For September and October, we are pleased to present Dan Abernathy’s new work, The Voices of Words that Never Died. Dan says “The theme of this body of work is a series of writers that are no longer with us, but their words will never be gone. These drawings are created using my version of stippling with pen & ink and the added splash of acrylic for color. They are on heavy paper mounted to wood panels and framed with patinaed metal.” Many of you have noticed his cards here in the gallery, which are maps with drawings on them. We are delighted that Dan can join us for the September 12, 2025, Artwalk from 5-8 PM.

In Dan’s words:

Dan Abernathy is known for his unique artistic style, which combines stippling, acrylics, and other mediums to create contemporary works. Abernathy’s focus is on self-discovery, individuality, and challenging conventional norms. His art explores themes of individualism, freedom, and the natural world, reflecting his own nomadic and unconventional lifestyle. Abernathy’s art traces a life lived on the edges, driven by curiosity, fueled by experience, and guided by a deep resistance to convention. Each piece offers a glimpse into how he interprets the world: untamed, imaginative, and always seeking the unfamiliar.

The Voices of Words That Never Died is an ongoing collection of contemporary multimedia portraits drawn with my loose rendition of stippling, using Ink, acrylic paint and or watercolor. It is highlighting the writers that are no longer with us, but who’s words have never died.
