Artist Of the Month: Chef’s Palette

Artist of the month: Chef’s Palette is a blog post I am so excited to write.  As I may have mentioned in the past, I get excited about community recognition of my work.  I appreciate the opportunity to show my work to a whole new set of potential clients. Thank you ladies at Chef’s Palette, it is very appreciated. Thank you also to my wonderful friend Patricia who recommended that they take a look at my work.

 I was so excited when I received a call from Johanna Campbell a few weeks ago.  She asked me if I would like to be the Artist Of the Month at Chef’s Palette in Cary NC.  Jojo is the amazing marketing representative for the establishment.  Jojo was so helpful getting the marketing aspects like web links established.  She devoted some late nights to me and sent some wonderful emails that made my day. I am proud to be getting ready to be the Artist of the month at Chef’s Palette in Cary NC.

Thank you Diane Mckinney, another friend and local photographer,  for grabbing a photo of me in action.  Additionally I need to thank T. Wayne Grimes for grabbing a shot of my display. As a local photographer in Raleigh and Cary area I am honored by the offer. I specialize in art of newborn photography and high school senior sessions.  As artist of the month I will be hanging 15 large portraits. What a wonderful opportunity for me to show the community my work.

Also I need to express a very special thank you to Patricia Anne.  She referred me as an artist that they may be interested in hosting.  Patricia is a wonderful artist and friend.  Like me Patricia is a horse girl…. that’s what we call people who have devoted a great percentage of their lives to the beast called “horse.”  I met her through a mutual friend in the horse world, the place where I have fortunately met most of the my friends.  Her artwork must be  inspired by her love of this animal and is absolutely amazing. It’s really amazing and I could just stare at each and every piece for hours. It’s easy for me to imagine a bedroom for a young girl completely decorated with her magical images.  If you love horses too you may be interested in purchasing one of her her masterpieces. She also was honored by sharing her work with the community at the Chef’s Palette.  Thank you so much Patricia Ann.

Her work speaks for itself but I just have to say that I am in love and I follow her page.

I was fortunate to meet the Chef Ryan and the wonderful owner of the Chef’s Palette in Cary NC when I went to hang my work on the wall.  Kathie Clark has really set up an amazing experience for her customers.  If you are looking for an award winning menu you should try the Chef’s Palette.  The walls are covered with beautiful paintings and photographs from local artists. As an artist myself I could not stop looking.  What a unique idea for a restaurant.  They also have live music and trivia night.  My brother Bill Baragona said the Chef’s Palette is one of his favorite restaurants.  As a connoisseur of fine dining that says a lot to me.  I am sure it is a result of the wonderful atmosphere in conjunction with the talent of their chef Ryan Summers. Chef Ryan Summers was a state champion in the Got To Be NC competition dining series this year.  He is also getting ready to be a daddy. congratulations Ryan.
