The Cameron Gallery Opening on Dragon Street
The Cameron Gallery is pleased to announce it's opening at 1414 Dragon Street, in the heart of the Dallas Design, Arts & Antiques district, located on the west side of Stemmons Freeway, at Oak Lawn Avenue.
Owner and resident artist, Carrie Cameron, has owned and operated a fine arts gallery, Galleria d'Arte, in McKinney, Texas for the past two and one-half years. Moving from her hometown of McKinney to Dallas is an exciting and challenging opportunity but one Cameron is embracing.
"Joining the other wonderful, world-class galleries, such as Craighead-Green Gallery, Gerald Peters Gallery, and Banks Fine Art, is so thrilling for us. My partners, Kristi and Steve Cameron, and I cannot wait to open our doors so we can bring our many wonderful and unique works of art to the Dallas art scene."
Specializing in a technique called 3-D oil sculpture, Carrie's paintings are a study in light, with a strong emphasis on color combined with multidimensional effect. Carrie's use of rich colors and thick textures reflects the artist's unique view of the complex beauty in her world. Her paintings are a study in light; the textures and colors creating a vibrancy that draws the eye and gives the work a life of its own. Carrie's art stems from a love of nature and a desire to realize and to maximize the beauty in all things. She lists the works of Cezanne and Van Gogh as major influences as well as her close friend and mentor, JD Miller, owner and principal artist of Reflection Fine Art. (www.relfectionfineart.com)
In December, 2007, Carrie was a featured guest artist at Reflection Fine Art Gallery, where contemporary artists are setting new standards by advancing the traditional techniques of the classic masters. As the impressionists strove to capture the beauty of the fleeting effects of light, reflectionists strive to capture the fleeting beauty of the moment in its entirety.not just record the impression of physical light, but record the full impact of each experience on mind, body, and spirit.
Justin Hunt is a master of the ancient technique of reverse glass painting. One of Galleria d'Arte's most successful and collectible artists, The Cameron Gallery welcomes Hunt's works at their new Dragon Street location. Using glass as his canvas and original window panes as his frames, Hunt's creations capture unparalleled attention to detail while simultaneously providing a voyeuristic experience for the viewer.
The Cameron Gallery will also specialize in one-of-a-kind works of art, including pottery, jewelry, and paintings. Of particular prominence will be the stunning glass creations by MarrsArt Glass. Focused on hand-blown glass objects ranging from platters and vases to hanging ornaments, Ron and Chris Marrs, a father and son glass artist team, has over 20 years experience at various cooperative studio locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and have been working together continuously for 9 years.
Inga Adams, William Kirkham, and Theresa Hollister are The Cameron Gallery's jewelry artists extraordinaire. Sterling silver and gold, precious and semi-precious gems, and natural stones and fossils are among the elements found in each of their unique designs. A combined 65+ years of making and designing jewelry is immediately evident in each piece offered by these talented professionals.
The Cameron Gallery will open in early March and will host monthly exhibitions for an eclectic group of artists, as well as special events, bringing to Dallas the signature trademarks of spirit and excitement in the visual arts from Carrie's Galleria d' Arte in McKinney. The gallery will also host a Grand Opening Gala benefiting the Love Life Foundation as it's first official exhibition debuting Carrie's newest creations, date to be announced.
