What’s New in Downtown Hickory?

We have TWO new opportunities for selfies in Downtown HKY on the HSM Solutions wall on 1st Ave. Hickory Downtown Development Assoc (HDDA) has commissioned 2 mural painters for us to take selfies while we enjoy what the area has to offer. The newest painting was created by Chris Parsons who's influences include Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo, and Bob Ross. He relies on a blend of styles and techniques to create his unique images. Chris draws his inspiration from nature, mythology, religion, science fiction, and popular culture.

On the other side of the HSM Solutions wall, Robert Dennis, of Trade Alley Art gave us a chance to get out of the rain. Robert has done bio-medical and botanical illustrations, created life-like carvings of birds and waterfowl, as well as portraits and murals. His current focus is on Trompe L'Oeil painting and other works customized to provide focal points and to enhance specific locations and decors. Trade Alley is a member owned gallery of artists and artisans who create art for the community. 

We'll see you Downtown Hickory!
