Dwight Mitchell

My name is Dwight Mitchell. I’m a visual artist that enjoys the creation of beautiful art. I work with the media of pencil, charcoal, pastel, water color and oil. I find that each of the medium has its own characteristics. I paint landscapes, still life, and portraits.

I have loved art all of my life. I enjoy the development of the work as it comes to life before your eyes. Painting is pleasing and relaxing. It gives you control of your art. You are able to take any subject and turn it into something interesting by your interpretation of it through your view and creation of it. I find art as a way of expression. I enjoy going to my studio and getting a blank canvas and painting a subject. The process of it starting from a blank picture plane to becoming a fine work of art excites me.

My passion of art led me to obtain a Bachelor Degree in Studio Art at Barton College. I’m an artist of Studio One, member of FOVA of Barton College, Wilson Active Artist. I instruct classes at Wilson Community College and Studio One. I show my work at events, juried shows and take commissions.

Come visit my studio and possibly you may find something you like. If not I can create it. After all that’s part of what art is about, CREATION!!!
