Down Creek Gallery will host an Art Opening on Wednesday, September 26th, 4:30-7:30pm. Down Creek Gallery will be featuring new works from local artists Debbie Wells, Crystal Canterbury, and Kitty Mitchell.
Debbie Wells's current paintings are acrylic on canvas. "These images incorporate figurative suggestions in silhouette and landscape elements in abstracted surroundings," she said. "I am also showing several 3-D pieces, some with bird skulls as the central element and a few small cow altars, as my fascination with the theme of 'sacred cows' continues.”
Photographer Crystal Canterbury volunteers for the National Park Service and NEST, works at the Ocracoke Visitor Center, maintains the British Cemetery, and writes for the Ocracoke Current. She became interested in photography in 2014 and enjoys taking scenic photographs and family portraits alike. You can find her work at Down Creek Gallery and on Facebook at Crystal Canterbury Photography.
Kitty Martin Mitchell’s work is greatly inspired by her father Charles R. Martin, who was a photographer. Kitty explores multiple mediums, oils, graphite, and acrylic paint. Kitty often utilizes many themes within her paintings that bring attention to world events, centralizing on global awareness.
Kitty currently instructs the Art program at Ocracoke School, and has done so for many, many years. She takes great pleasure and pride in “watching young artists bloom.”
