Featured Artist

db Fagen is an East Tennessee artist working in acrylic and mixed media, creating contemporary works that offer a modern interpretation of classic Impressionism. Inspired by the fleeting imagery that emerges in the moments before sleep, his work explores the space between memory, emotion, and imagination.

Working primarily in miniature scale, Fagen embraces both the challenge and intimacy of small-format creation, while quietly questioning the notion that larger works inherently carry greater importance. Though informed by limited formal training, his artistic practice is largely self-taught and shaped through experimentation, instinct, and repetition.

Rooted in the grounding presence of East Tennessee, Fagen’s work invites viewers into spaces that feel at once familiar and elusive — places that are beautiful, unsettling, comforting, and deeply personal.
