From Cape Fear Studios I headed
down the street to Olde Town Gallery
owned by Sandra McFarlane. Olde
Town Gallery is a smaller space than
Cape Fear Studios and the artist's
drawing table was along the back
wall. You could see just what she was
working on and I could see her art is
very detailed. McFarlane, originally
from Scotland, was very welcoming.
She must have been one of the more
popular artists because shortly aer I
arrived, her gallery was full. It was easy
to see how much the artists and gallery
owners look forward to this coming
together of the community.
I le McFarlane and her friends
and made my way to Diane's Vintage
Market. Among the antiques was
the art of Sandra Dee. Dee, a self-
proclaimed Army brat has also lived in
Europe and Los Angeles, and she now
calls Fayetteville home. Dee is most
known for her murals. Her works are
large and colorful and abstract. I asked
her who most influenced her work and
she spoke very fondly of the artist Tom
Moore. Dee enjoys the community
aspect of the Walkabouts, but credits
their seasonal reoccurrence as another
form of motivation. She likes the
pressure of a timeline. "It's good
because I know I have a few months to
come up with new work," she said.
Aer leaving Diane's Vintage
Market, I headed to Gallery 116th on
Anderson Street. Gallery 116th has
more of a DIY-style and vibe to it.
Hanging on the walls were clusters of
black and white photographs by several
local artists. A TV playing a video by
James rossel sat on top of a skate
ramp. rossel, a Fayetteville native, is
a student now at the School of Visual
Arts in New York City. He spoke highly
of the Art Walkabout, attributing its
success and expansion to the people
involved.
