As a small protest against Mattel’s censorship of artists, Judith Chandler created this striking series of Barbie paintings and block prints.
The bold and bright colors resemble the works of Matisse, the first painting is even titled “Barbie sits in Matisse’s Garden”.
You may notice the faces of Barbie are block printed as well.
Judith is quite the accomplished artist. She has lived all around the world while teaching art, and has continued to teach here at the Cameron Art Museum.
I invite you to see her art in person, as the colors are so much more vibrant and the paintings are captivating. This show is on exhibit through October 21st.

One reason I’ve enjoyed opening the gallery to others is that it gives me an opportunity to learn about art techniques that I’m not familiar with.
has a background in architecture and I believe it really comes through in her large graphite drawing, as well as the linocuts and collagraph prints.
Print making is completely new to me and I love how detailed some of Toni’s prints are. However, Toni is quite multitalented and shows us the breadth of her skills with her watercolor and acrylic paintings.
I invite you to see this exhibit in person, as photos rarely do it justice. Reach out to schedule a visit.
All artwork is available for purchase. DM with inquiries and for the exhibit price list.

On view at Wilmington's .908 Fourth Friday Gallery Night September 23, 6-9 pm! 🤍🖤
If you’re accustomed to the idea that printmaking always involves the incision or engraving into metal that is then printed, you might want to know about a little thing called the collagraph—or collograph, as it is spelled in some circles.
Either way, it’s a term that amalgamates the two words collage and graphic, which gives a clue as to what this often-overlooked printmaking process is about—not just the construction of an image from various found elements, but also the subsequent use of this image for printing.
Sure enough, collagraph plates are created much like collages are, with paper and other textual elements typically being cut and pasted onto a stiff cardboard support. This is then printed using intaglio and/or relief methods.

Creative Explorers kids art class Week 2 completed and I’d say it was a great success.
I was nervous for the first class and didn’t quite know what to expect, but these kids did great. We learned about the color wheel and mixing colors. The kids mixed some pretty neat colors at the end. And week 2 we learned about Monet and his style of painting. The kids painted their own interpretation of water lilies.

One week of “going to work” here and I’m so freakin grateful for this place.
I feel like I have a long list of what I need and want to do and even though it can be overwhelming, I’ve just mostly felt at peace coming here.
I mean, I’m impatient and I want it to be all polished and existing in its full capacity…but I know that’s not how things work. This is a process. A process I know I need to take time with in really hashing out what I want in here. And I also understand that maybe what I envision now will look completely different in a year.
With all that said…come by this Friday, August 27, I’ll be open 6-9pm for Wilmington’s Fourth Friday gallery night.
