Our Artistic Journey
From 25 years of commercial art direction to award-winning fine art, we blend technical mastery with personal expression.
Tennessee Artist With Two Decades in Gallery Scene
Our founder's journey at Caras-Art Gallery spans 25 years of dedicated artistry, blending commercial art as art director with fine art mastery. Based in Maryville, Tennessee, he established Caras-Art Gallery in 2024 after relocating from California's San Gabriel Valley.
Quarter-Century Journey Through Creative Evolution
His artwork exhibition history began during his commercial art career, where he honed technical skills that would later define his fine art approach. The California years at Studio 2009 in San Gabriel Valley provided invaluable exposure to diverse artistic communities and collectors. These early exhibitions laid the groundwork for his sophisticated aesthetic and professional presentation standards.
Mastery, Recognition, and Growth
Most recently, he has been working and is an associate member of NWS, the National Watercolor Society. He furthered his skills in computer graphics and portraiture after retiring. In addition, he has been invited to show his work in many competitions, international as well as regional.
