"Photography is my passion. Gourmet cook. Lover of cats, dogs, and red wine." - @brucebarone

When many think of the High Point Furniture Market, the first thing that comes to mind (aside from the 10 million square feet of incredible showroom space!) is meeting people you haven’t yet met, as well as seeing old friends and colleagues at the many mixers, dinners and events that take place just inside a week.

We had the opportunity to sit down with friend and photographer Bruce Barone at the Spring 2012 market and had him explain why he loves coming to High Point, why he will be back and what makes High Point Furniture Market the world’s leading trade show for the home furnishings industry!

Follow Bruce on Twitter @BruceBarone, ‘like’ him on Facebook and tell him the folks from @LinkingTriad sent you!

High Point Furniture Market : Fine Artist Carolyn McDonald

April 27, 2012 by 1 Comment

Artist Carolyn McDonaldAuthor and Fine Artist Carolyn McDonald was a pleasant discovery at High Point Furniture Market thanks in large part to Time Frame who showcased her work.

Carolyn’s bold colors and ‘one a day’ style was a refreshing break from the trite.

You can feel her sense of joy and unique commitment to color in what many would consider mundane subject matter. It was her visible joy in the everyday that drew me in and piqued my interest.

“My inspiration comes from my surroundings and relationships.  I hope to be a student the rest of my life.  I learn from painters such as Degas, Cassatt, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Sargent, Hopper, and Thiebaud.  Also, I gain perspective and skill from more modern day masters such as Dawn Whitlaw, Michael Shane Neal, Paula Frizbe, Timothy Thies, and Carol Marine.”

100 For 100 Event at The Center For Visual Artists

April 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Currently on display at the CVA Gallery. Piece is made entirely of cardboard.

When is the last time you have been Downtown to the Greensboro Cultural Center? I have to admit that as someone who is born and raised in Greensboro, I don’t take advantage of visiting the great art, music, retail, food and historical venues we have at our disposal Downtown as often as I should or as I would like to.

I will, however, be going to this:

On Friday, April 20, 2012 there is a great free event that will be featuring 100 different works from 100 different local artists held at The Center for Visual Artists on the 2nd floor of the Greensboro Cultural Center. Some of you may know the building better if I say that it is across from Center City Park and that Cafe Europa is connected to it.

Each artist has been given a 10×10″ canvas to work with and each piece will be offered for $100 with all proceeds going towards sustaining the Center for Visual Artists. Works are available first come, first serve so you may want to get there early to acquire your favorite. It may end up being my creation, as I was asked by Gallery Curator Kristy Thomas to contribute!

For more information about the Center for Visual Artists check out www.greensboroart.org.
