Colette Fairman
Right out of Sherwood Forest, literally, Colette captures the essence of the forest with gleaming spiritual light breaking through the trees. A popular addition, her style adds a dimension to nature paintings that is rare, cherished, and appreciated. Being from the hurricane Helene zone, she gives liberally to the community.
Mark Bettis
Asheville’s own in Highlands.
Renown for beautiful abstract representational vistas that inspire visions and memories of cities, villages, and mountain views, Mark is in demand.
His work provides a wonderful ambience. Color choices blend so well into shapes, symbols, and suggestions, that interior designers, art collectors, and less arty folks looking for a fun and wonderful piece all agree that Mark’s work is ripe for the picking.
An artist that sells everything he makes, we’re fortunate to have him, to support rebuilding his River Arts Gallery.
Harry James Moody
The recent book on renowned Harry Moody celebrates one of the great contributors to the abstract art scene. His German beginnings lead him to Karl Otto Götz, where Gerhard Richter was also student. Both mentored Harry before he went on to study with Joseph Beuys.
Once in America, he became one of the famed ‘Atwater 5’, transforming the LA art scene, developing global following. Many consider Harry one of the top 2 living nondescript abstract artists.
Spending an hour with Harry is like a lifetime unto itself. He is a magical presence filled with delightful tales, as he shares his intimate process for creation, showing tools and technique.
Owning his work will not only be an increasing asset, it will be a joy to gaze upon, engage your mind, while evolving your perception.
In making abstract concrete, be clear, be confident, and don’t overthink. The beauty is that you’re going to continue to evolve and your collection can evolve with it. If it feels great for right now, it is!
Ann DerGara
When you’re 12 years old and pick up a brush, sell your first painting, find yourself never having had a job other than ‘painter’, then you know how it feels to be Ann DerGara.
Award-winning, global-selling, prolific to the point of painting several pieces per week for decades, selling everything she makes…
Ann is an approachable, humble, and delightful person, who painted originals specifically for our gallery and you.
Lauded as a world class printmaker, etcher, and serigraph artist, Ann’s first love is painting - animals, nature, abstract…
Dr Steve Hinkey
Steve is in another category all together. He began generating art for the sole purpose of looking into his patients diagnostically with telepathic vision.
His patients overcome serious life-threatening disease and trauma, learn to navigate difficult life breakdowns, and integrate spiritual breakthroughs.
Eventually Dr Hinkey discovered his drawings are innately therapeutic and transformational as well, and revolutionized health care in medicine, alternative medicine, and esoteric healing. He then advanced the meditation community by drawing group meditations live during 800 events, called Healing Theater, and now offers several types of drawings and mediums in the gallery. It is something special to take in.
John Gibson
The grand master of gourds, and renown creator of natural inspirations, John manifests heart-rendering wall sculpture, tribal masks, and elegant birch tree scenes.
John is an award-winning artist, who showed in Southern and Western cowboy towns, and is nearing the end of his amazing career.
Barbara Jamison
Local favorite Barbara Jamison graces our gallery.
Prolific, with great flair for nature — in a signature style that inspires collecting — her art is both elegant and full of life force.
Those who know Barbara have great good fortune, and know her artistic ideals include serving our community through art boards and direction as well as creating great art.
Laurie Lea
New to Art Highlands, featured at Cullasaja Club as well, Laurie is a cultural artist with installations both indoors, and outdoors in important settings in New York City, as well as the countryside. Fun.
Luis Sanchez
Luis is a superlative creator of all things art. A true Renaissance man, he excels at figurative and abstract painting, found object mixed-media work, bronze figurative sculpture, murals, interior decorative art, and has even designed a line of artful ceramic clocks.
No matter where you immerse yourself in his ways, you are sure to appreciate the incredible detail and the passion in his work.
We currently house the last one of 5 magnificent bronzes, and several small and medium paintings that are his signature blend of exotic textures that inspire.
Yari Ostovany
Yari is an amazingly clear and visionary guy.
His work infuses romantic and heart-opening colors dancing in fogs and permutations that inspire memories and dreams of landscapes and escapades, and are exceptionally photogenic.
We have several smaller pieces that at first look intriguing, then provocative, that fill a unique void in your home or office with deep inspirations.
Clara Berta
Clara is another of our very advanced abstract artists that has a direct connection to expressing the heart of man and nature as living trust.
She is world renown, widely collected, has been on major TV design shows, and her work has graced movie sets.
Her use of oceans of color, and ‘selective pours’ with intent to inspire, relax, and heal from within make a perfect fit for your home and office.
Charles Sherman
Much can be said about Charles, as his prolific career is exquisite to behold in all its forms.
Charles’ sculpture creations are based on a three-dimensional form of Mobius strip, sacred geometry.
An artist who holds love as the primary motive in all things, his creations can really enhance your entire collection, or be a great place to begin.
Charles’ work freshens and stimulates environments with love.
“If I could make one statement about art, it’s that the essence of art is that it's a verb, not a noun. It´s a process, and when you fully understand that, you let the art take its own course.”
Michael Hayden
Michael is a charming and delightful personality who shines in the studio and while entertaining. As an encaustic artist, he uses melted beeswax, pigments, oils, and resins to masterfully create lush colorful paintings with translucent luminosity.
‘Enkaustikos’ means “to heat or to burn”, and started in Greece around 4BC. Heat guns and torches fuse multiple layers of wax generating one of the most archival methods of painting, as pigments suspended in beeswax never fade.
Influenced by Jasper Johns, Rothko, and Diebenkorn, Michael invites you to a place of meditation and contemplation.
“Every painting tells a story. I spend a lot of time near the ocean studying colors and shapes from the sea to sky. I find endless inspiration in the horizon line.”
In our experience, those who gaze at Michael’s work are enchanted by the endless depth, and images that invoke memories or joyful dreams.
Suzan Lotus Obermeyer
Suzie hails from Aspen Colorado, as part of the great Obermeyer clan that have demonstrated the power of love and positive thinking in life, nature, and art for a long time.
She has featured in dozens of shows, expos, and retreats with places like Aspen Anderson Ranch, generating work with a natural spiritual infusion that moves you.
Suzan sells everything she makes, between 2 major galleries. We are fortunate to be one of them, and to have her art on hand, with more arriving often. Stop in to look!
Rick Lazes
Sculptor extraordinaire. Glass, metal, resin — wave after wave of elegant provocation. Including his famous paper doll acrylics.
Comptes Florencia Clement de Grandprey
Having known Florencia for 15 years, it is amazing to watch her journey through such radical growth and transformation in art.
Known as a competitor, Flo entered about 100 art expos, challenges, prizes — having won or finished in the top 5 many times.
Her specialty is gorgeous paintings using carpet as canvas. She examines Navaho and other Native American rugs, as well as Persian and other rugs, until a face appears, then she reveals the face to us. Her subjects radiate soul and spiritual poise, and are sometimes famous people.
Sunny Redmond
Sunny is a magnificent collage artist and photographer living in Taos NM, in the heart of the pueblos, desert scenery, and old west. An artist’s dream location, and Sunny’s work delivers.
She was a top supermodel in the 1970’s. With her flaming red hair, and tall physique, top designers loved her. She gave it up to be a river guide on the Grand Canyon for many years, being one of the only guides to never dump a boat!
Her art relates global essence that’s architectural, natural, social, reclusive, civil, and raw. We think you’ll love it.
James P Kerr
James is a brilliant artist, a wildly popular impressionist delighting crowds with fun and interesting subjects, and cover artist in June Laurel Magazine.
From mountain scenes to farm animals to elegant motifs, the art dances with waves of brush strokes, as we step back to allow the image to sharpen. For discerning collectors, and all art lovers.
Paul Arsenault
Plein air maestro, is always ready to capture scenes, have-easel-will-travel and paint!
Stop by to delight in the work, sure to make your day complete.
Widely collected from Cap d’Antibes to Maine to Naples to Highlands, Paul is expanding his art of the Appalachians, painting our Main Street, Lake Ravenel, the Biltmore, and mountains. Come enjoy!
