CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers team photographer Chaenelle Smith-Walker started out as a graphic designer but showed off many talents in her time with the team.
Smith, a former athlete at Elon, has gone through a lot to get to her current role.
“So I’m actually a graphic designer,” Smith said. “A lot of people think I’ve always done for photography. I’m actually a designer originally.”
Smith is the owner of multiple historic firsts. She was first black creative director in the SEC and the first black designer in the college football playoffs.
With the Panthers, she is now trailblazing another historic path.

‘Common Threads’ at Casselberry Sculpture House unites three artists whose lives and work are intertwined
Common Threads is a wonderfully heavy experience. The conceptual themes of the art exhibit on view at the Casselberry Sculpture House move swiftly through your senses — curiosity and ennui. Peace and inner reflection. Yearning mixed with forgiveness. The five stages of grief give way to enchantment. It’s a visual and aural experience that leaves the viewer in a state of pensive joy, hypnotized for days and weeks on end, resonating and relating to one’s own personal experiences. Moving stuff; beautiful as well.
Acc gallery presents “Contemporary Art as Reproduction”
(TENAFLY, NJ) — Acc gallery presents “Contemporary Art as Reproduction” from November 4-30, 2023. In modern society, these days, anything is born digitally. Art cannot avoid it.

Call for Entries for the Native & Indigenous Art Exhibit We Are Still Here
Nov. 10, 2023
The University of Arkansas Multicultural Center and the Native American Student Association announce an open call for entries for the Native & Indigenous Art Exhibit – We are Still Here (Self Portraits).
All University of Arkansas Native and Indigenous students, staff, faculty and alumni, including Native citizens and descendants, are encouraged to submit works of artistic expression and/or self portrait in any medium for inclusion in this campuswide celebration and showcase of the thriving Native and Indigenous campus community.
The gallery exhibit will be hosted in the Anne Kittrell Gallery, a part of the Multicultural Center, on 4th floor of the Arkansas Union starting Nov. 16 as a part Native American Heritage Month, and run through the end of the semester.
Exhibit Statement: Native American Heritage Month is the opportunity for University of Arkansas Native and Indigenous students, staff, faculty, and alumni, including Native citizens and descendants to represent themselves through art and self portrait. The works presented will reaffirm the statement “We are Still Here” and express Native and Indigenous representation across our campus community.
“Historically, art has played such an integral role in each distinct culture represented in our Indigenous community on campus; for some of us, art mediums have been passed down for generations, and for others, it is just being learned. It is important that we celebrate both the survival and revitalization of our artistic expression, as art-from beadwork to weaving to painting-is representative of our resiliency and connection to the earth, our spirituality, and each other.”
— Hailey Hoog (Cherokee Citizen-Honors College Fellow.)
Mediums: All works will be accepted including self-portraits, poetry, digital art, video, photography, and 3D Art.
Submission Process: Submission dates: Please submit portraits in jpeg or tiff format or representations of artwork you plan to display by Friday, Nov. 10, via email to Emerald Hames, associate director of inclusive career design, at ehames@uark.edu or Bethany Kiele, assistant Curator Multicultural Center–Arts & Culture, at bkiele@uark.edu.

San Francisco Remembers Visionary Food Photographer Aubrie Pick
The San Francisco Bay Area mourns the passing of Aubrie Pick, an innovative food and lifestyle photographer. At the age of 42, Pick lost her battle with lymphoma earlier this month, as reported by her family and covered in an SFGATE article. Her significant collaborations with respected figures such as Chrissy Teigen, Tanya Holland, and Kristin Cavallari highlighted her distinct and energetic style across cookbooks, ad campaigns, and editorials.
According to fellow food writer Anna Roth, Pick’s zest for life infused her unique photography style. Deviating from conventional norms, Pick pursued a raw, exciting, and immersive experience to capture the authenticity of people and their culinary creations. Her approach quickly garnered recognition and impacted industry standards.
Pick’s professional achievements were not her only accolades. She exemplified emotional intelligence, fostering strong relationships within her team and beyond, as stated by Adeena Sussman in a touching Instagram post. Pick’s character left a profound effect, affirming her status as a compassionate mentor and friend in addition to being a respected industry leader.
Pick’s remarkable career saw her progress from a student at the San Francisco Art Institute to an influential independent business owner. Her portfolio includes collaborations with industry giants such as Food & Wine and Williams-Sonoma. Marcia Gagliardi, founder of the Tablehopper newsletter, articulates Pick’s ability to seamlessly capture joyful moments.
San Francisco journalist Erin Feher recounts a challenging assignment with Pick for Habitat, a former San Francisco Chronicle interior design magazine. Feher’s fond memory of Pick’s expert abilities allowed the duo in this instance to efficiently handle a demanding project.
Colleagues interviewed by SFGATE acknowledged Pick as more than just a creative collaborator. Painted as a loving mother, a generous spirit, and a deeply empathetic friend, Pick’s influence reached far beyond San Francisco’s close-knit community.
