Kelly Brooke Pottery
Welcome to Kelly Brooke Pottery! I have been a professional potter for 23 years since graduating from Converse College where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art with a concentration in Ceramics in 1998. I continued my studies by attending intensive courses at Penland School of Crafts studying iron and ceramics. I am a two time recipient of a North Carolina Regional Artists Grant from the NC Arts Council.
All of my pottery is handmade; either wheel thrown and/or hand built from a North Carolina porcelain clay body. I use a centuries old embossed style of surface decoration known as sprigging where I apply hand carved dragonflies and flowers individually to my leather hardened pots making each one truly unique. All of my work is very durable, food safe, microwave, and dishwasher safe.
Visits to studio in High Point by appointment.
Original Paintings by Deb Frederick
I am a graduate of The University of The Arts Philadelphia (UVA) (aka PCA). Acquiring a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, my focus was Illustration. Directly after college I was immersed into the world of Denim and Fashion in NYC and later moved onto Greensboro NC to continue my Denim journey. Along my career path I worked for 3 Iconic Denim brands and 1 Fashion brand. Even though I was not using my paint brush, my innate ability to create played a great role in the positions I held for over 35 plus years.
My art business has been designated as a “Trusted Art Seller” with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.

Bernadette A Potts ~ Studio B Artistic Photography
My passion is for creating art by capturing the extraordinary in the ordinary appearance of abstractions, architecture, and nature through the lens of my camera…my digital memory box. Through a series of connections and “art-portunities”, my hobby, a form of relaxation, and a way for me to support my community as a volunteer photographer has metamorphosed into a passionately serious journey into fine art photography. Prints, greeting cards and framed art.

Sparkles On A Lake
Oil on linen, 18×24,
$3,200.
Greensboro, NC has many beautiful parks with lakes. I’ve always been captivated by light and how it changes my mood with the effects of the ever-changing atmosphere. I love the sublime feeling that I associate with sunlight on clear water. It’s a challenge to paint a believable rendition of this effect. I’m happy with how this turned out.
Heather Gerni
All of my work is created through the process of intuitive painting. Neither the subject matter nor composition is planned. Instead, the process allows a natural evolution of the painting with each layer informing the next. Prints and fine art original paintings.
Carolina Corona
Nature welcomes me with her strong embrace every time I dive deep into her world. I admire the Earth for its beauty and I fear her passion. Each of my paintings represents a vision of nature, a sight forever frozen in time by the touch of paint. Done with acrylic and watercolor paints, my body of work is diverse, inspired, and personal. I hope to share the natural world that I so love and aspire to be a part of.
