The LabourLove Art Party hosted by Kelly Dew
Beach Theme

Kelly Dew will bring her southern accent and art skills to the easel for another fun filled art class. We’ll supply the materials and a little wine to loosen things up. You can bring some inspiration from the beach and a creative spirit. Make it a date night or a girls night out. Only 20 seats available for $25 including materials. You’ll take home you own masterpiece!

No experience needed for this class.

Call Kelly @ 919-593-5663 to make your reservation!

For those of you who’ve been asking for the classes on a more frequent basis, we’re adding a second class in June and two again in July. All classes begin at 7:00 and run until 9:30

Come to all of them or just one, but you better get your reservation in early cause usually have a pretty full class.

“Wild Horses” by Kelly Dew

We get asked, “Is this your work?” every day by visitors to LabourLove. We thought the one year show would be a perfect time to shine the light back on co-owner/curator Kelly Dew’s personal artwork.

Kelly’s fascination with horses started at a young age when she and her cousins tried to wrangle their strong headed family horse, Tinkerbell. She now views her work much like a thoroughbred waiting to break from the gate at the start of a race. Kelly plans the paintings in her head sometimes months in advance, and then she’s off and running once the paint meets the canvas. She prefers to work quickly with a clear deadline in her sight. Paintings are usually finished in one sitting allowing her to stay in the moment with each piece. Dew says, “Horses allow me the freedom to just let go and paint without thinking or dwelling on the details. These paintings are about capturing the excitement I had as a kid trying to ride Tinkerbell at my grandfather’s house.”

The show will benefit the North Carolina Therapeutic Riding Center with 25% of original artwork sales on opening weekend. The NCTRC improves the lives of children through equine-assisted therapeutic programs. Kelly will exhibit a series of horse paintings based on photos taken from the NCTRC pastures in Mebane, NC.
