If you want to attend\, please consider supporting FRANK by joining our Friends of FRANK Membership Program. Your support helps FRANK achieve its community education and outreach goals. \n\n\n\nFRANK Gallery artists\, Carroll Lassiter and R. Scott Horner\, will talk about their work and give you insights into their processes. Carroll’s representational landscape paintings aim to faithfully represent the natural world\, while Scott’s abstract paintings convey emotions\, impressions\, or ideas about the landscape through non-literal means. \n\n\n\nIs one way better than the other? Well\, you may not get the answer to that question\, but you will come away with a fuller understanding of these two approaches to landscape painting.

Infused with a dreamy and ethereal quality\, her artwork transcends conventional boundaries\, inviting viewers into a realm of light layers and subtle textures. Ray captures the essence of the natural world\, weaving together textures and hues that mirror the shifting landscapes of the earth. Through her mesmerizing compositions\, she invites us to pause\, reflect\, and immerse ourselves in the boundless beauty of the world around us. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNatalie Boorman\n\n\n\nBoorman’s creative journey revolves around the ancient techniques of pinch pottery\, employing both pit firing and raku firing methods to bring her pieces to life. Her artistic vision is embodied in the organic essence of her creations\, each bearing the distinctive allure of smokey hues and a cool\, natural aesthetic. Through the transformative process of pit and raku firing\, Boorman’s pottery transcends the ordinary\, embracing the unpredictability of the elements to imbue her works with a timeless\, earthy charm. Each of her pieces becomes a vessel of storytelling\, echoing the whispers of ancient traditions while inviting contemplation and admiration for the raw beauty of nature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter Filene\n\n\n\nPhotographer Filene’s mastery lies in the realm of double exposure and photo collages. With a deft hand and a discerning eye\, Filene seamlessly blends multiple images to create visually captivating compositions and collages that transcend conventional boundaries. Each piece is a testament to his innovative approach\, where layers of imagery intertwine with a painterly result. Through his art\, Filene invites viewers to embark on a journey of exploration\, where reality and imagination converge in a mesmerizing tapestry of visual storytelling. His work serves as a testament to the endless possibilities of photographic expression\, inviting audiences to perceive the world through a lens of boundless creativity and innovation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJason Smith\n\n\n\nSmith\, an accomplished sculptor\, transitioned from a distinguished career as a jewelry artist to pursue his passion for sculptural expression. In his artistic journey\, sculpture has emerged as his primary focus\, with a diverse exploration of mediums\, yet metal remains his preferred material due to its strength\, malleability\, and inherent beauty. 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.

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.  URL:https://www.frankisart.com/event/featured-artists-exhibit-jan-feb-2024/ LOCATION:FRANK Gallery\, 370 E.

Once called\, you’ll have one minute to choose your favorite piece of art “off the wall” to take home. It gets exciting as you never know what piece will go next! This year ‘s event will be hybrid\, meaning we’ll offer a limited amount of in-person art and companion tickets\, and some online virtual tickets! In-person guests will enjoy delicious food and an open bar. Online guests have the same chance to select art off the wall\, but from the comfort of their home. There are more than 70 pieces of donated art (from our generous artists!) all valued at more than the price of a ticket! We invite you to see all the artwork ahead time in two ways\, in-gallery or online. Visit the gallery the week before the Gala to see all the donated art hanging.

Dan combines his life decades as an artist\, museum designer\, and environmental activist using a laborious experimental process of his own design. \n\n\n\nGarden Journeys\, A Portrait Photographer Explores the Landscape showcases the work of professional photographer and educator\, Barbara Tyroler. Primarily an environmental portrait artist and editorial commercial photographer\, Barbara first began rendering the natural landscape while meandering through the local hiking trails with students\, friends\, and family during the early seasons of our Covid pandemic. The abstracted imagery emerged as shaggy and snarly forms\, colors\, and textures and blossomed into a broader appreciation for the complex interconnectedness and social networking at play. \n\n\n\nDaniel Johnston is a prominent North Carolina-based potter with a national presence who is widely celebrated for his remarkable craftsmanship in creating large-scale pottery. Through his skillful hands\, he transforms clay into stunning\, monumental vessels that not only serve as utilitarian pieces but also as captivating works of art. Daniel Johnston’s pottery stands as a testament to his enduring dedication to the craft and his ability to capture the essence of North Carolina’s pottery heritage on a grand scale. \n\n\n\n\n\nBarbara Tyroler\, Night Neighbors 2\, from The Garden Journey\, photograph URL:https://www.frankisart.com/event/frank-opening-reception-2nd-friday/ LOCATION:FRANK Gallery\, 370 E.

Students should bring images previously taken and please bring your camera/phone and ideally your laptop to upload images. It is strongly recommended that students download other Photography editing applications (my preferred app is HIpstamatic). \n\n\n\nBryce Lankard has made images in the south as a documentary photographer for 35 years.
