Roaming Artist’s Studios
Music gets airplay and bands appear live. Authors’ books make best-seller lists and get promoted through Bookbub and other media. Visual artists create their work in a studio. The artist hopes that people will see and appreciate it. This post serves to create an online presence to further that goal. Roaming the Arts wishes to be a patron, visit studios, and drive traffic to websites. We will not comment on the art. Indeed, “the eye of the beholder” applies here. Click either the name or the image and visit the site.

Tom Meyer
Tom Meyer
Tom Meyer has been referred to as an ‘outsider’ artist.
He is indeed a self-taught painter. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas or board, Meyer’s paintings originate from impulses within his soul. He has referred to this collection, his first to be exhibited, as ‘narrative visions’.His cast of characters that inhabit his paintings give an account of his inner life and his imagination. They tell a story with his themes, “of redemption, forgiveness, acceptance, rejection and love,” as he has described it.
Meyer has said, “I don’t paint things, I paint ideas.” His work is informed and inspired by a variety of ideas, from current events to ancient philosophy. Through an outsider or visionary artist, Meyer’s work is part of a creative tradition with roots that include early American folk art and that has continued to evolve in numerous and dynamic ways up to today. Meyer has created a personal universe with his paintings, as many outsider artists have done. This exhibition is a dazzling display of that universe.

Raj Bunnag
Raj Bunnag is a Thai American artist living and working in Durham, North Carolina. He received his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2012 with an emphasis in Printmaking, and an MFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2022. Bunnag’s practice examines systematic racism inherent to the foundations of the United States, its institutions and domestic/global policies, through themes in the lineage of print. In his more personal work, he is researching the ideas and baggage that come with self-identity as the son of immigrants and what it means to be a non-white body existing in white spaces. He has shown work nationally and internationally as well as received numerous awards for his relief printed work.
Bunnag uses references from pop culture, news headlines, government policy and legislation, and historical research to take a searing look at the failures of the War on Drugs. Various illegal substances and major participants of the War on Drugs are represented as fantastical monsters in a style reminiscent of master printers such as Jacques Collet, Francisco de Goya, and others.
Whether it is teaching printmaking and drawing to Duke students or teaching local high schoolers, Raj finds his inspiration in spreading the gospel of print and educating people on how the printed world is still powerful in a digitally dominated society.
