Fresh Art Friday: Dori's Main Street Highlights

Y'all! Main Street is SO good this year. With more than 200 really amazing artists showing there is plenty of great work to see, but a few artists are clear standouts for me. Check them out below: 


Booth 422

Steve works with the natural wood grain shaping each piece into a sumptuous sculptural piece. I literally want to pick up and feel each and every one of them.


Booth 425

***Sigh*** I could just stare at Cali's work all day. Her award-winning photographs are sublimely simple and printed in stunning color. Crossing my fingers that I can own one of her pieces one day. 


Booth 706

Luke uses traditional forging methods to create incredible contemporary furniture pieces. These stunners are clean, sturdy and sure to be that statement piece you were looking for. 


Booth 420

Every time I see Jennifer's booth I stopped in my tracks. These incredible pieces are not actual bugs but you would NEVER know it. Jennifer's creations are so bright, colorful and fun they are sure to make you smile. And can you get over that talent?!



Fritz Olsen 
Booth 552

Fritz' sculpture pieces somehow manage to be both striking and warm at the same time. He works mostly in stone and his mastery of the craft is evident by the fluid lines of his pieces. 


Booth 729

Michael's large scale paintings are absolutely lovely. He photographs each flower in full sunlight and then paints them in an almost photo-realistic manner.  They are definitely a statement piece that would be wonderful in a dining or living space. 


Booth 525

One of my favorite Main Street categories is always jewelry. Hilary's work drew me in because of it's clean lines and imaginative shapes. If you're looking for a well-made, unique piece look no further. 


Rey D'Alfonso
Booth 720

Rey's work is so vibrant and engaging that it's shocking to learn that his pieces reference the 19th century Cuban poet Jose Marti, whose forced exile continues to give a voice to immigrants around the world. If you're looking for a piece that is gorgeous and also has a compelling 'story' be sure to stop by Rey's booth to learn more. 

Main Street Arts Festival run's through Sunday, April 17th and is definitely worth the trip! 
Happy Main Street-ing!
