Juried Artist Directory

Welcome to the new Juried Artist Directory!

Our Directory is dedicated to creating a free, online listing of 2D and 3D visual artists who have been recognized by independent jurors and panels connected to the Arkansas Arts Council's programs. Directory artists have been recognized by programs, such as Small Works on Paper, Individual Artist Fellowships, Governor's Arts Awards or Arkansas Living Treasure programs.

Artists chosen for the Directory have the opportunity to showcase their artworks on a free platform to help promote and market themselves and their artistic careers. Works can be updated by contacting the artist services manager.

Artists who have not been chosen by independent judges or panels will be removed from the listing. This is an ongoing process, and accounts without updates in the past two years will be removed first. Thank you for your patience as we revamp the listings.

I was a loner when I was a kid, an only child, one of those people who become serial killers, bank robbers or artists. I wasn't interested in serial killing. I tried robbery, stole a watch when I was 10 but got caught and took up art. They haven't caught me at that yet.

I use the materials and styles of the Old Masters to express images and ideas of the present, or timeless archetypes and myths set in our present day environments. But I have no formula or rules except to express the truth as I see it. Each of my paintings, prints, sculptures or whatever is a discovery, each with its own formula and rules. I never know what's coming next, I only hope it's something. I approach each image with fear and trembling, pretending it's my first and hoping it's not my last.
