ArtFields 2017

YEAR FIVE

ArtFields started in 2013 with a simple goal: honor the artists of the Southeast with nine day’s worth of celebration and competition in the heart of a small Southern town. The competition offers enormous opportunities to all artists in all media who live in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

Accepted artists are invited to exhibit their work in one of the historic downtown Lake City venues for nine days. Venues include everything from a former mercantile to an historic barbershop. This year I am honored and humbled to have my accepted artwork: BLACK COTTON, hang at a very historic barbershop: JOE’S BARBER SHOP.

I am proud and humbled to have exhibited in ArtFields in years past along side so many magnificant Southern artists.

DRESSED FOR A PICNIC

Like a bridge over troubled waters, appreciation and fun when given in context can heal wounds that cross generations. The young lady before you (not labeled but clearly of the millennial generation) wearing her “picnic dress” spied the folk art before you (on a levee wall holding back the Mississippi) and leapt at the chance to say: Can I go with you too?

Rendered in an old school style with modern tools and fashion au courant, Dressed for a Picnic bridges the gap of fine and folk art with an appreciation of all that is beautiful.
