OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT

The Emily McClenagan Exhibit

About Her Exhibit…

Jane & Pearl started during my twins’ nap in 2015 as a way for me to create as well as give back to others.

I am partnering with Thrive Parkridge in East Knoxville to amplify their work and donate profits to help with projects such as renovating rooms and spaces in their 100-year-old building.

I love to paint live at weddings, watercolor home portraits, and of course whimsical florals.

More Exhibits

The Meg Nocero Exhibit

When in April of 2011 I lost my mother to breast cancer, I also lost my way. Perseverance and a never give up attitude is certainly something I learned from my Italian American upbringing as well as a love of writing, reading books and the arts. Navigating the grieving process, I turned to writing as a healing tool. I started simply. I would wake in the morning and read from a book that resonated with me.

The Mera Ragsdale Exhibit

My paintings question the way we look at feminine bodies especially in comparison to how masculine bodies are viewed. In art history, the objectification and presentation of female bodies and an accepted way to present and view them has long been prevalent, specifically as non-threatening objects of sexual desire. My work questions these long accepted practices and empowers my subjects to visually challenge the viewer.
