Many of the pieces were painted from found images and personal photographs. I find her blending of light, color & images to be stirring in a singular fashion. In an earlier time, I had an opportunity to acquire a piece of her art called 'Smush' and have been an appreciator of her art ever since. I would encourage those who find joy in art to google her website on-line.

Great Art Space! Went to their June Juried Show (opening and award ceremony) and saw some really…read morecool work. It was definitely a great mix of mediums from photography, to sculpture, to paintings, and mixed media. It was very interesting to meet some of the artists and see the work that won in their categories. It was also nice to see the camaraderie between the artists since the place really keeps to its "small town" roots and everyone was really familiar with each other and their works. They also offer classes and workshops along with studio space rental for artists and members. My one gripe is the lack of parking. There is a gravel lot out back, but if there is a first Friday or gallery opening, it's hard to find a space. The building they are in is very cool (renovated warehouse) and is right off the street - unfortunately the parking is meant for warehouse parking so they may remedy this in the future as they grow.

This is a co-op gallery run by the artists, and is a part of the Stanly Arts Guild.

There were vr codes that you scan to get more info on the piece that you're looking at. This gallery is spacious with a loft Absolutely stunning. Right in the heart of South end. You should go - Oh and when you do go to Vana right across the street for some yummy food!

I remember when this old church caught fire years ago. I think I was in middle school... The story…read moreI heard was that several homeless people lit a fire in the then empty church to stay warm. They lost control of the fire and the church almost burnt to the ground. The empty, hollowed out skeleton of the church sat abandoned for years. Eventually, the McColl Center came along to bring this gorgeous building back to life! Now, it hosts art exhibits created by visiting artists from all over the world. Most recently, I visited Leah Rosenberg's Color for the People exhibit. It is fun, interactive, vibrant, and of course, full of color! I also enjoyed Nelson Morales' photography. The Fall 2017 residency ends this week and while I'm sad to see the latest class go, I'm excited to meet the next batch of artists to bring their gifts to Charlotte! The next time you're uptown and looking for something to do, I encourage you to visit McColl! Admission is free (with a suggested donation of $5) and they're open Tuesday through Saturday. If you're lucky enough to catch an artist working with their door open, you're encouraged to go into their office/studio and say hello. It's a great chance to meet the artist and learn more about their work!

Bear in mind it's really an event space but they welcome passersby to view the art downstairs.

I have been shopping at Stewart's Gallery for as long as I can remember. I'll say 15 years. Every…read moretime I go I am surprised by the many new items and artists. It's still like going to a curated artisan show- everything is very professionally made, and there is a wide range of prices to make affordability not an issue. I've bought many wedding gifts here, as well as gifts for family and friends, not to mention myself. Bill and Holly have an ease about them. They are happy to let you browse but are there if you have questions or need help. They are in a great location and have a few parking places out front and there is public parking very close by. Go check out Stewart's Gallery- you will be glad that you did!
