Dempsey's Place
In the heart of downtown Welcome on old Highway 52, you’ll find the gallery of local artist Dempsey Essick. You'll know you have arrived at Dempsey's Place when you see the 14 foot tall hummingbird sculpture by the door!
Dempsey’s realistic style brings not only our local Davidson County history and personalities to life, but that of other places like the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina’s Outer Banks and Charleston as well! His painstaking attention to detail plus a hidden hummingbird in each painting are Dempsey’s trademarks. The environment at Dempsey's Gallery is homespun and relaxed, showcasing the artist's impression of nature and familiar destinations. Dempsey's hummingbird paintings come to life in an exclusive line gift line, Hummer-ville USA. Be sure to visit often as the exhibits change frequently.
