Holiday Artist Reception Featuring Joye Ardyn Durham
Asheville,
NC Monday, October 3, 2016: Carolina
Mountain Sales, A Wilkinson ERA company, announce their Autumn Artist
Exhibition, featuring the ethereal landscapes of photographer Joye Ardyn Durham,
culminating in an artist reception and Biltmore Village holiday tree lighting
event on Friday, December 9th from 4.30 until 7pm.
Carolina Mountain Sales announces their
new autumn exhibiting artist, Joye Ardyn Durham.
Joye Ardyn Durham is an award winning
photographer who has been involved in photography for over 45 years and is
owner of the Gingko Tree Gallery in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Her images
are used worldwide in an abundance of uses including magazines, billboards,
post cards, brochures and more. She photographs nature, wildlife, landscapes,
and art as well as portraits, dogs, and family events. She has been published
in WNC Magazine, Our State Magazine, Wall Street Journal, Views Magazine, The
Laurel of Asheville, Black Mountain News and other publications in North
Carolina and around the states.
“Photography is my passion. It is that
thing. You know, that thing you do that takes you away from every other thing.
When I am out shooting, whether it be a sunrise, a newborn baby, or a family
gathering, I lose all sense of past and future. I am there in the moment.
Completely present. All for the art of it! When you are a photographer, you are
also a weather person. You watch the weather conditions as if they were an old
friend coming to visit. You have to prepare and get ready. You make sure your
equipment is ready. You get up at 3:30-4:00 in the morning. You travel,
sometimes 3-4 hours to that special destination. All the while, getting excited
about what you will see. And then it happens, the sun comes up,
shining the light on the earth and waking up the day. There it is, the Light.
The Light that carries with it new opportunities to create. Without the Light
there would be no creation. And creating art is what fills my soul.” Said Joye
Ardyn Durham.
“We are proud to offer some of
Asheville’s most talented artists the opportunity to exhibit their work in an
environment that encourages engagement with a wide and varied audience of our
clients, team and visitors alike. It is
our intention that these exhibitions will inspire, while connecting with the
local community.” Said Allyson Etheridge, Managing Director, Carolina Mountain
Sales Real Estate.
Located at 10 Brook Street, Suite 235, Carolina
Mountain Sales offers a central location in the vibrant and centrally located
Biltmore Village. “Our location in
Biltmore Village is an ideal venue to allow our buyers and sellers exposure and
access to regularly rotating exhibitions that feature distinctive, local,
Asheville-areas artists.” said Allyson Etheridge.
Joye Ardyn Durham’s
work will be on exhibition at Carolina Mountain Sales through December 2016, at
10 Brook Street, Suite 235, Asheville NC 28803. An artist reception for Joye Ardyn Durham
coinciding with the Biltmore Village holiday tree lighting, will take place on
Friday, December 9th from 4.30 pm until 7.00pm.
