Make sure you stop by and check out the newest artist on display at the gallery, Deanna Wilson.  Her abstracts are incredible, you could almost get lost looking into one of them.  Check out her bio and a couple shots of her work below.

Bio

Deanna grew up in Utah surrounded by the beauty and splendor of the mountains as well as the vastness and starkness of the desert. The influences of her environs prove vital as color, depth, and line emerge in each painting and speak to this strong and elusive presence.

Deanna began painting seriously in the early ‘80s, first with more traditional imagery, and now allowing emotion to translate into art in a more abstract manner arriving at the essences of concept. Deanna moved to Dallas from Salt Lake City, Utah  in 1977 and married in 1978. She returned to school after her children were out of elementary school and graduated from UTD in 1994 with a BA in American Studies. Deanna has lived in Plano, Texas since 1980. She has served on the Plano Cultural Arts Center board twice since that time, and was the editor/publisher of their first newsletter.

Sorry for the lack of updates!  It has been crazy busy, both personally and at the gallery.  I need to get back into the habit of posting on the blog regularly, as well as keeping everyone updated on Facebook and Twitter.  So expect regular updates soon.

Here are some recent shots from the gallery.  Remember, our customer appreciation sale runs through July!

We just picked up several new pieces from Jim a couple days ago.  Included in the bunch was “Vogue,” a mixed media and acrylic piece that measures 36″ x 48.”  This might be one of my all-time favorites so far of his.  

Thank you to everyone who came out to support Alexis on opening night.  We had a great turn out and I had the chance to mingle and meet people, unlike our gallery’s grand opening.  That’s not true.  I guess I mean that I could enjoy meeting people at the Punk’d Inside opening, whereas the grand opening was one enormous blur in my memory of chaos and mayhem.

Anyways, make sure to come check out this incredible body of work Alexis has put together.  Open your minds and pretend you don’t live in Dallas for 10 minutes.  I promise you will enjoy it!  :)
