Contemporary southern folk art, NC wood-fired pottery, and custom picture framing
Featured Artist
Joe Engel
Joe Engel has sent 3 new pieces of art! Being mixed-media, I’m actually not sure they should be categorized as painting, although paints are involved. Onto a sturdy wooden structure, Joe applies metal, torn & sometimes dyed paper, sometimes scraps of aluminum foil, ink, graphite & paints to create complex textures, themes and ideas which also remain accessible; full of story lines that keep us wondering and engaged…We love the energy they share, and we are happy to share him with you! To see all of Joe’s creations: click here! If you have questions or would like to know more, just ask: 828-281-2134.
