SUMMARY:Artist Spotlight - Ginny Lassiter
DESCRIPTION:We’re featuring works by abstract acrylic artist Ginny Kelly Lassiter from April 20 – June 20. The owner of Sunset River Marketplace for 20 years\, she sold the gallery in 2022 giving her much needed time to focus on her own artwork. This popular artist finds inspiration in the shapes and shadows of structural elements influenced by forms and spaces. Ginny\, who received her art degree from East Carolina University said\, “I love the process of painting abstracts\, the spontaneity of it and I embrace the value of limiting my palette.”  Ginny has taught here at the gallery as well as Wilson Community College and Barton College\, both in Wilson\, NC. She has also judged and juried shows for Sunset Vision\, Art League of Leland\, and in Wilmington\, NC. Her work has been featured on the covers of Carolina Arts Magazine and Art Guide Magazine. She has also been profiled in Sasee Magazine and South Brunswick Magazine. Be sure to come by and enjoy her featured work!

SUMMARY:Small Works Reception
DESCRIPTION:We are presenting our popular annual Small Works show with an opening reception on Friday\, June 5 from 5 – 7 p.m. The event\, which features both two- and three-dimensional works will run through Sunday\, July 19 (leading into the gallery’s three-day Summer Art Market July 17 – 19).Thirty-six artists are participating in the show. Gallery director Samantah Spalti said\, “We love putting together this show of smaller pieces (nothing larger than 12” x 16”). The idea is to offer visitors fine art that’s easy to take home with them. Locals love it because it seems people are always looking for that special little piece! And our artists work in virtually all media\, so you never know what you’ll find at this show.” Shown: Small Works 2025

SUMMARY:Artist Spotlight - William West
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring  works by William West as our Artist Spotlight from June 29 through August 29. Known primarily for his work in watercolor\, Bill also enjoys acrylic paints\, which are what will be on display here. A native of Durham\, NC\, Bill left for 20 years\, graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota\, entered the ad business in New York City\, then Atlanta\, and then San Antonio . He won many national creative awards. After selling his own advertising agency business\, he immersed himself in painting  and enjoys  painting a number of different subjects. He says\, “Through my journey as an artist I’m continually looking\, studying \,and learning and believe that’s part of being an artist. You must always keep growing and painting and painting and painting. What gets me into a subject is the light and darks\, the atmosphere \,and the story you want to tell . It should not just be a pretty picture. My biggest challenge is to find or create a painting that does all three\, to bring a viewer into the painting and connect with something about the story idea and see themselves there. If I accomplish a smile all the better.”

SUMMARY:Gail Black's Wild Places
DESCRIPTION:Oil painter Gail Black is a native North Carolinian whose landscape work of local marshlands and wetlands is being featured in Wild Places here at the gallery from Sept.18 through Oct. 24 with an opening reception on the 19th from 2 – 4 p.m. Gail’s painting style is representational but e emphasizes a strong abstract structure with contrasting values and bolt paint application that results in paintings that spark excitement with her abstracted view of nature. The strongly textured work portrays a sense of a subject rather than its precise image. Speaking about the wild places left. in the Carolinas\, the artist says\, “These extraordinary and untouched areas are vanishing at an alarming pace. I want to share these places with the world before they have totally vanished and leave a visual record for the future. I hope this visual. history will find homes where they can nourish the viewers’ souls and pass on our mutual love of extraordinary places.” Gail will be generously donating 50% of her proceeds to the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust!
