Dakin Fuller (born Kara Torres) is a nonbinary Burlington, Vermont-based artist who works in a wild assortment of media, including, but never limited to, sticks, taillights, scrap cloth, acrylic on canvas, ink, polymer clay, and watercolor. As an environmentally-thoughtful and resourceful person, Dakin scavenges materials from second-hand shops, friends & family members’ junk drawers, forests and greenbelts. They use these materials to craft clothing, collages, flags, jewelry, and anything else they feel impelled to make.
Dakin held a 6-month residency at New City Gallery from 2016-2017 and won first place in the Arts Alive Festival of Fine Arts in 2018. They have had solo shows at Cavendish Gallery and the Gallery at Main Street Landing, in addition to many wonderful and supportive local restaurants, bars, coffee shops and computer stores. They have received commissions from Rice High School, SEABA, and individuals. Dakin grew up barefoot in the woods of Duxbury, VT, and spent their childhood climbing white pines and beech trees.
Dakin’s art, though multifarious, leans heavily towards a 1930’s cartoon-graffiti, cosmos-constructing style; whatever medium or style Dakin is using, radical honestly and reflection on gender, society, and death emerge as central themes.

Featured Member Artist NOV-JAN 225-26 Dug Nap
Dug is a self taught artist who was born and raised in Vermont and is at home with many mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, and digital paintings. His paintings often include text.
While his work is a bit hard to categorize, it is usually offbeat, thoughtful, colorful, humorous, and occasionally dark reflections of everyday life. He is also showing some of his recent abstractions which he loves doing because they’re so different than the rest of his work.
Dug’s prints are sold in 28 stores around the US and his paintings are in many private collections. You can read more about his work HERE.
“The Art World Portraits and Other Works” will be on view in the southern hall of the Soda Plant throughout the ‘Outer Space Gallery’. The original works featured include a comical portrait series titled “The Art World Portraits”, some recent abstractions and various animal paintings.
