Chad Davis

I had the pleasuree of meeting Garden City’s Chad Davis this past weekend at the People’s Art Festival. Chad was exhibiting his found wood sculptures along with his acrylic transfer mixed media pieces. Both of which are excellent. I was impressed with how clean his work was, and at first glance I thought that they were silkscreen. Much more of his work can be viewed in his Flickr Photostream.

Recap: Sarah Burger @ City Bird

This post should give you an idea of how far behind we are on blogging. Not only do we have pictures from a few events to share still, we’re up to our eyeballs in submissions as well. Hang tight. Or send interns. And doughnuts!

It was all the way back on June 25th that we visited City Bird during the Canfield Street Market, and we saw Sarah Burger’s lovely art pieces. They were like beautiful, glittery, three dimensional topographical maps, made of felt and vintage sewing patterns.

Enjoy the rest of our belated photo gallery behind the cut.

Michele Bosak

There’s something very calming about these gouache paintings by Grand Rapids artist Michele Bosak. They’re done on vintage scrapbook paper, and the openness of the drawings make the faded paper all the more prominent.

See more of her work at michelebosak.com. She also has some prints and originals for sale on Etsy.

Earth Day and Beyond – Rivers Edge Gallery

The Artwork of Amy Rice

I am really liking the artwork Minneapolis’s Amy Rice. Amy combines spraypaint stencil, gouache, acrylic and found objects to create simple yet beautiful pieces. I love her use of stencils to create the line work and then paints in the details by hand. But perhaps my favorite aspect of her work is her use of found letters and envelopes on which she creates her pieces.
