This month, October 2009, photographer Samuel Verbi has once again hit the Redding Art Hop and has contributed to our ArtHop photography page. Thank you Samuel once again!
Samuel will be heading up the Art Hop blog from this point forward and when needed, Amy Jensen of Amy Jensen Photography will be filling in. You’ve all seen Amy’s coverage (two months ago)which is awesome as well. To go directly to the Art Hop blog page, next month and from then on, just type in www.arthop.wordpress.com. There, you’ll be able to access every single arthop past and present.
Anyway, here’s the October 2009 Arthop by Samuel Verbi:
Tapas featured artist John Stewart
Almost as though several artists contributed to this gallery. John’s fabulous work, was both high quality as well as being very original, giving a clear window to what is obviously a highly creative and fun mind!
The Oregon Street Antique Mall featured artist Amanda Joy Smith
With meaning behind each individual object – this gallery really portrayed a story. By combining items from every day life she had created fascinating assemblages, a real sentimental style of art.
NVCSS Second Home featured Michael Madden, Amanda Strain, and Cindy Wilborn
Three fantastic, and highly individual artists all in a newly opened room at the NVCSS. With Amanda and Cindy from Redding, and Michael originally from Seattle, the vibrant and original work reflected the characters who created them. I struggled to leave such a genuine fun atmosphere.
Boardmart featured artists Dylan McGinn and Rustin Barth
Two very different and yet complementing exhibits. Dylans Graphic art – a clever use of adobe illustrator to capture Youtube stars, and Rustins guitar playing – with a well deserved overflowing tip jar – both creating an enjoyable gallery.
Downtown Eatery featured artist Tammy Love
Tammy has created a real experience here. With the Edward Scissor Hand soundtrack playing in the background, her beautifully manipulated images are both highly stereotypical as well as wonderfully original.
Artist Nowain Photography was featured at Crown Camera
Wedding photography here has become a real art form. Really creative ideas injected into what is usually a generic situation.
Parmer’s Furniture and Design featured artist Aaron Patterson
Aaron’s images are visually stunning, exploring a realm of photographic image editing yet to be really explored. HDR.
Hanna Gallery featured beautiful vocals by Stephanie Foos and music by Bernie
