Cleaster Cotton is an awesome  talent.  I featured Cleaster  last year in my June  post during the time of her big art exhibit at the Pink Dog in Asheville, North Carolina. Well,  she was a tremendous hit!!  What a visionary!  I am saying this for real!!  I must also say I am a collector of her art. It’s one thing to say you like someone’s art, music, books, etc. I say put it in action, put your money where your mouth is!  I have been a collector of her art for a few years now as she is the next big thing in the world of art everyone. And she can cook too!! Multi-talented!

I  compare Cleaster to Romare Bearden. They have some sort of spiritual link. It’s quite uncanny but real.  Although similar, they each have their own vibe going on.  I happen to love Romare Bearden’s work and have had the pleasure of meeting his family, which was so cool for me! Real Black Art History Royalty!  Cleaster has this powerful ancestor vibe going on. They speak through her, you can feel it in her work.  Well, Cleaster is at it again this week Friday, February 10th.  She is the featured artist in an exhibit at the historic Monte Vista Hotel in Black Mountain, North Carolina.  It’s a part of a  UNC-TV television special they are shooting called ‘North Carolina Weekend.’  There is a cocktail party happening from 6-8pm. Her art will be featured all that night and on exhibit until March 20th.   And of course she will be there gracing everyone with her presence and that wonderful bright smile and positive energy she emits on a regular. So please stop by and check it out!

If you can’t make it to the show, you can check out her site. Cleaster has something for everyone as she wants everyone to be able to collect her art no matter what your budget.  She has acrylics, art cards, prints, photography and collectibles!  Go to http://www.cleaster-cotton.artistwebsites.com BECOME A COLLECTOR!!
