Sweet Summertime and Messages from the Mermaids, July 30
Posted by carygallery under NewsComments Off
Oil painter Jill Ciccone Pike and book creator Flora Lea Louden open their shows at Cary Gallery of Artists on Friday, July 30th with a reception from 6-9pm. Reception will feature guitarist David Kraweic. This is also the last night of the Dutch Auction.
Jill’s show, Sweet Summertime, features oil paintings celebrating the joy and freedom of summer vacation.
Beach Buns, by Jill Ciccone Pike
Flora Lea Louden’s “Messages from the Mermaids” features her hand made books. She says, ” Most of the books I make do not have ‘content’ in the way we typically know and understand. You may see a pattern in the paper & fiber I use, as I see text and pattern in nature. Long walks on the beach collecting worn and weathered shells, shards embedded with text, a new language for me. I call them ‘messages from the mermaids’ and they whisper vague tales of all things intangible. Perhaps a coincidental fragment touches you. If so, honor the moment and record your messages in the gift of a book.”

So, come join us at the studio for great works, wine and hors de’ oeuvres and get in the Loop!
This month through September, we are pleased to show works by artist David Welch. A native of Wilmington, NC, David is on a never-ending journey of self discovery as an expression of his inner creative spirit. He began as a child sketching anything and everything with pencil, then moving into pen and ink comic book character design. As a teenager, he became fascinated with clay sculpting and charcoal portraits.
Over time, David has showcased his works in media such as character design for animated film shorts and comics as well as several murals including one featured at the NC School of Communication Arts to honor the families affected by the 911 attacks.
“I loved the creative expression that art allowed me to have no matter what medium was available. No rules just the quiet bliss of my imagination.”
David now lives in Sanford, NC with his wife, Karen and sons, Gabriel and Israel. For more info visit http://www.daggerroom.com/jdwelch/ or email David at:jdwelchideastolife@gmail.com
Studio 180 Salon supports the 2010 Cary Art Loop. David’s works will be featured at our Final Friday show and reception on July30th from 6 – 8pm. Click here for map or directions to Studio 180 Salon.

Art Opening at Cary Gallery May 28, 6-9pm
Posted by carygallery under News | Tags: art opening, Cary Gallery of Artists, monica hunter, Winnie Ferguson |Comments Off
Cary Gallery of Artists will hold a reception for local featured artists Winnie Ferguson, “Cat’n Around” (paintings), and Monica Hunter, “The Brite and the Beautiful” (jewelry) on May 28, 6-9 p.m., during Cary’s Artloop Final Friday. Show runs through June 22. 200 S. Academy St., Ashworth Village, Cary. 462-2035, www.carygalleryofartists.org
Winnie Ferguson: ‘Cat’n Around’
Cats have always been a part of my life but since the death of our old
friend “Milton” (at the age of 21), I began to add more cats to my
paintings. I have used cats I have loved and known, incorporating them
into many settings. I hope viewers can recall their own feline friends
as they enjoy my show this year.
Acrylic and oil are my media of choice for this show. Although I enjoy
palette knife for some work, these pieces are all painted with the
traditional brushes and paint. I have incorporated a sitting kitty on
a stone fence watching a grazing sheep in an Irish field, and my own red
tabby, Eubie, overseeing the sales at the Farmer’s Market in Raleigh.
I’m just cat’n around.
‘Peppers’ by Winnie Ferguson
Monica Hunter: ‘The Brite and the Beautiful’
I was asked to make earrings to be presented as a gift to Vice President Joe Biden during his visit to Cree headquarters on March 18th, 2010 . The earrings showcase one of the LED products manufactured by Cree, located in Durham, North Carolina.
Here is a photo of one of the pairs that I fabricated from sterling silver, 22kt gold overlay, and Cree LEDs.
Earrings are “Brite Lites” in honor of the Cree LED .

This month through July, we are pleased to show works by artist Richard Jason. Richard has been working with wood as a craftsman for 20 years. He has recently discovered a new twist to his passion – how to bring nature closer to those who may not be so fortunate to truly experience and appreciate it.
Each piece is individually custom handcrafted with birch or oak so you are guaranteed that your piece will be a “one-of-a-kind”.
Richard’s works will be on display and for sale at Studio 180 Salon starting in April, 2010 and we will be hosting an artist reception on Friday, April 30th 6-9pm.
