Our Operations Manager, Tanner Lawley, is traveling in July to Honduras to build a house for a homeless family. He will manage a staff of volunteers who are all donating their time and energy toward a good cause. JD Miller was so inspired by Lawley’s mission that he donated a 3-D oil painting to help raise funds for the trip. Taylor Art & Frame donated the custom Italian porcelain frame and Laura Baldwin took home the original JD Miller piece. We’d like to thank Will Taylor, Gregory Beck, Dick & Nicke Hetzel, Xanthy Sotiriadis, Michael Brusard, and Randall Cass for their generous donations.

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting JD Miller’s new painting studio. It was like a movie set of the quintessential artist’s studio. It was right in front of me and I had to take a picture so I could share it with everyone who reads the blog. Enjoy!

Lots of new faces came through the gallery doors on Saturday, May 5th and Sunday, May 6th. We held a special sales event for artist, Alexandra Nechita. As Nechit’as grandmother watched, Nechita met with new collectors, dedicated works and signed her book “Hands and Dove”.
A select few of her works will be available for a limited time here at the gallery so call us if you didn’t get a chance to come in during the show. 214-965-9027

On Saturday, May 5, the gallery celebrated Cinco de Mayo by hosting an event for child art prodigy, Alexandra Nechita. Though she is now 21 and attending UCLA, her child-like innocence radiated as she painted with the kids on paper rolled out like a red carpet covering the gallery floors.
The thing that struck me most was how the little ones were unaware they were in the presence of one of the most prolific artists of our time. The priority of the day was to create a masterpiece while playing and I imagine many families are displaying the child’s work of art on their refrigerators.
Who knows… we may have witnessed a new creative spirit’s inspired birth as children explored color and form in water color, crayon and marker.
