Reynolds Homestead Hosts Two Emerging Artists in Exhibition
The Reynolds Homestead is pleased to be hosting two new emerging artists in its January-February exhibition.
Artist Karen Sigmon of Bassett has 15 oil paintings on display. She has exhibited in the annual JEB Stuart Art Show for the past three years while developing her skills under Henry County art instructor Joyce Wray. Her art has won awards in each show, including two second and one first place. Karen is particularly skilled at painting birds and rural landscape scenes.
Reynolds Homestead’s historical services coordinator Beth Almond Ford of Meadows of Dan shows her photography skills in her first full exhibition as well. Using an iPad, Beth captures images of everyday life around her rural home on a farm on the mountain. Her 19 photographs show the beauty of rural life and a real talent for capturing unusual subjects, including her own laundry on the clothesline.
The public is invited to attend a Meet the Artists Reception on Sunday, January 21 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the Homestead. The artists will be on hand to meet and greet visitors and talk about their work. Refreshments will be available as well. In the event of inclement weather that day, the reception will be held on Sunday, January 28.
Supporting local and emerging artists is a strong focus at the Reynolds Homestead, and staff encourage the public to come out and show your support for them as well.
The art will be on display through February 23.
