Artemis Gallery Presents “Dogs Gone Wild Unleashed” by Artist Rusty Hammer

For our June 2018 First Friday, We hosted Florida folk artist Rusty Hammer who has created  a whole new litter of his wonderfully whimsical, wooden dogs! 

These eccentric dogs are made out of pine and found object wood left over from other projects. Most people consider them to be Outsider Art or Folk Art since rusty doesn’t go by a formal MFA program. All Rusty’s work reflects his hysterical sense of humor, combining dog and human features and characterizations!

Rusty was present at our exhibition and chatted with all the dog/art lovers who visited our enlightened establishment. We were lucky enough to have live music by Norman Norteldor his daughter and his wife. The entire event was an outrageous blast!
