Community Spotlight Buffalo River Art Gallery GILBERT, ARKANSAS April '20 | 8

The whiskey community is a beautiful thing. It is full of eccentric, wonderful, passionate people. This passion manifests itself in multiple ways. Some amass huge collections of whiskey like one would collect baseball cards. Others, like Jamie Craddock, use their creativity and talent to share their passion in a unique medium. Welcome to Buffalo River Art Gallery nestled in Gilbert, Arkansas, where one talented artist is using her talent to create truly unique and beautiful tributes to our favorite alcoholic beverage. Jamie and I met up in a whiskey group online,

where she shared a beautiful picture of a Maker's Mark bottle she had created. It struck me immediately. From the vintage newspaper to the individual lines of color that captured the raw colors and essence of the bottle. We connected up and she was more than happy to share her whiskey experiences and art with us in our first ever community spotlight. Q: Why don't you tell us a Little about you and your gallery? A: I've been a professional artist for over 4 years. Art is a second, no, third career for me. It's always been important, but it took me a while to have time for it to be priority.
