Four artists with a mix of media and styles have been invited to join the Main Street Artists’ Co-Op in Waynesville.
Tim Lewis of Jackson County has worked as an independent artist for 30 years with a variety of media but loves photography. He creates original photographs and fabric designs for scarves using digital tools including photography and computer applications.
Diannah Beauregard of Waynesville is skilled in jewelry design and fabrication. She has explored innovative ways in which to showcase the natural beauty of gemstones in her 25 years of experience. She uses a vast array of techniques and expert craftsmanship in her internationally recognized designs.
George Kenney of Lake Junaluska works with stained glass windows. He took many courses in visual design and architecture in his undergraduate studies that have significantly influenced his original glass designs. His work is influenced by architecture, textures, geometry and contrasts combined with a personal preference for classical and contemporary stained glass designs.
The gallery is starting its fourth year at 93 Main Street at the corner of Miller and Main streets. It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Here they are, books yammering for review: a hillock of books on the floor by the desk; more books stacked on the desk itself, squeezed between a basket of spectacles and a coffee cup filled with pens and pencils, the cup itself bearing Jefferson’s remark, “I cannot live without books;” two more books for review keeping company in the trunk of my car; a lone rider of a book on the arm of the sofa by the porch door.
