Feature artist Darren Haper is a regional artist, from Dayton, Ohio who has been getting recognition as an up-and-coming artist to watch. He has a BFA from Miami University and has had his work shown in galleries across the country along with receiving the MCACD Fellowship in 2007.
Kreft Gallery Coordinator Kathleen Kargula said, “I find his work to be friendly, whimsical and unpretentious. The paintings radiate a lighthearted authenticity.”
She also commented on the pieces in the show saying, “My favorite piece is ‘Moving gently the lips of sleepers’ and is the painting I used in the poster design to promote the show.”
The Kreft Gallery is happy to welcome visitors Tuesday thru Friday from 12—4 p.m. and Saturday or Sunday from 1—4 p.m. until December 15. Learn more about the Kreft Arts Program at www.cuaa.edu/kreftarts.
