Herb Dickinson

Painting for over 20 years, art was a part of Herb's life growing up, from illustrations for science projects to five years of art classes.  Herb worked as a graphic artist and illustrator.  He has worked for a national food store chain eventually heading up layout design for general merchandise ads in one of their districts.  He started getting freelance work offers and started his own graphic design and illustration business, working on packaging products for Krispy Kreme to Saks Fifth Avenue as well as architectural renderings for prestigious home builders in the Charlotte area. 

After 10 years of Herb Dickinson commercial Art, Herb was drawn to picture framing.  Eventually that evolved into framing original art and prints of his art.  Herb enjoys all styles of art, however, modern, abstract and impressionism in acrylic provide an outlet for mixing texture, colors and nature together.

Herb's paintings start with a sketch and color palette, but in the process of creating, take on a life of their own and give a delightful surprise at the finished results.  His paintings are in private collections internationally as well as in local galleries.  Some paintings are commissioned to a print publisher, and one of his paintings was recently featured on HGTV's Design to Sell.  He has also been commissioned by the Charlotte Bobcats.
