Very Berry Bouquet (detail). Danette Sperry, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

By Gina Malone<\/p>\n

Danette Sperry\u2019s art practice is sort of like the adage about building it and then having them\u2014in this case, the inspirations\u2014come. Because she has always felt a spiritual connection to nature and because her husband, John Sperry, is a folk artist also, she created a lush, brightly colored garden around their home studio in Maysville, Georgia. They joke that it\u2019s a short commute to work and the only traffic is darting birds. \u201cThe beautiful garden I have created around our home and the birds and other creatures that visit the garden are often the focal points of my paintings,\u201d Sperry says. \u201cAs a bird watcher and lover, I have a backyard of birdfeeders, birdhouses and flower gardens that inspire my pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her surroundings bolster her creativity in other ways as well. Their home is a 1915 farmhouse imbued with character by their collection of primitive antiques, mid-century, modern and industrial d\u00e9cor, music, abstracts, pottery and, of course, folk art. For her, old things, with their generations of use, have stories to tell.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been creating some form of art from the time of childhood,\u201d Sperry says. \u201cYou weren\u2019t to complain of being bored. You found ways to occupy your time! So I bonded with the animals and nature surrounding me and found my joy for creativity in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

She is self-taught, spending the last 25 years making primitive furniture, such as farm tables, from reclaimed wood; creating folk art sculptures with reclaimed wood and vintage found objects; and painting. In 2015, she began to incorporate textures and relief work into her folk art paintings and onto the frames as well. \u201cThis developed with my playing around with ideas,\u201d she says, \u201ctrying not to be limited in subject by the old, found objects of my wood sculptures and wanting more freedom to create whatever I wanted and was inspired to create at that time, as well as wanting to add textures to my paintings.\u201d<\/p>\n

She describes her works as three-dimensional, raised-relief, mixed media folk art paintings. To achieve the effect, she uses a combination of several applied media such as gels and pastes. Tools that aid the special sculpting technique she developed include palette knives, paintbrushes and fine pottery tools. \u201cEach piece is framed and incorporates incredible attention to detail, bringing out the personality of my subjects with lots of raised images and textures,\u201d Sperry says. She likens her backgrounds to old plaster walls, with the aged character they often exhibit. The finished works look much better in person, she adds, where the textures can be appreciated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe moment I saw Danette\u2019s work, I wanted to hang it on our walls,\u201d says Julia L. Mills, gallery director at American Folk Art & Framing. \u201cIt\u2019s really not often that you come across an artist that has pioneered their own technique and style in such an elevated way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sperry likes these words from Andy Warhol: \u201cDon\u2019t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it\u2019s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.\u201d She doesn\u2019t participate in many festivals or shows, she says, because of the time she invests in her work. Some paintings take weeks; others, months. \u201cMy pieces are very time-consuming,\u201d Sperry says. \u201cEach one has its own special character, texture and images, and talks to me in some way.\u201d She works every day in her studio, her head filled with ideas for future paintings, even as she completes the one she is working on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think becoming an artist was a decision for me,\u201d Sperry says. \u201cI think art chose me, and since it has made me and many others happy, I have followed my path of art.\u201d<\/p>\n
