Herb Dickinson, Artist
Painting for over 20 years, art was a part of Herb's life growing up, from illustrations for science projects to five years of art classes. After finishing high school and taking business courses, Herb worked as a musician. When a family came along he worked in various jobs until he found an outlet for his creativity.
Self taught, Herb found work as a graphic artist and illustrator.
Eventually he went to work for a national food store chain as heading up layout design for general merchandise ads in one of their districts. He started getting free lance work offers and eventually started his own graphic design and illustration
business working on packaging projects for Krispy Kreme to Saks Fifth Avenue as well as architectural renderings for prestigious home builders in the Charlotte, NC area.
After 10 years of Herb Dickinson Commercial Art, Herb was drawn to picture framing.
Eventually that evolved into framing original art and prints of his own work. Herb enjoys all styles of art, however, modern, abstract and impressionism in acrylic
provide an outlet for mixing texture, colors and nature together. Paintings start with a sketch and color palate but in the process of creating, take a life of their own and give a delightful surprise at the finished results.
Herb's paintings are in private collections internationally and local galleries. Some paintings are commissioned to a print publisher.
artists' statement
Thank you to all who collect my work and give me the opportunity to continue to paint and the worldwide recognition of my craft. I need to create and when I work on a painting and it is purchased, it's like giving a part of me to someone else. A connection with the rest of the world. A shared sense of beauty dedicated to the beauty and texture in nature which connects us all.
