Join me tonight for the opening reception of "Trees: Roots, Leaves, & Limbs", a photographic love letter to trees. Part of the @caryartloop hosted at @carygalleryofartists 6-8pm

Trees: Roots, Leaves, and Limbs a solo photographic exhibition by Chip Freund Exhibition runs Aug 28 - Sept 23 @carygalleryofartists Please join us for the opening reception Friday August 29th 6:00pm - 8:00pm North Carolina is home to over 400 native tree species, as well as many invasive varieties. Most days we don’t give the trees in our life much notice. We reap many benefits of the trees around us. They provide shade, stabilize soil, act as marvelous sponges absorbing heavy rainfall, and then slowly releasing it back into the soil, not to mention they sequester CO2, and help generate the oxygen we need to live! This exhibition highlights their aesthetic beauty, expressed in shape, texture and tone. The collection has come together naturally over years. I have a love for our tall friends, and my lens is often drawn to them on whole or part. I hope you come away from this exhibition with a new appreciation for our woody neighbors. As you step outside your home, stop and look around. How many trees are your neighbors? Take a moment to get to know them, their shapes, textures, and colors and remember to say thank you for all of the things they do for us.

We are excited to be back at @caryartdaze Lazy Daze once again this year. You can find our booth in our usual location in the shade on Wilkinson Ave between Cary PD and the parking garage, booth B228.

I am grateful for having added a new collector of my work. This limited edition 36"x36" canvas print of Magnolia Blossom now hangs in a new home. We also found that we share several common interests (F1 and Star Wars). May the Force be with you.

I started work on a large canvas (24" x 36") print for a client I met this past weekend at the @cain_park Arts Festival. Producing a limited-edition canvas print is a 3 day process. Day 1 - print and let dry overnight, Day 2 - varnish and let dry overnight, Day 3 - stretch and package for client. The exceptional quality and reliability of my Canon Pro-4100 printer combined with quality and archival longevity of Breathing Color Lyve canvas plus Timeless varnish enables me to print with confidence with little fuss.

Stared the day with a lovely surprise

It is a milestone day. I have just printed the last copy of the limited edition of "Lake Mattamuskeet Trees" in the 18"x40" matted print format, 20 of 20! Who will take it home? It goes on display at @carygalleryofartists later today. Come out this evening for our opening reception for this month's featured artists and @caryartloop Final Friday 6-8pm.

Artsplosure 2025 is now open!

Come celebrate the beginning of the spring art festival season at Cary Spring Daze tomorrow only! Stop by and say Hi at booth D403.

Greetings friends. Today's rain inspired me to dive back into my catalog of images that didn't quite make the cut when I first reviewed them. This one from a flooded forest at Jordan Lake, NC has started to come alive for me as I have covered it to black and white and pushed the contrast to the point of almost pure black and white and splitting it into a triptych. The next step would be to create a set of canvas prints. I welcome your thoughts. #fineartphotography #floodedforest #jordanlake

So excited to add this stunning piece created by @maryritter45 to our collection. It will have a prominent place in our living room after a bit of shifting around of our other artwork. If you want to see more of Mary's work stop by @carygalleryofartists
