Mike Daikubara is an artist, author, designer, and educator based in Charlotte, North Carolina. He began daily sketching in 2000 as a way to communicate more clearly and quickly in his design work—and hasn’t stopped since. For him, sketching is a way to see, understand, and enjoy the world.
Mike is the author of 10 books on Urban Sketching, including Sketch NOW, Think Later and Color First, Ink Later, both published by Quarto. He has taught hundreds of students both in the U.S. and abroad, and has been a featured instructor at three international Urban Sketchers symposiums—in Manchester (UK), Porto (Portugal),
and Chicago (IL). Locally, he teaches sketching at Central Piedmont Community College.
This exhibition features 60 sketches drawn on location around Charlotte since he moved here in 2018. You’ll find well-known landmarks, hidden corners, and even a few places that no longer exist—reminders of how quickly this city is changing.

The Thin Red Line
Cato Campus at Annable: March 2025 – December 2025
Stop by Cato Campus to see the lates exhibition featuring Mario Loprete! Italian artist, Mario Loprete brings to us a fresh look at the archaic artistic culture of Italy with hip hop vibe. Created during the lockdowns of 2020, Loprete the idea of street art and street performers, or lack thereof during the lockdowns, inspired him. Reversing the concept of bringing art to the streets, Loprete brings street to art.
Ancient Romans famously built and sculpted out of concrete. Using his own clothing as inspiration, Loprete created concrete sculptures formed out of shirts, hats, shoes and more. Using masks as a support medium, Loprete incorporates hip hop dance and graffiti into his exhibition, mixing both traditional and contemporary styles as his muse.

This exhibit explores the relationship of an artist book to fine art: Namely, how is the structure influenced by content, whether words or visuals, and conversely, how is the content influenced by structure? As a medium of artistic expression, we use the book form as inspiration to illustrate ideas, communicate concepts, and develop relationships between materials and form.
Come see Terri Yacovelli, Patricia Raible and Jackie Radford’s art at Levine Campus!
