Art

 

Welcome to the Royal Bean Coffee House blog.  This is our art blog page where we show off the current art exhibits on display at the Royal Bean.  Each artist’s exhibit will be here for a six week period, and then we rotate to another set of artists.  We’ve been offering our walls for artist for almost 7 years.  One of our walls is dedicated to Meredith students to display their work here at the Bean, also.  We delight in the opportunity to support the art community and to give our customers a visually pleasing atmosphere.

 

The current art exhibit time period will be from

04/01/12 thru 05/12/12

BIO:

Art feeds my soul. Making art, reading about art, viewing art, thinking about art… these are the recurring themes of my life. Although I’ve taken many workshops and classes over the years, I consider myself a self-taught artist.  From pencil to pen and ink, to watercolors, to pastels, to acrylics and oil paint, I’ve worked in multiple mediums but have recently narrowed my focus to oil and acrylics.  I still spend many hours drawing, but when the paintbrush is in my hand is when my art comes alive.

My style is somewhere between painterly and realism and my subject is nature… at least for today.  I’m captivated by the clouds in the sky, the turn of a leaf, the beauty of a flower and the myriad of things that might catch my eye on my daily walks.  Rendering not only what I see, but the feelings these scenes evoke, is my goal and my challenge.
