Freedom. That is what art is, it’s the something inside of everyone given the chance will break the rules, stand out and boldly go when you would dare not.  Owens Daniels’ new collection of works, “Something Bold: The Art That Broke the Mold”, has the ability to provoke, uplift, and transform. It is Daniels’ intention to ignite a sense of curiosity and wonder in those who encounter it.

Owens Daniels, “Uncle Remus”

Ultimately, Daniels’ artistic journey is about pushing boundaries, embracing vulnerability, and celebrating the limitless possibilities of creative expression. In a world that often demands conformity, this new work stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of courage and the profound impact of daring to be different.

Owens Daniels, “Body and Soul”

Owens Daniels’ photographic career started at the U.S Army Photographic School of Cartography, learning the basics of photography and photo printing. In addition to his formal training, he continues to work as a freelance photographer with a distinctive and intimate photojournalistic signature style in visual storytelling which has led to various opportunities that include Artist in Residences, Fellowship of American Art, Public Art Installations, and Grants and varied other commissions.

Seth Moskowitz calls his show, ‘Sounds of Spring,’ but you won’t hear any music, birdsong or any of the other sounds you might associate with spring. Unless you have synesthesia, a condition that causes some people to see shapes or colors when they hear music, or taste foods when they read or see shapes or patterns.


Seth Moskowitz, “Who Let the Dogs Out”

None of that happens to the artist. However, this spring Moskowitz noticed that the splendor of the world reawakening from winter filled him with the same type of emotions and sensations experienced when he was captured by music. This work represents an effort to recreate some of what he felt while wandering around Winston experiencing the season in bloom.

Seth Moskowitz, “Ta-da!”

Seth Moskowitz is a Winston-Salem based artist who creates and combines photographic images into artworks that rarely resemble photography or the images that they incorporate. He made a living for more than four decades immersed in a constant chatter of written and verbal communications. Seth began to create visual art in 2004 as a way to enter a peaceful, magical place that is literally, beyond words. He has been a member of the Artworks Gallery since 2017, and a member of Associated Artists of Winston-Salem since 2005. Since his retirement in 2019, he has devoted himself full-time to appreciating the beauty of the natural world, exploring and creating art, and helping to encourage, nurture and promote the growth of local artists and their artwork.

This exhibit is free and open to the public.

“Out of the Blue” and “Partly Cloudy” by Marion Adams

Marion Adams looks to the sky for inspiration. Working with pastels as her medium, she captures ethereal effects of the ever-changing scene overhead. Adams’ intention is to capture the sky in its various moods, show the turbulence of clouds before a storm, haze drifting overhead on a moonlit night, and small points of starlight gradually appearing after sunset. The single acrylic painting, “Wonder”, stands alone among the pastels as a representation of her own quest seeking answers and, at times,
the right questions.

“Celestial Sky” and “Haze Lifting” by Marion Adams

Marion Adams is a retired Middle School Science and Math teacher. She has taught art history, painting and drawing on the college level. She holds a master’s degree from Georgia State University. She has been a member of Artworks since 2015.

“Signs of Spring” and “Runnin’ Out of Time” by Seth Moskowitz

When Covid 19 made us prisoners in our own homes, Seth Moskowitz frequently found himself filled with fear and frustration. But despite the dramatic changes in almost every aspect of daily lives, Moskowitz also experienced intense gratitude for a life that remained healthy, happy, hardy and whole.

During “The Covid Years,” Moskowitz produced a constant stream of images that were never quite completed. To celebrate the many splendors of the Spring of 2023, Moskowitz decided to finish and free these images from the messy confines of his head. He hopes the viewer will find connection with some of the places and spaces he passed through during these sometimes seemingly interminable “15 Days to Slow the Spread.”

“What a Tangled Web II” and “Echoes” by Seth Moskowitz

Seth Moskowitz is a Winston-Salem based artist who creates and combines photographic images into artworks that rarely resemble photography or the images that they incorporate. After a challenging career in the corporate world, he began to create visual art in 2004 as an escape from the verbal cacophony of the workaday environment – a way to enter a peaceful, magical place that is literally, beyond words. He has been a member of Artworks Gallery since 2017 and a member of Associated Artists of Winston-Salem since 2005.

This exhibition is free and open to the public.

Press: Artist Seth Moskowitz finds that “wow” pattern

Read an interview with July’s featured artist Seth Moskowitz by Fran Daniel in the Winston Salem Journal: Once Winston-Salem artist finds that “wow” pattern, the digital manipulations really begin

Artist Seth Moskowitz, who lives in Winston-Salem, takes a lot of pictures but doesn’t consider himself a photographer.

“The pictures that I do take, I wind up playing with and using in artworks that I produce and are made from multiple pictures that very rarely look like photography,” Moskowitz said.

Through July 31, Artworks Gallery on North Trade Street in the Downtown Winston-Salem Arts District will present Moskowitz’s “NEWds — New Interpretations of the Female Form” exhibit along with Karen Moran Kopf’s “Memories Downtown” exhibit.

In their shows, Moskowitz’s artwork focuses on nudes to create pieces that use many of the same compositional elements in different ways in different pieces. Kopf’s exhibit depicts people and locations the artist either observed or events in which she participated.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the beauty of organic forms and how the interplay of shapes, and the mosaic of hue, tone and texture, affect the emotions evoked by my interpretations of the human body and the natural world,” Moskowitz said.

Karen Moran Kopf | Memories Downtown

Karen Moran Kopf received a BA in painting from Wagner College, NYC and studied in Austria and Spain. While she lived in Spain, she exhibited in various European locations. After returning from Europe she continued to paint, but primarily taught school for twenty years. Now that the artist has been painting full-time for several years, she has joined Artworks Gallery and has begun an exhibition schedule with this show.

Most of Seth Moskowitz’s artwork focuses on nature and nudes, usually shown in combination. For this show, the artist focuses on nudes to create works incorporating many of the same compositional elements, used differently to different effect. This approach is similar to the printmakers’ practice of using recurring visual elements – perhaps a leaf, a fan, a bird, or a wheel – repeated in a series of images to elicit a kind of acknowledgment from the varying combinations. Moskowitz is fascinated by the beauty of organic forms and how the interplay of those shapes, along with hue, tone, and texture affect the emotions evoked by interpretations of the human body and the natural world. Most of the images in this exhibition employ a relatively small set of compositional elements in a variety of ways to create images that are, very closely related to one another but are very different in their ultimate appearance and impact.

Seth Moskowitz is a Winston-Salem based artist who creates and combines photographic images into artworks that rarely resemble the images they incorporate. Moskowitz made a living immersed in the constant chatter of written and verbal communications, working as a journalist for five years, followed by many years of corporate communications and issue management in a controversial industry. He began to create visual art as an escape from the verbal cacophony of the workaday world – a way to enter a peaceful, magical place that is literally, beyond words.
