INTRODUCING SHELDON RICHARDS
This month, Ghostwolf invites you to come meet our newest full-time artist, Sheldon Richards! Sheldon's textures and brushwork are something you absolutely must see in person to appreciate and we are thrilled to have him as a regular artist at the gallery! Sheldon enjoys playing with the theoretical components of art. His work explores combining different materials, styles, and methods of representation. Though sometimes there are narrative thematic elements in his pieces, they are usually secondary to the feeling of the piece. Sheldonsays his favorite aspect of painting is its ability to tell incomplete stories that leave you with more questions than answers. We know you will have a few for him this First Friday ARTScrawl. Join us!
