Derrick Dickens is a talented, enthusiastic, young artist who works in the shop of sculptor, Jim Gallucci. Derrick graduated from Greensboro College in studio art. He is involved in fabrication, arts restoration, and installation. He loves his job and talks with great enthusiasm about all the projects in process at Jim's studio. When we visited the Industrial Drive studio during Art Stock, Jim was on a job out of town and Derrick was at the helm. From the looks of the equipment in the building, it is hard to believe that the final products are beautiful gates, sculptures, and works of public and private.
If you ever have a chance to tour the studio, you will see the engineering design process at work. They take sheets, tubes, and chunks of metal and turn them into beautiful works of art. They take the idea from concept to completion.
We have always enjoyed talking to Jim; however, it was a pleasant surprise to have a little time getting to know Derrick, who is from Greensboro and loving working in his chosen field. Happy Friday, everyone!
It looks like quite a big workspace!
