Rushingwater Studios


Studio 180 Salon and Lucid Element Multimedia are proud to support our local arts community by serving as a host venue for the Cary Art Loop’s Final Friday events. On the final Friday of select months, we feature a local artist with a reception and cocktail from 6-9 pm. So, come join us at the studio for great works, wine and hors de’ oeuvres and get in the Loop!

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.

A Walk in the Garden by Faye Silliman

A Walk in the Garden by Faye Silliman

You know what they say – the third time is usually the charm. After being blessed with so much snow, we are finally going to celebrate the opening of Faye Silliman’s show at Studio 180 Salon! Please join us this Friday from 6-9pm for the Cary Art Loop’s Final Friday crawl and support the arts in our community. Frosty is going to have to sit this one out!

This month through April, we are pleased to show works by Faye Silliman. Faye is a local artist, albeit a bit of a world traveler. Her background played an extensive role in creating her broad artistic vision – due in part to her father’s military career and her nomadic lifestyle, which continued throughout her adult life.

Early childhood years were spent living on the edge of the jungle in Panama. Her family frequently boated throughout the Caribbean – especially to Trinidad and neighboring islands. In later years, she lived in Europe.

The colorful tropical influences, diverse cultures, and Asian furnishings that filled her childhood home, add a definite flavor to her paintings. Faye’s creative spirit was always there gathering notes as she found her way back to her native home in North Carolina. Her works are true reflections of rich and unique cultural influences.

“Painting is like breathing to me – unconscious and necessary.”

Faye’s paintings are currently on display and for sale at Studio 180 Salon and we will be hosting an artist reception on Friday, February 26th 6-9pm.
