Meet This Artist: Bronwyn Watson, Ceramics Artist

There’s always an element of whimsy in my work. There’s always a little bit of a fairytale whimsy to it, and it just comes out, and there it is. It’s almost unintentional. It’s just there.

Meet This Artist: Shannon Bueker Reveals The Spirits of The Wild

Amidst a wilderness of animals and spirits of the wild, I met with artist Shannon Bueker. In fact, we were not out in the wilds of Chatham County, but in her home studio, densely-packed with her lush paintings of animals and people in their element and on the move. Almost indistinguishable at times, the forms are… Read More →

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001 a group… Read More →

Expect the Unexpected along North Chatham Avenue

In a shady flat, perched above the Sidewalk Cafe on W. Raleigh in Historic Downtown Siler City, resides a most peculiar workshop, betrayed only by the jungle of plants seen peering out of the second story window, and an occasional donation of a pair of retired tires waiting sheepishly at the foot the metal staircase… Read More →
