ARt Shows

Current Exhibitor: Patsy Turner

Painting in various mediums and styles has become a great learning opportunity and challenge for Patsy during the last seven years since her retirement. Being self-taught, with a family history of artists whose endeavors cross many mediums, the legacy continues.  Her mediums include acrylics, acrylic pours, watercolor and oil. Her paintings have been exhibited and/or are still on exhibit at the Old Millington Winery, St. Matthews Church in Covington, the Tipton County Spring Festival, Dyersburg State Community College, and the Tipton County Library at the Jimmy Naifeh Center.  Her paintings can be found in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Oklahoma.

All the purposeful endeavors of my life have led me out of doors and into nature’s sanctuary. It is there that I find inspiration (and materials) for my works of art. My intention is to create works that have an internal life that nurtures the imagination and the spirit.
 Clay can capture a single moment in time - manifesting in form the impetus of action. These ceramic works encompass all the elements: earth, water, fire, space and air.
 Walnut ink has an organic fluidity that allows me to render the movement of plant life, even when no one is looking.
 This work is meditation- reflections of life, death, and transformation.
