hidell brooks loves a good app.  we are celebrating our one year anniversary of being on house account.  house account was started by our friends laura vinroot poole and travis parsons.

the scout guide charlotte volume 3 is out this week.  we were thrilled to be in the guide for the third consecutive year.  editor hobby sherman did a fabulous job once again scouting charlotte to highlight the best of local in our wonderful city.

solo exhibitions opening this week on different coasts for two of our artists.  on the west coast baroque sensibilities: sherrie wolf is opening at the long beach museum of art.  on the east coast john westmark-narratives is opening at the gibbes museum in charleston, south carolina.

we were delighted to unload a truck full of new paintings by amanda talley arriving from new orleans over the weekend.  amanda has been very busy in her studio painting amazing works.

hidell brooks had a wonderful installation this week!  we installed two paintings by jenny nelson stacked on top of each other in a client's living room.  they looked beautiful.  

tony hernandez hand delivered new drawings to hidell brooks recently.  we both adore tony and his work.  we can still remember the first time we saw his paintings so many years ago and how they stopped us in our tracks. 

the most recent issue of the qcexclusive magazine shines a spotlight on abstract painter windy o'connor as a charlotte artist producing some of the best works in the south.  hidell brooks could not agree more. 

hidell brooks is very relieved charlotte missed out on the freezing rain event going on at the moment.  lucky for us the tempertures hovered above freezing!  we are so excited to open solo exhibitions for ruth ava lyons and johan hagaman tonight.

in tandem with ruth ava lyon's paintings hidell brooks will be exhibiting sculptures by nashville based artist johan hagaman. the mixed media sculptures made from found objects, concrete, japanese paper, copper, encaustic, tin and milk paint are intriguing, intense and emotional. 

hidell brooks is getting ready for our solo exhibitions for ruth ava lyons and johan hagaman opening on friday march 7th from 6-8pm. both of the artist's work is very strong and organic complimenting each other perfectly.
