Art Listings: March 2025 Featured Artist: Exhibits: 2nd Saturday Opening Reception: Location: Contact: “Knife Painting in oil, for me, is an exploration of possibilities. An idea or image takes form as I freely utilize knives and brushes with thickly applied color that is vibrant, alive, and assertive. The creative process begins to assume a life of its own, and herein lies the discovery of what can surprisingly unfold. As I work, I find myself immersed in the dynamic interplay between color and texture, allowing each stroke to guide the next. This spontaneous approach often leads to unexpected and delightful results. Hopefully, the final expression will both attract and engage others as they observe my efforts to share a bit of the beauty that surrounds us.”

Spanky grew up in Georgia and learned to draw and paint at an early age. He later traveled the south and exhibited his artwork of the southern landscape. He graduated from the University of West Georgia with a BA in Art, where he was awarded two Permanent Collection awards from Peter Augustini, a world renowned sculptor from New York, and internationally known painter Donald Cooper. Upon graduation, Spanky began his career as a graphic designer and colorist with a major carpet and textile manufacturer.
