\, what remains hidden\, and how meaning can live in the spaces between. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMary Lee Kerr\n\n\n\nFor 40 years\, Mary Lee Kerr has studied and created clay sculptures\, gradually mastering the technical aspects of the medium and constantly searching for the best way to express her ideas.  \n\n\n\nRecently her larger work has focused on protection–of herself\, her family and her community–and warding off the dangers of a threatening world. These figures are protected by shells\, spines and claws\, or hold talismans to ward off evil. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNatalie Boorman\n\n\n\nNatalie Boorman has worked with clay for the past 40 years.  Using the “Pinch Pot” method is meditative for her\, allowing her to relax with the clay\, interact with it\, forming a relationship which is not always consciously developed.  \n\n\n\nHer finishing process includes burnishing\, bisque firing the vessels in an electric kiln and then either fire them in a pit or a raku kiln\, both variations of what’s known as smoke firing.  Smoke firings are unpredictable\, spontaneous and intriguing. Not for anyone needing a sense of control! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShelly Hehenberger\n\n\n\nShelly’s recent work is inspired by the quiet but always industrious processes of regeneration at work in the earth around and below our feet. Sometimes slowly\, sometimes with remarkable speed\, forces break apart one form of life to make another\, like a child assembling her blocks to build a form that is at once demolished to make another\, and another. Her art process reflects this means of invention as her surfaces are composed of elements carved from other compositions and then reconstructed\, creating a snapshot of life mid-leap from one embodiment to the next.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit July-August 2025
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring the work of member artist R. Scott Horner\, emerging artist in residence Lucas Bernard\, and guest artists Chris Boerner\, Paul Reamey\, and Kerry Schroeder. \n\n\n\nThe gallery also features a group landscape show\, “SCAPES”. \n\n\n\nOpening Reception on July 11\, 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLucas Bernard\n\n\n\nAs an oil painter\, Lucas’ motivation to create stems from a desire to engage more intimately with the world around him. By spending hours closely observing an object\, person\, plant\, or landscape\, Lucas is able to build a personal connection to both his subject and the physical art he creates. Through this process\, Lucas aims to highlight aspects of life that may seem insignificant or overlooked\, inviting a deeper appreciation of the mundane. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Boerner\n\n\n\nChris Boerner is an artistic woodturner\, specializing in creating beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork from a variety of rare and unusual wood. Basically self-taught\, Chris enjoys creating intricately and technically advanced artistic pieces. He searches for unusual wood from downed trees with dynamic color and grain which may have burls\, holes\, or bark inclusions. Though these characteristics add to the difficulty and danger turning the wood\, it increases Chris’ excitement and determination to create a piece that is truly unique. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nR. Scott Horner\n\n\n\nIn this exhibit\, Scott is visualizing the many echos of self found in the things we create and the enduring actions that leave behind traces of our being. Our selves echo in the digital world\, too. Giant data centers build virtual selves by assembling our online activities. Through repetition of key shapes\, and creation of container-like forms\, Scott explores the concept of self-related artifacts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul Reamey\n\n\n\nPaul is an artist and industrial designer currently working in glass\, wood\, and stone. He’s drawn to these materials both by the puzzle of joining them together and by a simple fascination of how they continue to interact in a finished piece. There’s something about the fragility of cold glass\, the heaviness of stone and the soft\, approachable nature of wood that makes coupling these materials particularly compelling. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKerry Schroeder\n\n\n\nKerry Schroeder’s work is a metaphor for the search for answers in a world where they feel both close at hand and impossibly distant. She turns to nature as her visual language—layered\, ever-changing\, and complex\, much like life itself. She considers her work expressionistic\, blending gestural brushstrokes and spontaneous marks with representational forms\, existing in the space between the tangible and the abstract. Her process is a constant push and pull—allowing what wants to emerge\, working with what appears\, and letting go of what doesn’t belong.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit May-July 2025
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring the work of member artists Carol Retsch-Bogart\, Nerys Levy\, Linda Prager\, and guest artists Leif Gann-Matzen and Pete Sack. \n\n\n\nOpening Reception on May 23\, 2025. \n\n\n\nThis show will also be the spotlight of a special event\, The Artistic Palate: A Fusion of Art\, Food\, Poetry & Song\, on June 1\, 2025! Tickets are available now! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarol Retsch-Bogart\n\n\n\nA recent visit to Japan has inspired Carol’s encaustic wax\, mixed media and printmaking work. She reacts to Japanese woodblock prints\, graphic illustrations\, amazing textiles of indigo\, and floral silks. Carol’s own work is bold and colorful with a strong connection to nature and an emphasis on the simplicity and beauty of ordinary objects. \n\n\n\nMore Info and Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNerys Levy\n\n\n\nNerys’ work is inspired by her summer travel sketches in Great Britain and northern Italy. She then captures the energy of those sketches in paintings with bold lines and strong colors. The works in this exhibit show how\, with simplicity of form and line\, Nerys effortlessly conveys the mood and dimensionality of place. \n\n\n\nMore Info and Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinda Prager\n\n\n\nReacting to complexity in the world\, Linda presents us rounded\, simplified clay forms that bring a sense of quiet. These pieces abstractly speak of trees\, sky\, and birds. It is definitely Linda’s most painterly series of work. The painted surfaces show her expressive brushstrokes as color layers with color. \n\n\n\nMore Info and Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeif Gann-Matzen\n\n\n\nLeif carves wooden sculptures from trees felled a stone’s throw from the Eno River. In the process of carving\, he works not to impose but to follow. The long\, flowing forms of Leif’s pieces present his memories of tree and river in solid beauty. \n\n\n\nLearn more about Leif and view recent works on his website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPete Sack\n\n\n\nThis is the first time these pieces by Pete have hung together on exhibit. They represent his figurative and abstract works expressing both an internal reflection of personal experiences and external observations of the ways in which we engage with others. \n\n\n\nLearn more about Pete and view recent works on his website.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Apr/May 2025
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring the work of photographers Peter Filene and Dan Gottlieb\, and woodworker Keith Allen.  \n\nOpening Reception on April 11. \n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nPeter Filene\n\nIn this vibrant series\, Peter grapples with personal identities behind portraiture. He asks\, “what is a portrait?” For the past two years\, Peter has been collaging torn pieces of his previous photos to create new images. Does a photograph of a woman\, set against a collaged background\, portray her? When you look at Peter’s almost-abstract figures\, do you see portraits? \n\n\n \n\n\nDan Gottlieb\n\nThe dream-like landscapes in Dan’s exhibit touch upon important places in his life. They share his aesthetic perspective of nature and our fleeting place within it – moving with light\, wind\, and breath. More gestural than documentary\, Dan’s pictures reside in that gap between information and subjective perception.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nKeith Allen\n\nKeith’s wood furniture often features natural aspects of the material. His designs may be motivated by the material itself\, or by the language found in songs\, or everyday phrases. His intuitive way of understanding relationships and details helps his pieces evolve into something new and unique.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Jean Michel Dissake
DESCRIPTION:Sculptural Works\n\n\n\nSpecial exhibition lecture and short-film viewing on March 13 > LEARN MORE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCameroonian artist Jean Michel Dissake’s sculptural works use found and recycled materials to represent a balance between nature and technology by weaving natural objects such as wood\, vines\, termite dust\, water hyacinths\, and palm fronds together with computer boards\, aluminum wire\, license plates\, and car parts. These objects that embody energy from people around the world are sewn together with wire to celebrate diversity\, restore souls and bring unity. \n\n\n\nInformed by his cultural heritage as well as wisdom gained from living for nine years in a forest on the Mungo River\, Dissake’s work invokes a dialogue on ecological and spiritual matters and speaks to timely issues of unity\, love\, and oneness with nature. Dissake asserts that “everything is linked” and seeks\, through his art\, to heal the Tree of Life. \n\n\n\nThese works are selections from a recent exhibit at the Gregg Museum of Art and Design called BABENGA: The Sacred Forest. The Gregg exhibit was co-curated by Marriott Sheldon\, a Raleigh artist and guest artist at FRANK Gallery\, and Roger Manley\, former director of the Gregg Museum. \n\n\n\nBabenga refers both to the village where Dissake’s grandfather was the local king for over fifty years as well as the idea of the continuity of humans – a ceremonial invocation of a future land and new spirituality where humans and nature thrive. Dissake’s understanding and deep respect for the natural world imbue the works with symbolism that serves as a wakeup call to realize our interdependence with nature. \n\n\n\nDissake is recognized as a visionary artist\, philosopher and activist. He recently represented Cameroon with works exhibited in the 2024 Venice Biennale\, the world’s most prestigious art exposition. Jean Michel Dissake’s works were exhibited at the 2024 Dakar Biennale and included in many exhibitions in Europe. It is an honor to exhibit and offer Dissake’s works for sale here at FRANK Gallery\, considering he is on the verge of becoming very well known internationally. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFROM THE EXHIBITION

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Feb/Mar 2025
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring member artists Luna Lee Ray and Peg Bachenheimer\, and guest artists Karli Pendergraft and William Moore. \n\n\n\nAlso on exhibit is a special selection of works by Cameroon artist Jean Michel Dissake. \n\n\n\nOpening reception is on Feb. 21 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuna Lee Ray\n\n\n\nTake a close look at the deep complexity of Luna’s layered mixed media surfaces. Then step back and let the mood and mystery of these abstract works reveal a truth in nature that cannot be conveyed through realism. Luna is inspired by the forms and processes of the natural world: cells and pods and clouds\, wind and light and mist and rain. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeg Bachenheimer\n\n\n\nAn intuitive painter\, Peg starts thinking about color and feeling. She brings back memories of places she’s been\, music she hears\, and her experiences of place – especially in nature. The rich and vibrant applications of encaustic paint in Peg’s exhibited work explores the lush beauty of the garden. A colorful reminder that spring is on its way. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKarli Pendergraft\n\n\n\nKarli’s organic sculptures seem to reach out and return on themselves — showing the interconnectedness of life\, from the unseen networks beneath the earth to the vast\, ever-changing rivers and oceans. The recent hurricane that devastated western North Carolina\, where Karli lives and works\, impacted all aspects of her world. It was a stark reminder of the power and fragility of nature.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWilliam Moore\n\n\n\nThese wonderful works by William show how he pushes his materials of clay\, glass and metals to their extreme. The resulting colors and textures are sublime. Shown internationally\, William Moore’s work graces private and public collections\, which locally include Duke University Chapel\, Progress Energy headquarters\, SAS Corporation\, Glaxco Wellcome and the City Cary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJean Michel Dissake\n\n\n\nCameroonian artist Jean Michel Dissake’s sculptural works use found and recycled materials to represent a balance between nature and technology. He recently participated in this year’s Venice Biennale\, the world’s most prestigious art expo. It’s an honor to have Dissake’s work available here at FRANK Gallery\, considering he is on the verge of becoming very well known internationally. \n\n\n\n> LEARN MORE

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Jan/Feb 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we ring in the new year with featured artists Gordon Jameson\, Ley Killeya\, and guest furniture maker Pete Rodrigues. \n\n\n\nOpening Reception January 17\, 6-9 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGordon Jameson\n\n\n\nAn established abstract painter\, Gordon relies on strong color and compositions of unique shapes. Much of his work’s narrative references western interpretations of Christian imagery\, primarily the Annunciation and Enthroned Madonna. And so the figure emerges in Gordon’s paintings\, shifting his works slightly away from complete abstraction.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLey Killeya\n\n\n\nLey uses acrylic paint\, ink\, and gold metallic leaf to create her abstract figurative paintings. She focuses on the use of line and composition to represent parts of the body\, adding unexpected dashes of color to break the surface and disturb expectations. Elements of gold leaf indicate the value we and others place on them. Her work helps us consider how our bodies\, and the perceptions of them\, confer power\, limit rights\, exercise control\, and interrogate identity.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPete Rodrigues\n\n\n\nPete crafts his fine furniture with a focus on both function and natural beauty. And within each piece of wood he sees similarities to human faults in the material’s cracks\, twist\, bows and rough cut edges. However\, when worked by the master craftsman\, the wood can be turned into something beautiful.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Sep/Nov 2024
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Bill McAllister\, Susan Finer and guest artists Peg Gignoux and Karli Pendergraft. With a special exhibit curated by Joe Grant\, director of Starworks Glass and featuring the work of Takuro Shibata\, director of Starworks ceramics and Mac Metz\, director of Starworks metals. Also in this exhibit we’ll feature FRANK in Focus in association with the Triangle-Wide photography festival CLICK\, to celebrate the wonderful photographers of FRANK.  \n\n\n\nOpening Reception September 27\, 6-9 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill McAllister\n\n\n\nIn Huangshan\, China\, Bill photographed the magic of that area’s natural wonders. His photos are presented in the manner of 8th century Chinese ink paintings depicting this most special place. Bill uses his expert eye in capturing the landscape\, always finding interesting textures\, engaging compositions and dreamy atmospherics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusan Finer\n\n\n\nFor Susan\, beauty is found in the imperfections of rough tree bark\, plush moss\, peeling paint and rusted metal. You can find this wondrous splendor in what she calls her “tactile memories.” Her intuitive abstract fiber art constructs a diverse terrain stitch by stitch\, knot by knot\, and layer by layer. She creates worlds where organic and linear\, chaotic and ordered come together\, where ragged rips\, untidy snippets\, and messy protrusions meet up with orderly lines and grids.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKarli Pendergraft\n\n\n\nPendergraft has spent much of her life immersed in the natural world\, drawing inspiration from its intricate patterns and subtle energies. She uses clay to translate her observations into tangible forms. She draws inspiration from diverse natural phenomena such as mycelium networks\, branching root systems\, oceanic life\, and cellular structures. Her art gives you a space for reflection and wonder\, encouraging a deeper appreciation of the delicate and profound rhythms of nature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoe Grant\n\n\n\nJoe is the Glass Director for Starworks. In his “Gossamers” series\, Joe blows the glass extremely thin\, stretching the colors until they begin to fall apart. Balanced between refined form and a loss of control\, these works celebrate the joys of color and the transformative qualities of glass to look and feel like fabric and textiles. Joe also collaborates with metalsmith Mac Metz to make abstracted glass flowers that transition carefully to the graceful lines of their stainless steel stems.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMac Metz\n\n\n\nDirector of the metal studio at Starworks\, Mac works primarily with metal\, stone\, glass and wood to create work that conveys allegorical references to past events and specific scientific principles. Looking at his work\, you see the push and pull of materials: soft wood next to cold steel and transparent glass paired with solid stone. His beautiful sculptures have been exhibited in Estonia\, Finland and Japan\, and we are very excited to see this work at FRANK. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTakuro Shibata\n\n\n\nSince becoming the director of Starworks Ceramics\, Takuro started researching local clays. His work beautifully presents the transformation of wild clay — untouched and raw\, with kilns fired with wood from local sawmills and the surrounding land. These magical ceramic pieces appear to grow and move\, echoing the capriciousness of the natural world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarguerite Jay Gignoux\n\n\n\nMarguerite’s stitched canvases hold small and large marks with layers of textile ink coloring lengths of linen. This sturdy cloth holds the history of her French-American family. Dropping in a few sweeping and crooked stitched lines suggests a setting; a garden\, a dwelling\, a path. These minimal shapes and washes of color invite you into Marguerite’s idyllic world.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Aug/Sep 2024
DESCRIPTION:Featuring member artists R. Scott Horner\, Kaidy Lewis and guest artists John Parkinson and Fabrizio Bianchi.  \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: August 23 from 6-9 pmCoffee with FRANK live painting by Horner and Lewis: September 7 at 10 amSpecial Talk on ART and AI by Horner: September 18 at 6 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nR. Scott Horner\n\n\n\nScott’s paintings in this exhibit come from a series called Water on Stones. He captures the essence of the water/stone duality with exciting marks and shapes that delivers a pleasing presence. For Scott\, water creates and destroys. It also distorts our vision. In one glance we see a refracted view of what’s below and a reflection of what’s above. Stones record the flow of water and time. Each mark reports past events. Sharp edges and hard angles tell of quick\, violent actions. Round\, smooth areas show the erosion of centuries of moving water. \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaidy Lewis\n\n\n\nKaidy presents us with complex compositions that hint at a human presence. In her new series of paintings\, the artist contemplates the increasing number of multiverses we are able to experience. The subjects of her semi-abstract paintings are both familiar and strange. You’ll notice inanimate objects as well as suggestions of people. In her work\, Kaidy uses bold and gestural marks that both subvert reality and describe it at the same time. \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFabrizio Bianchi\n\n\n\nFabrizio’s work is his expression of what he calls a Venn diagram radiating from traversing ovals of duality. They represent his view of North and Latin American cultures\, digital and traditional art\, tranquility and chaos\, and precision and spontaneity. His tools include inks and wood burning which results in compositions that “cannot exist without the synchronous blend and clash of fire and water.” Look closely and you may see echos of cultures that shaped Fabrizio: graffiti in Buenos Aires\, Argentina; the imaginary landscapes of Italian futurists\, Chilean Surrealist Roberto Matta; and the timeless writings of Jorge Luis Borges. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Parkinson\n\n\n\nThe wood furniture pieces John builds show clean elegant lines\, incorporating quiet details and accents that enhance visual vitality. He uses traditional hand tools and machinery to craft these beautiful and functional works of art. John says his “deepest satisfaction comes from designing a piece that both the owner and viewer find useful and interesting.”

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Jun/Aug 2024
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Donna Stubbs and her collaborative sculptures with Brent Arnold\, Theresa P-Tan and guest artists Sasha Bakaric and John Rosenthal. \n\n\n\nOpening reception is July 12. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDonna Stubbs\n\n\n\nDonna is inspired by found objects\, bold color\, vintage books\, street photography\, winter trees\, and so much more. She intuitively explores contradictions and associations between abstract shapes\, collage\, mark-making and painting. A close examination of her work reveals many textured layers of acrylic paint\, drawing marks\, vintage paper\, fabric and her photography. These accumulated materials represent a part of her own history and give the viewer a deeper sense of discovery.  \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheresa P-Tan\n\n\n\nWe like the way Theresa’s work freely moves from one medium to another. You’ll see paint\, graphite\, colored pencil collage and more working together in harmony. Her playful explorations in this exhibit come from her recent experiences in the Galápagos Islands. The results are wonderful landscape-like compositions that give you the perfect sense of the remote\, natural and mysterious beauty found in those isles. For Theresa\, these works also carry memories of her family and the area of the world where her people are from. \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSasha Bakaric\n\n\n\nSasha’s inspiration comes from microscopic images of various cells and microorganisms – the basis of all life. She says she is intrigued by the dichotomy between the beauty of these images and the fears that people often have when faced with viruses or bacteria. “I love the idea of questioning our relationship with the micro world inside and around us.” As you look at Sashas beautiful work\, you can image how each one is the result of a biological process where its images and forms spontaneously develop. \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Rosenthal\n\n\n\nThe striking photography that John presents to us is both salutation and awe. He considers his landscape photographs to be salutations. “Camera in hand\, this is all I have to offer. The event before my eyes\, in its unboundedness\, is ultimately unknowable. It cannot be captured by a photograph\, but it can be saluted – the illusive stillness of its being.” To John\, the ocean is another matter. It is the Mother\, the Destroyer. To try to capture its power in a photograph is both absurd and tempting. \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit May/Jun 2024
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception May 24 from 6-9 pm. There will also be a Second Friday reception on June 14.  \n\n\n\nFeaturing Carroll Lassiter\, Peg Bachenheimer\, guest artists Deborah Harris\, Judith Ernst\, and Kathy Armacost. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarroll Lassiter\n\n\n\nMoving through the quiet areas of North Carolina\, Carroll looks for that perfect moment when light and landscape meet. She notes the three stages of her art process: \n\n\n\nFirst there is inspiration. A thrill or energy is generated by the angle of light\, a particular form\, a relationship of sky to ground. \n\n\n\nThen the work begins in capture. Reaching to recreate the specific moment of sensory excitement. \n\n\n\nAnd finally\, magic happens when that delight is transmitted to the viewer. \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeg Bachenheimer\n\n\n\nPeg is an intuitive\, abstract painter inspired by nature\, memories\, life and her feelings. She explains\, “as I paint a memory or feeling emerges and becomes part of the process of building layers of color and texture. These memories are based on places I’ve been\, music I’ve heard\, people I’ve connected with and experiences I’ve had.” \n\n\n\nSometimes her work is abstract and sometimes landscape based. This series represents the emotional impact as she leaves her home of 37 years to find a new place and way to live. And\, some of the paintings are about her feelings of grief and growing acceptance of the recent loss of her sister\, Katharine. \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeborah Harris\n\n\n\nThe whiteness of the clay body\, black sgraffito imagery\, along with the celadon glaze used by Deborah\, creates work reminiscent of the Cizhou kilns from the Song Dynasty of China. Deborah is inspired and motivated by the designs of this time period – as they express the natural world with insects and plants along with mythical creatures.  \n\n\n\nDeborah believes hand crafted functional pottery serves an intimate connection between user and herself. Objects handled during everyday routines become familiar and comfortable. You have to see\, hold and use her works to truly enjoy their unique beauty. \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJudith Ernst\n\n\n\nJudith’s work as a ceramist focuses on the interplay of traditional forms and sculptural expression. She uses the vessel form conceptually because it has an inner dimension surrounded by an outer surface that interacts with the outside world. \n\n\n\nShe plays with this dichotomy in the wonderfully complex and alluring pieces on display in this exhibit. She explains that a closed form is naturally extroverted. But her vessels\, with small openings to an interior\, suggest an introversion – with a mysterious inner space. \n\n\n\nThe changing angles of the various connecting planes of her work leads the eye to the inside of the vessel\, opening a dialogue between the vessel’s outer planes and inner spaces. \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKathy Armacost\n\n\n\nKathy’s work is directed by nature\, history\, architecture\, dreams\, and everything else she comes in contact with. She explains\, “I don’t always know how a painting starts; sometimes an image or color\, texture\, music or even a scent will stay with me and push me toward a beginning. I like to bring to the work all the contradictions\, doubt and humor of the day.” \n\n\n\nHer goal is to keep the work alive. And the atmospheric mystery that surrounds you when you stand before her pieces will draw you in to that living world. \n\n\n\nMore Info & Work

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Apr/May 2024
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Carol Retsch Bogart\, Shelly Hehenberger\, Linda Prager\, and guest artists Doug Dotson and Jane Filer. \n\n\n\nWe’re holding a special closing reception for this show on May 10 from 6 pm -9 pm.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarol Retsch Bogart\n\n\n\nCarol’s love of collage and mixed media touches on all manner of materials. She’s experimented with textiles in recent years\, and for this show\, decided to dive deeper. In fact\, six of the nine pieces are textiles. \n\n\n\n“I am enthralled with textiles of other lands – from the silk kimonos of Japan to the cotton kantha cloth of India\,” Carol said.  She adds her own silkscreened cloth to the mix. She continues\, “making marks\, shapes\, and images where none existed before forms a constant interplay between the materials and me.” \n\n\n\nA former therapist\, Carol has long been intrigued by the complicated nuances and layers of people’s lives\, feelings and experiences. For this show she explores the layers of texture in cloth – some observable and some hidden – just as in our lives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShelly Hehenberger\n\n\n\nHeavily applied textured layers of oil paint and cold wax mixtures help Shelly express her concept of “Earth Time.” That is the passively infinite movement of time which directs the path of all life. \n\n\n\nShelly’s goal is to invite you to contemplate Earth Time as you might approach the textural bark of a tree\, or the persistent growth of stalactites in a cave\, or the complexity of an ocean reef. These natural forms and patterns grow and reform like the layered surfaces of her paintings in this exhibit. \n\n\n\nShelly explains\, “Through my work\, I hope to remind the viewer (as well as myself) of our birthright connection to the mysterious expanse of Earth Time and to allow it to teach us a deeper way to live and breathe in this world.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinda Prager\n\n\n\nLinda’s work is inspired by many things – architecture\, nature\, art in all its forms\, and\, the clay itself.  \n\n\n\nThe pieces in this show express Linda’s reaction to the works of the other exhibiting artists. She explains\, “I became excited thinking about how I could create work that would talk to\, and connect with\, their work.” Linda went with bolder\, brighter color combinations for many of these piece\, while some express softer\, more muted colors to provide some quiet focus for the eyes\, and to reflect Linda’s quieter thoughts. \n\n\n\nAs you look at Linda’s work\, think about the layers of color and texture\, and consider how that relates to the object’s form. These pieces are sculptural and beautiful\, but they’re also functional vessels created for everyday use. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJane Filer\n\n\n\nIn Jane’s work\, you are transported to worlds of wonder and supernatural experiences. These colorful paintings tell stories rooted in what it means to be human. \n\n\n\nJane has made homes in North Carolina — at the beach and in the woods. She spends time in New Mexico and the Florida Keys. In her works\, those environments are depicted in ethereal ways. She explains that her paintings\, “are vehicles. They are equations and visual stories. They are teleportation beams\, if you dare to take the ride. They are my offspring. They are what I have spent my life nurturing and putting out in the world.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoug Dotson\n\n\n\nDoug creates pottery for daily use\, looking to the simplicity and strength of natural forms for inspiration. He makes pots\, “in a way that shows the marks of my hands\, the tools I use\, and the fire that transforms mud into pottery. I want the hardy\, rustic feel and appearance of my pottery to be as grounding to the pot’s eventual owner as it is to me when I make it.”

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Feb/Mar 2024
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Luna Lee Ray\, Peter Filene and Natalie Boorman\, with guest artists Jason Smith and Adriana Ameigh. \n\n\n\nThe Opening Reception for this exhibit is on Friday\, March 8\, from 6 pm to 9 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuna Lee Ray\n\n\n\nA mixed media artist\, Ray draws from the rich tapestry of nature and the ever-changing seasons.

Smith’s sculptural works resonate with abstraction\, where the manipulation of form and space takes center stage. Through the skillful interplay of rhythm\, action\, and movement\, his compositions exude a sense of implied energy\, inviting viewers to delve into the dynamic narratives woven within his work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdriana Ameigh\n\n\n\nKnown for her vibrant and colorful mixed media paintings and sculptures\, Ameigh’s work exudes a dynamic energy that brings her pieces to life.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Jan/Feb 2024
DESCRIPTION:Nerys Levy\n\n\n\nNerys Levy’s work is largely inspired by her on site drawings and paintings from all over the world. Her work on Polar Regions emanates from her “on site” work in the Antarctic and the Norwegian Arctic while her ongoing Italian and British works are inspired by annual visits to Italy and Britain. This show features paintings from her Italian series. Nerys Levy believes that witnessing and documenting antiquity and the forms and forces of nature at source bring an important “authentic” element to an art work.  \n\n\n\nLevy is always ”on duty” with sketch book and paints at hand\, ever-ready to catch that line\, color\, light or moment – that even a camera could miss. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGordon Jameson\n\n\n\nGordon Jameson is interested in the ongoing layering of life\, ideas\, history\, personal stories\, and mythologies. His visual conversation is like poetry\, a whispered interval between the past and tomorrow\, subtracting and adding\, losing one thing but gaining something new. His images\, while abstract\, reference specific places\, events\, memories\, moments in a day\, or a road taken. \n\n\n\nOn the process of painting\, Gordon says it “involves catharsis\, seeking a balance and finding a concrete language for an idea that may be very fleeting – like holding fog in a crystal bowl.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEric Serritella\n\n\n\nKnown world-wide for his dramatically realistic clay work\, Eric Serritella uncovers the beauty found in nature.  \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, Eric served as an artist in residence at Starworks Center for Creative Enterprise in North Carolina\, exploring glass art. \n\n\n\nThis exhibit shows Eric’s expanding artistic repertoire that includes these beautiful pate de verre glass objects.  He plays with a brilliant pallet of glass frits and pushes the material in new and exciting ways. Each piece is one-of-a-kind\, cast in a plaster mold that is never used again. \n\n\n\nEric has received many awards\, including the prestigious 2016 Distinguished Artist in Ceramics at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. He has been featured in numerous American and international art publications and been highlighted in the New York Times Arts section. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLila Bacon\n\n\n\nPainter Lila Bacon is inspired by the visual\, and her interpretation of it. She describes space by placing emphasis on the world around an object\, rather than the object\, itself. \n\n\n\nShe says\, “whether\, I am painting a landscape\, figure\, or still life\, finding the pattern of the scene allows me to create an internal and external rhythm or breath in a piece.”  \n\n\n\nLila is an award winning artist who now lives in Carrboro\, North Carolina. She concentrates on floral painting. She graduated from Parsons School of Design / The New School in 1973. She worked with her husband in a flourishing pottery business\, then as proprietor of a wonderful American crafts gallery and website Sweetheart Gallery. She is the recipient of the Harriet Tannin award.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Aug/Sep 2023
DESCRIPTION:R. Scott Horner\n\n\n\nThese paintings embrace the chaos and regularity\, the calm entropy that pushes and pulls the world around us.
