Featured Artist

Buddy Whitlock

Raised in a very small town in Arkansas.. I grew up having to be
creative not because I was artistic, but out of boredom. I would use
what I could find to create whatever my young mind could imagine.
I would rob my father's shed and find all kinds of things that could
be used to create something else. I had to be resourceful. He was
a welder so he had all kinds of junk lying around that I found for my
projects. I always hated being raised in the country, but I
appreciate it now.

I graduated from UAMS many many years ago with a BSN in
Nursing. I work with adolescents in the field of Psychiatry.
Although I love nursing, I try to keep my schedule so I can play as
an artist most of the time.

KeKe and Nadia (my two wonderful daughters) love to be creative
as well. It takes a lot a patience, but I have to remember that the
messes they create are only a venture in creativity. The very best
art in my home I owe to them.

I began painting children's murals around the time my children
were born. Creating a fairy-tale nursery with fairies and castles
and even a toad for my daughter had to be one of the most fun. I
painted murals for several years before moving on to primarily art.

I have been doing art for the last several years. My work has been
featured in several magazines and galleries around Arkansas. I've
been lucky to have my art placed many places around the world. A
special thanks to BRUNO for making that happen.
