Other paintings are graffiti-Inspired with vivid neons and/or spray paint. A consistent undercurrent drives the work. Details to come after the artwork Is photographed. Sidenote: I have started concepting a book about my life to include narratives of the childhood and adult trauma I endured, events that those traumas manifested, and the lifeline that my work in art is to discovering the truth about it all.

Ivory Plate [Paper Series / 2023] is likely my favorite work in the central nine from my current exhibition. It is delicate, yet severe. The color is mild, yet distinct. I love that most of the delicate work is covered by a crudely cut swath of buttery paper with a scalloped edge. See the work in my show at Crossroads Art Center through September 2.

“And take this paper heart to keep you safe …” This lyric from Natalie Merchant’s “The Feast of St. Valentine” inspired my paper sculpture, Rook. I saw her concert in Washington, DC in early July and have listened to her new album (and masterpiece manifesto) “Keep Your Courage” numerous times every day since. It has become the soundtrack to my initial work in paper, currently on exhibition at Crossroads Art Center in Richmond Rook, mixed media and paper, 29.5x11x11 inches (variable), 2023 #keepyourcourage #nataliemerchant #AppalachianContemporary #RoanokeArts #RoanokeCollegeArts #RoanokeCollegeAlumni #RVAmakers #RVAarts #RVAartists #CrossroadsArtCenter #PaperWorks #paperwork #WorksinPaper #3d #Sculpture #PaperSculpture #ArtistsInspiringArtists #Love #VirginiaArts #VirginiaArtists #VirginiaLiving #RVAstyle #RVAhome #Rhome #RichmondHome #RichmondStyle #RichmondIFDA #newWork

After spending some time with the mechanics of paper and glue and paint and how they interact, I was ready to add color to the Paper Series. The first works were monochromatic or metallic, so I started what would become “Chartreuse Plate” with caution. It has become a pivot point in the series, a stepping stone to bolder and more confident work in paper. This was the largest one in the series so far, and the folding and assembly were more complex. Yellow paint and graphite dust, which turned an unpleasant brown-green-gold, provided a foundation on which to build chartreuse, a color I have loved since childhood. I saw chartreuse as an elegant color, quirky and sophisticated, a color for the privileged and the accomplished and never for the timid. I still think of it this way. And then something happened … with the addition of color, the Paper Series moved from ancient rune-tinged objects to more optimistic sudden modernity. Chartreuse Plate was sleek, yet retained a handmade effect that I value in my work and work by others. Lavender Plate developed as a potential companion piece to Chartreuse Plate, but when completed, it functions just as well as a standalone. If I have something to say about chartreuse, you can be sure that lavender comes with its own set of assumptions, assertions, and rules. I am leaving that for another day.

The first works in my new Paper Series, a new body of work that brings decorative and surface elements of my nearly two decades of painting into a three-dimensional realm of folded, cut, twisted, and glued paper.

The magnolia has been popping up as a motif for me in unexpected places over the past year. So last fall I started painting them. I thought I would explore something more based in realistic rendering. I did, but then I added the graphic element of wallpaper and I liked it better. I have painted several small magnolia paintings that may or may not be finished. But just this week, I finished ‘Sadnolia.' I am showing it beside the first large magnolia painting I did for context and contrast. It’s clear that ‘Sadnolia' is another piece in The July Series. I’ve been trying to wrap up The July Series, but it keeps calling me back. duanecregger.com/TheJulySeries duanecregger.com instagram.com/Duane Cregger facebook.com/duanecregger.artist #AppalachianContemporary #TheJulySeries #RVAmakers #RVAarts #RVAartists #CrossroadsArtCenter #VirginiaArts #VirginiaArtists #VirginiaLiving #RVAstyle #RVAhome #Rhome #RichmondHome #RichmondStyle #RichmondIFDA #RoanokeArts #RoanokeCollegeArts #RoanokeCollegeAlumni #midatlanticArtists #midatlanticArts #artcollector #oilpainting #magnolia #DCArts #DCArtsandCulture #abstraction #floral

My friend from back home, Pamela Hastings, and I have been acquainted for a long time. We are both from the same place in the heart of Appalachia. She has been very kind to me, even though we don’t know that much about each other beyond casual interaction. Today she posted her cross-stitch work. And it blew me away. My recent paintings from The July Series look so much like it. The July Series is one that I feel close to personally and one also that I am apprehensive about how it will be received as a departure from my other work and in my struggle to communicate what it actually is. Her cross-stitch and other forms of regional art use symbols of events to create a storytelling, one of the most pervasive forms of Appalachian art. And The July Series does this, too. We put our memories and the events that need to be recorded out into the world, often without regard for an artistic style or a specific aesthetic. Yet the same aesthetic is there across so much Appalachian art. Many may see it as naive, but authentic is what it truly is. It speaks from the heart of human experience. So today I am especially grateful to Pam for giving me a little more insight into my work, into my heart. #AppalachianContemporary #RVAmakers #RVAarts #RVAartists #CrossroadsArtCenter #VirginiaArts #VirginiaArtists #VirginiaLiving #RVAstyle #RVAhome #Rhome #RichmondHome #RichmondStyle #RichmondIFDA #RoanokeArts #RoanokeCollegeArts #RoanokeCollegeAlumni #midatlanticArtists #midatlanticArts #artcollector #oilpainting

Since 1990, the biennial has shown select work from artists within a 200-mile radius of the college and is open to work in all media. This exhibition was curated by Laura Dvorkin ( @ladvorkin ), co-curator of The Bunker Artspace: Collection of Beth Rudin DeWoody in West Palm Beach.

[THE JULY SERIES] Paintings with Words I’ve been working on a series of paintings that are a break from my previous work in many ways, but the most obvious is the use of words written into the paint. Some have said over the years that the marks I make in the surface suggest a sort of vernacular, hinting at language. Well the words finally came … and The July Series was born. These images are the first 10 pages from my new catalog; you can view a high-resolution PDF of the series here: http://duanecregger.com/TheJulySeries.pdf #AppalachianContemporary #RVAmakers #RVAarts #RVAartists #CrossroadsArtCenter #VirginiaArts #VirginiaArtists #VirginiaLiving #VirginiaIsForArtLovers #VirginiaIsForLovers #RVAstyle #RVAhome #Rhome #RichmondHome #RichmondInteriors #RichmondStyle #RichmondIFDA #RoanokeArts #RoanokeCollegeArts #RoanokeCollegeAlumni #DCArts #DCArtsandCulture #midatlanticArtists #midatlanticArts #oilpainting #coldwax #artcollector #Studiotime #workinprogress #newwork

I'm not sure exactly what this painting is about. But I know that every detail made perfect sense as it was being painted. It's a departure from recent work, but it also builds on the mark-making and use of symbols and vague objects present in much of my work. While quietly painting this over the past couple months, I got very excited. I couldn't wait to get back to it each day. And it changed in ways I didn't anticipate. I have incorporated words into this. Words that began with a "Don't." That seemed harsh. Then replaced with "Do Not." And I said, "Do not what?" The central image is a hummingbird, which brings me to memories of the mountains and home. Hummingbirds are common there and although we saw them often, they inspired a new amazement every time. "Do not what?" DO NOT HUM. PLEASE. Please do not hum. So now I have this fairly outsider work in oil. With a strangeness and either good advice or an admonition written across its face. And I showed it in progress to a genius friend and collector of my work in my studio a couple weeks ago. She thought it might be hers. Well, now it is.

I just completed a series of new work, and I am so happy that it's part of Crossroads Art Center's 20th anniversary event. Crossroads supports artists in countless ways, and it has been my anchor since 2006 when Jennifer Kirby took two of my paintings and within days had sold both of them. The first paintings I ever sold. For a few years after, I was Crossroads highest-selling artist. As I grew, I was engaged by other galleries, designers, and individual collectors. I had some big shows at a few rarefied spaces, and I won an award or two. But I relied always on Crossroads to be my anchor. So thank you, Jenni, for being a visionary and a doer, leading this ragtag band of 225 artists forward for 20 years and making a giant difference in the lives of many wonderful and talented people. Here's to 20 more! Oh — and come see my new work this Friday, May 20, from 6-9pm. Details to come .... #AppalachianContemporary #RVAmakers #RVAarts #RVAartists #CrossroadsArtCenter #VirginiaArts #VirginiaArtists #VirginiaLiving #VirginiaIsForArtLovers #VirginiaIsForLovers #RVAstyle #RVAhome #Rhome #RichmondHome #RichmondInteriors #RichmondStyle #RichmondIFDA #RoanokeArts #RoanokeCollegeArts #RoanokeCollegeAlumni #DCArts #RVAvisualarts #richmondvisualarts #midatlanticArtist #midatlanticArtists #midatlanticArts #oilpainting #coldwax #artcollector #newwork

I didn’t pick up a paintbrush throughout all of 2021. It was the first year since 2004 that I had not created a body of work. Looking back, I’m a little shocked. Tonight as I’m setting up my studio to paint in 2022, I came across this little box with an inscription: “DC: What is an artist if not God’s spokesperson to humanity. — Mother Nile” It was given to me by my high school art teacher, Nile Linkous. I’ve always looked back to her a little unsure of exactly what she did for me, but nevertheless grateful and certain that it was something profound. Sometimes I think she might have meant that when we paint, we speak to our own humanity. It’s an inner process, not a broadcast. I’ll think about that as I start to paint again this year. #AppalachianContemporary #RichmondArts #RVAmakers #Rhome #RichmondStyle #RVAartists #contemporaryart #artistsofinstagram #RichmondHome #virginialiving #virginiaisforartlovers #crossroadsartcenter #VirginiaArtsandCulture #VirginiaArts #VirginiaArtists #midAtlanticartists #DCarts #RichmondVA #RichmondInteriors #RichmondDesign #InteriorDesign #OilonCanvas #ContemporaryPainting #inspiration #gratitude
Tonight is the closing episode of Hulu's 'Dopesick' starring Michael Keaton. This docudrama about the opioid epidemic has become important to me in a couple ways. The area where I grew up and the mountain people I love were attacked by Big Pharma during one of the most heinous corporate crimes in American history. The set of the hallway outside the corporate boardroom also uses my diptych 'Rabbitrine' as a sort of fly on the wall. The series is hard to watch. The storylines are tragic. And these paintings — which had been created in an unexpected moment of catharsis over my own painful experiences — took on a parallel meaning for me. The hardworking rural people who were my friends and family were also bullied — and worse. Their very lives were taken by individual and corporate greed. I've attached a few snapshots of the television screen where my work is a backdrop to evil being plotted. I've also attached a few photos of 'Rabbitrine' in happier settings in galleries, with my sisters, and on the front page of my hometown newspaper (which printed a great interview). Anyway, watch 'Dopesick.' It's pretty shocking.

I was reminded of this sweet color palette today in a chat with a designer whom I'm very happy to be working with. This painting, Force.Bloom, was part of my exhibition at Palette Home in the summer of 2018. It was a dual show with Sarah Trundle (a Charlottesville artist and friend), and we had a great time pulling it all together. I was excited that this large painting sold before the opening, but that also meant that very few people had the opportunity to see it. So here it is ... one of my forgotten favorites and a painting that flowed onto the canvas with more ease than I'm accustomed to.

As I finish up the pieces I will offer in the Botanical Studies* JEWELS of NATURE series, I am reflecting on what these pieces have meant to me. I've long used nature & organic design in my work and have been influenced by my rural Maryland surroundings. In the past two years I've leaned into seeing the beauty in my immediate perspective. As care and concern for my aging parents has dominated the rhythm of life as well it's been a deep personal struggle to manage my emotional well being. * Painting the botanical pieces over the past few months and breathing in the beauty of my abundant habitat have helped me release the stresses of Iife. * My hope is that resonates as well with you the viewer and collectors as I share these works. That once the color draws you in for a closer look you will be intrigued by the detail and find a respite there. Swipe for images from my view of the world. I wish you well. Thank you for your interest. #monochromaticbotanicalstudies #jewelsofnatureart #inspiredbynature #botanicalart #botanicalartist #originalartforsale #shopsmallmaryland #thestudiosource #braveinpaint #cottagecore #appalachianartist #AppalachianContemporary #marylandartist #marylandpainter #farmcoreaesthetic #farmcore #cottagestyle

"Carnelian" a small botanical study with iridescent tinted paint I placed it on a background of old wallpaper to give an idea of the piece in home decor . My practice has developed with creating these pieces. Which is where my focus has been. I hope to get better at sharing the process here. But most importantly I am painting or drawing nearly everyday! Even on the days when everything else is a bit wonky, I am practicing my craft. I've always needed what creating gives me. When I don't take time in that mental space of creating, I notice the lack. * Being true to myself and telling my real story here are not necessarily what gets my feed noticed. And I'm okay with that. I'm here for the artist connection and sharing my journey in an authentic way. If you are interested in my art to purchase I am open to that as well. * I do appreciate any support here and in the way that keeps me growing and moving forward and feeling encouraged to continue sharing. * #mixedmediaart #inspiredbynature #intuitivepainting #monochromaticart #alchemist #floralartist #thestudiosource #braveinpaint #doitfortheprocess #cottagecore #cottagestyle #monochromaticbotanicalstudies #botanicalart #boholuxe #bohemianstyle #americanartcollector #AppalachianContemporary #appalachianartist #farmcoreaesthetic #artforthehomeandsoul #curateyourlife #createdtocreate #whatwomencreate #bohemianhome #shopsmallmaryland #artforinteriors
