Sacred Grounds: Friday 29 March 2019

A group of new paintings by Dr. Andy Dykeman will be exhibited at Sacred Grounds Coffee in Edwardsville from March 29 until Apriil 26, 2019 with an opening celebration from 7:00 to 9:00 on March 29th.  Refreshments will be served.

The show is curated and sponsored by The GoghGetters.  

Andy Dykeman pursues his professional and personal life with an enviable enthusiasm. His hands are his tools of trade in both crafts he enjoys — medicine and art.

Dykeman, who works as a chiropractor, believes in the power of healing. For some chiropractors, ART is an active release technique used to heal people, but for Dykeman the creation of art itself is what’s healing.

Since his childhood, Dykeman expressed his creativity through one art form or another. He has a flair for it. “I’ve always loved to paint and draw,” he said. “In seventh grade, I started playing the drums and that changed everything.”

The calling to be creative didn’t stop after he began working as a chiropractor, but it did slow down. 

“I’ve always drawn, painted and wrote stories,” he said. “I was a little busier. Then my dad died, and I felt the need to start painting again.”

“I developed a new style when I started painting again, and it makes me happy,” he said
