The inspiration for Don Green’s “New Work” comes from and is influenced by nature, trees, streams, roots, rocks, hills, and the processes of life: creation, new growth, death, decay, erosion, the changing seasons.    Don has been an artist for 70 years and through these years he has created in different mediums: sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, and in different styles: Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Social Realism. He has always hoped his work would engage the viewer and touch them in a way that might give them “some new inkling of truth about this life we are all caught up in.”

Don Green is a sculptor, artist and craftsman. A fixture for more than 20 years in the Triad art community, Don's work graces public and private collections across the nation. He lives and works in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Don received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin in 1966, his BFA from Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Illinois in 1964, and an Advertising Art Degree from the American Academy of Art, Chicago, Illinois in 1956.

Betti Pettinati-Longinotti presents a series of works entitled, “Farmers Market”.  This series is dedicated to the many outdoor markets throughout the world that provide local and indigenous fruits, flowers, vegetables, baked goods and cultural items.  At the Farmers Market a banquet of color and celebration of life can be found, with positive memories built.
