Stokes County Arts Council Gallery in Danbury, NC, Features Works by Frank Duncan

A popular Stokes County artist, Frank Duncan, will have an exhibit of his rural images at the Stokes County Arts Council Gallery in Danbury, NC, through Feb. 28. Duncan's popularity stems from his use of themes depicting rural life in Stokes County and the surrounding region. Work by Duncan provides a glimpse back in time when most people's goals were to provide the basics for their families or when living in a house with no plumbing and wood heat didn't mean you were poor but that you were just average.

Duncan enjoys using his preferred medium, watercolor, which lends itself to detail due to its quick drying time. He uses oils when doing portraits because of their vibrancy and longevity. Reproduction prints are available of many of Duncan's popular originals. Duncan does most of his own framing which adds to the affordability of his work.

Raised in Orange County, Duncan moved to Stokes County in 1983 because he and his wife, Jeannie, thought it would be a great place to live. In 1997, Duncan took a "leap of faith" by quitting his full time job as a machine designer to follow his dream of being a full time artist. Duncan was the artist selected to create the artwork for the poster to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Stokes Stomp.

This exhibit is sure to delight young and old from all walks of life.
