at night, the same painting turned into something else because we
blocked out all the windows and turned on blacklight,” says Jeremy.
Nancy and Jeremy stress that regardless of the theme and venue,
most of the pop-up gallery shows are open to the public, even when
they are in a private residence.
By day, Jeremy is a floral designer at Nita’s Flowers, a local Bryan
Florist shop where the two will be doing a “Flower Power” show on
March 19. Nancy works as a full-time artist, decorator, and business
partner for Guerrilla Art Takeover with Jeremy. They both sell their
personal artwork in Guerrilla shows along with the other artists and
take a small commission on exhibit sales to cover business expenses.
Nancy’s work is abstract and contemporary realism. Jeremy
incorporates serene scenes of planetary objects and trees. Despite
different creative processes, they make a good team. “I do feed off of
her. I get a lot of ideas from her, and she gets a lot of ideas from me as
well,” says Jeremy.
The two have been swamped in the past with venues and shows,
to the point where it became a bit too much for them. “We have done
very little of trying to find places to exhibit; they have come to us for
the most part,” says Nancy.
On top of the exhibitions, Guerrilla Art Takeover has an ongoing,
rotating gallery of the artists’ work at Messina Hof Winery.
The goal for Guerrilla Art Takeover in the future is to have fewer,
more meaningful art shows, maybe once every three months, to
avoid ݙ\
