Growing

Shelly & Ben Cascio

As my studio practice continues to grow, I’m excited about new partnerships that we are forming to support that growth. One of the latest and most exciting is a new relationship with a longtime colleague, Shelly Cascio. Shelly, along with her husband Ben, have opened Kansas City’s brandonjacobs gallery in the Crossroads Arts District. They will have a selection of my work available all of the time and have already secured a nice large commission for the studio! Plus, I am looking forward to showing a new series of work with them in August!

If you are in Kansas City please stop by and meet Shelly and Ben and welcome them as the newest partners of the Dahlquist Studio family.

To Bring us Together

January 23, 2017 by Chris | 0 Comments

“The arts and humanities define who we are as a people. That is their power ― to remind us of what we each have to offer, and what we all have in common. To help us understand our history and imagine our future. To give us hope in the moments of struggle and to bring us together when nothing else will.” -– Michelle Obama

Warning for Art Collectors

My Only Regret

Mile Marker 573, 16″x22″

After traveling home to Oklahoma with a new piece of my artwork, a collector promptly ordered a second piece to go with it. She is happy, however, she does have the following warning for you…

“New piece arrived in perfect condition.  It’s been hung and it’s perfection.  My only regret is that I’ve hung them in the bedroom, now I have to keep it cleaned so I can show them off.   Love ’em! ”

Ha! What room do you want to keep clean?
