ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE

Picture
 Dick Larsen
After studying at the Art Center College Of Design and gaining forty plus years of art experience, Dick Larsen has been able to capture the personality of every pet he paints. Dick has been with The Cotton Company for several years and has become a "go-to artist" for Wake Forest Residents and their pets. He is able to do commissions and works from photos of your beloved pets. His detailed paintings are beautiful reflections of his artistic expertise and the pet's persona. They make excellent gifts and are adored by everyone!

Carolina Clover provides embroidery and monogramming for customers that include community organizations such as clubs, fraternities, and sororities; local small and large businesses, such as Chick-Fil-A, Home Depot, and Code Ninjas; school cheer and sports teams; and individuals for items such as jackets, saddle pads, etc.
The boutique also offers an inventory of blank items to be embroidered, like women’s clothing, Charles River rain jackets, hats, shirts, etc.
The company was founded in 2013, and began as a booth at The Cotton Company, eventually growing into a stand-alone boutique to meet the local demand for embroidery. They wanted to establish something that would allow them to become more involved in the community while teaching their children the ideals of entrepreneurship.

Thomas & Bethy Gruber
​
Thomas Studied Art and Architecture at NC State and Texas A& M University.  During the past 30 years he has pursued a serious interest in watercolor painting and photography.  His work has been exhibited and sold in galleries in New York City, Cleveland, Atlanta and North Carolina.  He considers each of his paintings and photographs to be an adventure with the objective to capture the unique spirit of a particular place or scene.

Bethy fell in love with Venetian Glass Beads on her first trip to Venice many years ago.  These beads have amazing illustrious color, elaborate designs and exceptional polish.  She travels to Venice once or twice a year to buy beads directly from Venetian glass masters in Murano,  She then takes these beads and designs one of a kind necklaces.  In recent years they have been sold in retail stores and museum gift shops.
​

Thomas and Bethy are excited to have a Studio at the Cotton Company in downtown Wake Forest.  In addition to the Art and Jewelry on display just about everything on their websites is available for purchase @ the Cotton Company.  Commissions are also accepted.
