SONJA BECK Utilizing a bold, contemporary style full of color and life, dynamic angles, and layers of tonal variations, I work primarily with acrylics on canvas and colored pencils on paper. I capture expressive musicians (most of whom are my talented neighbors on the outskirts of Nashville, TN) playing their instruments to convey the soulful messages we hear in their music. I am drawn to the beauty we discover in nature and apply captivating compositions and perspectives. My love of people shines through in many of the portraits I create, expressing moments of joy or beauty. Through my work I strive to celebrate this colorful life and uplift others.

BOBBIE NOREEN I am the child of a very flamboyant colorful artist mother and a very analytical engineer type father. I loved the creative and beautiful side of nature and life, but being cautious and conservative at my father’s instruction, my right brain won out in my life choices. 2022 will mark my 50th year as a REALTOR broker, educator, and coach. Over those years I dabbled with oils and dreamed of being able to bring the scenes and visions, that were in my head, to life. Just before we went in to the lockdown, I met Debbie Keenan at an art show in Cheatham County. I had just started some on line classes with a teacher in abstract painting. When I saw the great works displayed, I became a little intimidated. However, I overcame my lack of confidence and showed Debbie a few things on my I-phone that I had completed . She was so complementary and encouraging that I promptly joined the league and continued to take classes. To my surprise, many of my facebook friends wanted to buy my work when they saw some of the postings. I have now sold over 30 paintings, each one inspired by a theme, a color or a memory. I am still involved in coaching and teaching real estate, but I owe my sanity this past 18 or so months to the creative side of my brain that finally has a voice. I instinctively know when something I have done is good and finished, because It happens outside of my conscious mind. I get lost in the moments and then all of a sudden I will stand back and think, “ Wow, how did that happen.” That’s my best work.

PAT MILLIUS The flooded earth must subside. Determined to flow in some singular direction instead of roiling itself into madness. And down inside all of this water, voices begin to be heard, calling us to fest. Not the voices of birth, but the voices of death in reverse. Struggling out of the blackness, still almost asleep. The song of the old gray rainbeard, joined in by rusty metal sighs from infants the size of whales. Almost falling awake.

MONICA O’NEILL These works are created using mixed media with photography, beeswax, damar resin, and oil paint. My work in encaustic is meant to capture the serene beauty in rural and historical scenes of Tennessee. Working in this medium and building the layers of wax is metaphorical to the layers of time which eventually break down all. Unlike the natural order of deterioration, encaustic medium seals each layer with the beeswax so the history of these structures and scenes are kept intact through the artwork. The landscapes of many rural areas of Tennessee are quickly changing to commerce and industrialization. Although the progress is sometimes necessary, I hope that my work causes the viewer to reflect on simpler scenes of a time that is quickly rushing away. Like a distant memory.

ALESHIA GARRETT Aleshia “Dream” Garrett creates art to capture the essence of the world’s natural beauty, creating a bridge between what is seen and what is felt. Spanning both abstract and realism, her paintings depict landscapes, seascapes and any subject that resonates with her soul. Based in Ashland City, Tennessee, she signs all her paintings as Dream - the nickname her husband gave her when they began dating in high school. Together, they shepherd a small flock of sheep raised for wool that she incorporates into her art, spins into yarn and weaves into textiles. Aleshia delights in creating one-of-a-kind pieces and sharing that joy with others.

DEBBIE FUSON I have always found a peaceful feeling in natural settings. I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of trying to capture the vividness of a colorful landscape, or the strength of an aged tree. During the pandemic I found myself drawn even more to the peace and well being I found outside on a trail or beside a creek. I strive to re-create moments of restoration through my art.

KRISTIN EASTWOOD

As a new artist, I have been experimenting with acrylic color and trying to create interest in everyday environments that may go unnoticed by the everyday passerby. The under paintings consist of vibrant and warmer colors and are layered with muted cooler colors. I chose to focus on subjects that showed age and texture so I could really play with color and give the viewer a more colorful memory of a place they see in passing everyday.

MEGAN DOTY-BARNES

Since I was a young child, I was drawn to music and art, and several years ago I embarked on the journey of higher education at Nossi College of Art for a bachelor’s degree in Commercial Illustration. Throughout my college experience, I tried many different mediums and styles, and I found that I really enjoy creating illustrations for children and upon learning this I decided to focus on writing and illustrating children’s books and creating artwork that children can interact with. Since I have a child of my own, I generally take inspiration from the things that he loves. I love working in all mediums, but I prefer working in oil, acrylic, gouache, and digitally. I look forward to having a life and career filled with art.

LISA WILLIS As an artist, the compositions I create are entries in a visual diary. I use stylized realism to paint allegories of the thoughts that weigh on my mind the most. After a strange and unprecedented year of lockdowns, medical tests, and drastic headlines, those thoughts turned to mortality, particularly my husband’s and mine. And yet, a simple observation of nature and the seasons reveals to us that everything ends. The deer in the painting stares at the viewer not as a threat, but as a gentle reminder that though we may fear death, we need to face it. And as unpleasant as it might be, we must learn to accept it.

RENEE FABER

Art is a way for me to connect to wonder, to fold into it. Life’s tenderness can simultaneously grow your heart and shatter you in equal measure, and creating art is a direct communication of this. Art is my way to not just fold into my own experience of wonder, but also to connect to others. My first profound experience of art was with my mom in the hills I grew up in, drawing and painting amongst the wildflowers and tall grasses with our dog napping beside us. Beautiful memories with my beautiful mom.

LUNDY CUPP My work primarily focuses on the human face and form and animals. All animals are unique even when they often look very similar or even identical. I enjoy giving them individuality. But I am mostly intrigued by the vast array of subtle nuance within the human face. No two faces are exactly alike. It is as unique as the individual who wears it and that person’s life experiences. For such a small area as a face, the expressions and variations are endless. I try to capture a brief moment of expression within my subject. As with any creative process, whether they are a portrayal of a specific individual or a whimsical character in my mind, the faces evolve as they emerge. This is one of the most satisfying aspects of what I do. My love of detail and combining realism with semi-abstract brings it all together for me. I enjoy experimentation and exploring new mediums and techniques to achieve my visions. My process and techniques have evolved over the past several years and continue to evolve. Trial and error is an important part in any material I work with. My book carvings emerged from my love of books. I quickly discovered encyclopedias are ideal for my subject matter of human portraits. I can carve a life-size face within the space of a few volumes. And since encyclopedias are now primarily obsolete, they are abundant. There are homes and attics across America full of these beautiful books. So I just give them a new life so-to-speak. It is an incredible challenge to carve paper. I don’t glue the pages together before carving. It’s purely subtractive, so much thought goes into the approximate 100 hours it takes to carve a portrait into the paper of books. I look at the world, animals and the human face in a different way than I did before I discovered my abilities as an artist. I see the beauty in both simplicity and complexity. The learning and discovery process never ends. Ever. That’s what makes this whole art thing work, what makes it so much fun and addicting. It’s the magic that drives the wonders of art.

PAUL PARILLO Once I become confident working with stained glass, I became curious how I could incorporate other objects and combine both glass and objects to create unique art. I love the challenge of taking used, sometimes broken musical instruments and creating a new, revitalized piece of art. Whether abstract or a themed design, it is very satisfying to blend the two separate art forms to become one.To date, I have created pieces utilizing guitars, violins, banjos, drums, cellos, guitar amps and mandolins

MORRIS SELF I have lived in Cheatham county for 26 years. I started doing sculptures for my family, and then their friends started commissioning sculptures from me. Then I started doing public art shows. My sculptures are made using recycled metal and scrap metals from our area to assemble sculptures of all different types. I have taught classes with children to motivate their art potential so they can experience taking items that are different and put them together in one common goal to make something other than its original purpose. I want people to see my art and realize their own potential to do something creative with simple every day items commonly thrown away. I have donated sculptures for fund raisers to local hospitals, schools, and charities, as well as, a 14’ breast Cancer ribbon sculpture located on Charlotte Avenue in Nashville at the Hope Lodge for cancer patients families.

STEPHEN HUTCHINS I’ve worked with stone over the last two decades as a mason and architectural stone carver. As a self- taught artist, sculpture has been a creative escape from the square and tape measure. My ultimate goal is to add a sense of peace to whatever setting my work occupies. I often create abstract, free-form shapes inspired by everyday objects whose simple beauty is easy to overlook: a rubber band, an orange peel, or a token found in the forest. I like to include texture using traditional masonry techniques in tandem with a high polish on the limestone and marbles that I work. Many of the sculptures I create are repurposed from stone that cladded Nashville’s historic buildings before they were demolished. Most recently, I’ve been exploring figurative sculpture in clay. Branching into a new medium has been an exciting growth opportunity, and I look forward to continuing this path and sharing my creations.

PHOENIX THORNBURG The time-honored art of preserving time through the photographic lens has long fascinated me. The viewfinder offers a structured limitation, inside which I find an outlet for exploration, reflection and expression. I am interested in the potential for time and space to be imprinted by energy and vibration, and try to translate this evocation of emotions by means of the photograph; storytelling. Living and working in rural Cheatham County has nourished the roots of my perspective with a constant flow of not only the profound beauty of nature found here, but also with local history and lore. “Southern Gothic” in style, my current series is a reflection of the haunted, heartbreaking, macabre and feral aspects of humanity, within the contexts of nature and culture in the South.

BEVERLY NICHOLSON As a photographer, My primary focus is to capture captivating images that tell a story of the life of the person, place or object photographed. In my process for choosing what I will photograph, I like to choose subject matter that enables me captivate the natural beauty and personality that is already present. I want my images to tell a story and to capture those stories at angles and depths that may or may not be within the compass of standard photography guidelines. In my recent work, I want to feel as though I’m stepping into the life, culture, or history of the captured image. My greatest desire is that each image will speak to the soul of the viewer so they can connect with the presence of the life they reflect.

I love walking on our farm, most of the time it’s right in front of me before I know it. Some of my favorite things are sunsets, crops in the field, smoky barns in the distance the list could go on and on….I’m definitely a farmers daughter and my work shows it. And then there’s another side of me that loves to travel. That’s in my blood too. My Mom was a international flight attendant. So lots of my photos are from my travels. Again whatever catches my eye. I’m also know to be driving and see something that I just can’t pass up and have to pull over. Hope you enjoy what you see. We all see through different lenses and that’s what makes the world go round. Cheers #foreversloane

ABIGAIL ‘OLLIE’ LAMBERT - 15

I use art to deal with the stress of life as a teenager. It also helped me cope with my parents divorce. I look to keep improving and developing as an artist

CALLIE EDWARDS - 15 My art focus has mainly been realism in the past, but this year I am striving to add a surrealistic spin on my art. Mixed media has also been one of my main focuses this year as well as representing an idea or myself as much as possible.

HANNAH CAULFIELD - 16

Hello, my name is Hannah Caulfield and I am a 16-year-old artist. I have been drawing since fourth grade and started digitally around 2019. I have been inspired by so many other artists on social media and people I know. I think I have improved enormously since I first started drawing and I would love to share my most proud pieces so far.

HAYLEY TENPENNY - 17

Art has been a large part of my life ever since I was really young. I taught myself how to draw all the things I saw and imagined. The thing that inspires me most about art is that it can be and mean so many different things. Everyone sees art differently and I love that no matter what I create, it can be interpreted differently. In my eyes, that’s the beauty of art.

ELIZABETH UFNAR - 12 I painted my piece Cherry Blossoms was made for my grandmother and I wanted to do things from around the world, and I really liked how cherry blossoms looked and really wanted to paint them. My other piece Country Garden, I wanted to paint something pretty that would help get me out of my art block, so I looked up some images and painted what I saw.

CONNER KELLY - 17

Art is like writing but the images show you and place on paper but I think beyond the Earth’s imagination and that’s why I draw because I want to tell a story through art.

SAGE VALENTINE - 18 The inspiration for this piece was an intended call out to pollution and how the environment would feel if it was as painfully aware as we are that we are killing Mother Nature. My hopes are that people will look at this piece and think twice before littering. I chose to use acrylic paint because I wanted to step just outside of my digital comfort zone. The ideas I had for this piece consumed numerous pages of my sketchbook both on paper and on screen. All the ideas boiled down to one key component, the environment. I though maybe a piece that had a deeper meaning may be important to other artists like it’s important to me. For a piece to have a deeper meaning is great because you appreciate it both from an artistic standpoint but also an intellectual standpoint.

NICOLE McCARVER - 18 Art is just always something I’ve done since I was small. I would always spend my free time drawing or doing something art related as a kid. My parents have always supported my dreams of being an artist. What inspires me is trying out new mediums and surrounding myself with beautiful art and artist.

BLAKELY TEAL - 15

I’m 15 years old, in 10th grade. My idea came from wanting to do something realistic with a fictional twist, but my real inspiration for the piece revolved around being totally oblivious to the world around you.

Just Another Day Blakely Teal Graphite & Charcoal 8.5 x 11 No: 12Ja

LANDON JOHNSON 17 This artwork took me some time to do because I mainly draw super hero’s but I couldn’t do that for this contest. So I though I would challenge myself by trying to draw as realistic as I could. I didn’t really know what to do so I just thought I’d draw an animal. I spent some time trying to learn how to do it and I don’t think it came out bad for my first attempt at realism.

VANCE BECKNELL - 17

My artistic expression in photographs revolves around my love of nature & the elements that attract us to the outdoors, such as life, light, & warmth. I find joy in capturing nature’s beauty in spontaneous, unexpected moments.
