when they take a piece home, but he says it’s
well worth it.
“As much as the computer has become the
most significant tool I have, the time before
the computer rooted me in analog art and
gave me a desire to make it look as authentic
as possible,” he says. “The last thing I want is
for someone to look at my art and say, ‘Oh,
that’s just made on a computer.’”
Golden, who has been making art for more
than 40 years, fondly looks back on that idyllic
“time before the computer.” He remembers his
first show: a series of prints put on display at
his mother’s gallery when he just 11 years old.
“They sold well,” he says with a smile. “We
put them on Japanese paper, so they were
very rustic looking. The prints were made
from wood linoleum printing plates, and I was
so young my mom Wilmington watercolor
artist Mary Ellen Golden had to help me to
make sure I didn’t cut myself while putting
them together.”
His art career continued to evolve. He
studied graphic design in college, and his
combined knowledge of traditional art forms
and digital media has culminated in the
wonderful collection of hybrid art that is
“Coastal Decor.”
